How did you meet?
We actually met in a basement during a house party. The rest is history.

How did you get engaged?
Rob brought me to a restaurant that he knew I loved! Liberty House Restaurant in Jersey City has the perfect view of NYC. After dinner we walked and he started playing a video he made showing the process of getting my ring. It was the cutest thing. The next thing I know he’s on one knee and he had someone secretly taking pictures. It was amazing.

Details of the day!
We went for a rustic feel. We used wood pallets on the tables with delicate details. Some tables had rose petals scattered and babies breath in a small vase. Others had a mixture of vases, some with roses and some with babies breath. The groomsmen wore navy and the bridesmaids wore a mauvey color. Our bouquets had flowers with babies breath and a mixture of greenery.

Why did you choose your venue?
We chose our venue because it is local, we have been to many events there before, and they do everything for you the day of. We didn’t want to worry about setting up or any details like that. They took over that part for us to help reduce some of our stress.

What was on your menu?
Cocktail hour had many things.. a Tuscany table with meats and cheeses, shrimp cocktail, lamb lollipops, stuffed mushrooms, ahi tuna, pigs in a blanket and more!The wedding menu started off with a house salad with a balsamic dressing. Next there were two pastas: penne with marinara and orecchiette with peas and prosciutto. For the main course there was a choice of east coast grouper stuffed with breaded asparagus or a bone in chicken Marsala. They came with mashed potatoes and a zucchini squash vegetable melody. Our cake was a marble pound cake with cannoli filling!

All about your gown!
My gown was not what I expected. When I put it on I felt like a princess. It has a sheer neckline and sheer back. There was lace at the top and delicately put around the bottom. At first I put it back. I tried on other gowns and I kept thinking about that one (it was the second one I tried on). I got it back and put it back on and knew I had to get it. It actually fit perfect too. The only alteration I needed was the length. The color was also called almond. So it was different than the normal. It had just a slight undertone of almond/blush that was gorgeous.

What was your favorite moment?
I don’t even know which moment to pick. That day was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. I think my favorite thing about the day is that I never felt more comfortable in my own skin. I felt just like everything was perfect .. life was perfect .. it’s very hard to explain the contentness and overall happiness I felt.

One detail you couldn’t live without?
I absolutely loved our bouquets. The colors of the creams and blushes and greenery … so romantic and really pulled the color scheme together.

Did anything go wrong?
I did forget to wear my veil after the first look. I didn’t have it on during my ceremony or reception. Oops!!

First dance song?
Take my hand by Emily Hackett

Any advice for future brides?
I know everyone says not to stress out and enjoy the process. But seriously. It’s only one day and if something simple goes wrong the day of .. no one but you will notice.. They don’t know what your plan or envision is. Just enjoy every second of that day.
