How did you meet?
We met our freshmen year of college at Elon University. We were introduced by a mutual friend at the local bar, West End. Hans asked me to a fraternity date party a few days later, and the rest is history!

How did you get engaged?
We got engaged in December in New York City where we were living at the time. We were meeting friends for drinks, but Hans surprised me by renting out a part of the rooftop at Gallow Green and had our entire families fly in. We spent the weekend celebrating in NYC, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas and felt so magical.

Details of the day!
We got married at the beautiful Hamilton Farm Golf Club. We chose to do everything outside—ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. The ceremony took place on the lower lawn, with stairs leading up to the cocktail hour. The mansion is brick with greenery and has a lovely charm to it. The feel we were going for was an elegant garden party. We rented blue floral napkins from BBJ Linen that I loved and the space was covered with greenery and white florals.

Why did you choose your venue?
We loved the fact that we could do everything all in one space to make it convenient for us and for our guests. The mansion at the club is gorgeous on the inside and out and has a beautiful space for brides to get ready. We had multiple different spots we could choose for the ceremony, cocktail and reception. It felt like we could be creative and really make the day our own. The team at Hamilton was also amazing to work with, so that made our decision easier, too!

What was on your menu?
The first course was salad of Blue Moon Acres lettuces with Humboldt Fog chèvre, crunchy walnuts, sundried cranberries and Calamansi vinaigrette. Our main course was a duel plate of Snake River Farm filet mignon and Maine lobster tail served with roasted micro potatoes and garlic-roasted asparagus. Our cake was vegan and gluten-free because I have a lot of food allergies! It was a chocolate cake filled with raspberry French cream, and the cake was iced with vanilla buttercream. We did a small two-tiered cake decorated with white and green florals.

All about your gown!
I knew once I put on my gown it was the “one.” It felt so comfortable and so me! It was a lacy gown with a V-shaped neckline and low back.

What was your favorite moment?
This is so hard to choose. I loved every second of our day! We chose to do a sweetheart table, which we didn’t think we would, but are so glad we did. When we sat down for dinner and had 10 minutes to ourselves, that might have been my favorite moment. We were able to look around and just take everything in!

One detail you couldn’t live without?
A wedding planner. I am very much a type-A person who loves to plan and organize, but having my planner the day of our wedding was truly something I don’t think we could have done without. It was such a great investment!

Did anything go wrong?
Nothing to my knowledge went wrong!!

First dance song?
“I Am Yours,” by Andy Grammar.

Any advice for future brides?
Decide with your fiancé on your top priorities for the wedding! For us, it was the food, music and making sure everyone had a great time. Try to focus on those and not get bogged down on the small things.
