How did you meet each other?
We met during a class at Johnson & Wales University in Denver, Colorado. There was an instant attraction, and by our three-year anniversary, we were engaged!
What was the best memory of your wedding day?
We hadn't discussed this until you asked the question and somehow had the same exact answer... We both felt that our "First Look" was the best moment of our wedding day. The mere anticipation and excitement was an overwhelmingly happy experience. It was an unforgettable, personal moment that we could share before everything really kicked off and was the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of the day. It's one of those moments that instantly takes you back to how you were feeling at that exact time - It puts a smile on my face and I think it will do that the rest of our life :)
What is some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?
Steph: Leading up to that day, take some time to really think about those "must-do" moments - the moments you've dreamt of and cannot miss on that day. Once you have those, let your coordinator or best man/maid of honor know what they are so they can be sure to schedule those into the day or make sure they make it happen for you some how. Then, on that actual day, just let go of everything, take it all in, and live in the present moment.
Nick: Be sure to communicate with any family members or friends if they're being included for any part of the wedding (special seating, group and/or extended family pictures after the ceremony, etc.)
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
We spent our Honeymoon at The Caves in Negril, Jamaica. It was unbelievable and better than we could have ever imagined! We spent most of our time relaxing in the most picturesque setting along the cliffside, got pampered with incredible couples spa treatments, ate ah-mazing food, and met friendly locals everywhere we went.
