How did you meet each other?
We met when Andrew picked up my roommate for a pickup volleyball game that I was subbing in for, and the rest is history!
What was the best memory of your wedding day?
Emily: Walking from the ceremony back to the bridal cottage as husband and wife. It was the first time we got to talk to each other and actually be alone all day, and it was a perfect break from the whirlwind that preceded and followed it. Also, the dancing/reception! Being surrounded by everyone we both love was surreal and beautiful.
Andrew: Watching Emily walk down the aisle, exchanging our vows, and dancing!
What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?
Make sure to schedule time with your partner to date each other! Wedding planning can get really stressful and it can feel overwhelming, so taking the time to have dates where you don't talk wedding planning is essential. Also, setting a budget right away is really helpful when trying to decide what vendors work best for you.
Where did you go on your honeymoon? Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed. Would you recommend to other couples?
We haven't gone on our honeymoon yet (November 2023!) but we are going on a Celebrity cruise to the Caribbean and we are so excited. After planning, planning, planning, we thought a cruise would be a great way to decompress and just go where the ship takes us.
