The night I got engaged I was planning on going out for a fun night out with the girls, but Brandon had something else planned for the night. I was ready for the girls night and walked out onto our deck at our house to chat with everyone else outside. But, I soon noticed that Benelli (one of our dogs) had something around her neck, and I quickly went to go see what it was. As I looked a little closer at Benelli's neck, there was a collar around her neck that read "will you marry me?", I instantly burst into tears. I was speechless. And our dogs Benelli & Bass were also happy to help Brandon deliver the special message. I wore a the Blanche gown by Maggie Sottero. My favorite part about this gown was the long sleeves. This dress was perfect for my rustic elegance theme. Wedding Dress: Maggie Sottero, Blanche Veil: 9452 Cathedral veil with sparatic alencon lace appliqués Shoes: Maddox
A sentimental 'Something Old' One of my favorite moments from my wedding was surprising my grandma with re-sizing her wedding ring and wearing it on my wedding day as something old.

Shopping for my dress and my bridal party was so much fun! I liked getting to try on different styles of dresses  and then go back later and see what looks best with my bridesmaid dress and the guys clothes!

Advice for Brides My best advice to give brides who are currently planning their wedding is to have fun with it! Although the planning process can be stressful, it's worth it all in the end!
