If you could sum up your wedding in three words, what would they be?
Intimate, Elegant, FUN 

Tell us about your wedding venue(s) and why you chose to get married there.
We chose Church of the Assumption because we both grew up going to church there. There was no better place to start our next chapter together. We then chose Nico Bella for our reception venue because of the feeling we felt when we walked in. We knew it was the right place to throw our reception when we saw the size of the venue, the crystal chandeliers, and the brick detailing.

What was your favorite wedding detail?
My favorite wedding detail was my veil to my wedding gown. This veil was custom made to match my dress and it was amazing. I was also in love with the draping that was done by Party Central at the reception venue. It added such a romantic feel to our venue.

What is your favorite wedding memory from the day?
Our favorite memory that we will never forget is when we both sang Casanova by Keith Franks with Krossfyre! It was a BLAST!!!

How did you incorporate your personalities into your wedding celebration?
I am all about the glitz and the glamor, so I knew when picking out the details I was going for just that. From the dresses to the draping, from the band to the food, it was perfectly our taste. Gold accents, BIG arrangements and sparkly dresses is what I always dreamed my wedding would consist of and it was just that! BJ wanted to incorporate his favorite hobby (hunting) into our wedding reception, so he had a groom’s hunting cake that was very tasteful that he designed himself. BJ’s taste was whatever made his bride happy!!!!

What is your wedding song?
“Perfect” – Ed Sheeran
