How They Met:

“We met through my sister and brother-in-law. Terry and Scott worked together, and we became friends first (years before we started dating) but we always had a connection. One summer it just clicked, and eleven years later we are married with a baby on the way!”

The Proposal:
“Terry proposed December 22nd at our house. He was acting strange all day, asking what time I would be home from work, and dinner with family (he never asks what time I will be home). I finally got home and he wasn’t there, I might have been a little irritated that he wasn’t home. I ended up getting into pajamas, and falling asleep on the couch. He came home turned on every light, made me come into the living room and asked if I really loved him. I said yes, and he took out a brown engagement ring box. I was shocked (we had been together for 10 years) and don’t even remember the rest!”

Best Wedding Memory:
“Waking up to snow in a beautiful hotel (Hotel Monaco) and not worrying about a thing since all of our family was with us. The best part was taking pictures with our family in the snow, on the trolley ride, and in front of City Hall. I don’t think our pictures can be reproduced – it was magical! The few cars that were on the street were honking, it was just so exciting!”

 Wedding Planning Advice:
“Don’t stress, and stick to your instincts. Make sure that the day represents you as a couple, and not what everyone else wants. It’s your day!”

Wedding Vendor Experience:
“Our vendors were amazing! Our wedding was at Union Trust, and Emily + Thomas were awesome to work with. Union Trolley Works provided the trolley for our unforgettable ride through the snowy streets. A Fresh Breath of Hair came to Hotel Monaco for hair and make-up. So awesome! Rachel Betson captured all of the magical moments of our day and Christian Eaves got our day on film!”
