Tell us about your wedding venue(s) and why you chose to get married there.
Cathedral is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. I always remember staying at in awe as a little girl.
What is your favorite wedding purchase?
My dress!
What is your favorite wedding memory?
Jake and I dancing to our favorite song by Taylor swift. He didn’t care who was watching… He just let loose and shook the haters off 😉
Did you create any details yourself? How did you incorporate your personalities into the wedding?
We had a few songs of traditional afghan dancing, which are from the bride’s side of family. During the dance they would form a circle and have Jake and new family members dance in the middle to welcome to the family and celebrate our special day. It was so much fun and very special to see those two sides of the family come together! It’s a moment we will never forget.
What is your wedding song?
Just the way you are – Billy Joel
