Alexis & Joey

How did you meet?

Joey and I met when we were both working at a local pizza restaurant.

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?

The first shift we worked together, it just took one conversation to know he was someone really special.

Who proposed and how? 

He proposed to me Thanksgiving weekend with just my parents in a place we’ve been vacationing to ever since I was a little girl. He insisted we go take a visit to this little chapel off the beach and sign our names in the guest book. He’s always been that nerd who takes pride in his penmanship and he said “Babe, come look at my signature.” I looked and realized he put his last name as my last name,  I turned around and he’s on one knee. It was so simple and so meaningful, one of the best moments of my life.

What was the best moment for you at the wedding?

There were so many moments I’ll never forget about our day but my favourite was reaching the end of the aisle and Josh taking my hands, it was so calming and it felt like everything went quite around us.

Where did you fall in love with your dress and why?

I tried my dress on in a local bridal shop in Ft. Lauderdale, FL called Lighthouse Bridal. The lace detail and uniqueness of the bow combined with the low back was something I had never seen before and instantly fell in love with it. The fact that my dress has the same name as my now husband was a bonus 😉

What surprised you most at or about your wedding?

Seeing Joey for the first time waiting for me at the altar.

What advice would you tell other brides? 

Remember WHY you’re marrying your partner, it’s so easy to get caught up in all the details.
