Brittany + Andrew

How did you meet?

In 2013 I moved to Charleston, South Carolina and started working at a restaurant where Andrew was the bartender. The two of us worked great together and we became friends fast. We were both dating other people at the time, but a couple months down the road we became single at the same time and started a relationship. I love that we were such good friends before we started dating because he was already someone I confided in and trusted so it made the relationship that much easier in the beginning.

When did you know they were the one?

There wasn’t an exact moment I knew, but many moments of “I’m marrying this man.” We’d be out at a restaurant and he’d hold the door open for another guest, he calls and talks to his mother daily, he supports me in everything I want to do even if it makes no sense.

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?

Kind – Andrew has the kindest and sweetest soul I’ve ever met. If I’m venting to him about work, or someone stressing me out he will be the first person to tell me to give them the benefit of doubt and maybe they are having a bad day as well. He’s made me a kinder person and I absolutely love that about him.

Independent – Andrew has helped me realize that being in a relationship you are apart of each other’s life, but not each other’s WHOLE life. It’s ok to have girls trips and travel separately. He can hold the fort down at home and take care of himself. 🙂

Enthusiastic – My husband is that guy immediately after the concert calling all his friends, all his family, telling them how amazing it was. It’s not only with concerts, it’s also with dinner, and movies. It makes me smile so much and I can’t help but laugh every time he does it.

Who proposed and how?

After 5 years of dating we had a house, three dogs, a great life, but we were ready for the next big commitment, marriage. Unfortunately COVID happened and slowed us down a little, but in March of 2021 Andrew proposed at our home with our dogs wearing “Will You Marry Our Dad?” bandanas. It was perfect for us in every way.

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

I went to Lovely Bride in Charleston, South Carolina. I walked in with an idea of what I wanted and had picked out 5 dresses to try on. Archie was the second dress I tried on and I instantly fell in love. THE BACK SOLD ME!! I got so many compliments the day of my wedding because of the back on Archie.

What was the best moment for you at the wedding

I had just put my dress on and the photographer and videographer were ready to take shots of my Mom and I. I looked at my Mom all dressed up and I looked at myself in the mirror and in that moment I realized “This is happening! I’m getting married!” I started tearing up, and getting really emotional. That was one of the best moments and I will cherish it forever.

What were your favourite details? 

For our table numbers we had pictures of the two of us growing up so our guests got to see into our childhood a little bit.
The aisle for our ceremony had Moroccan Rugs and it looked amazing for our Montana boho wedding.
Big dog people over here so our favorite detail was the miniature dogs we had made of our dogs for the cake.

What advice would you tell other brides?

Take everything in! During the wedding I felt like I was waiting for the next thing to happen and looking back I just wish I would of held onto everything for just a little bit longer. The day flies by!e

Any standout vendors?

EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT!!!

Danielle Lopez Photo and Wild Grove Media were my photographer and videographer and they showed up with all the amazing vibes. They’re so much fun to work with and after 24hrs we had sneaks that were incredible!!

Ceremony Bozeman was our hair and makeup team and they made my girls and I look and feel so glam!

Big Sky Photobooth was a hit at the reception. They were great to work with and helped bring the party to life!

Non of this would of been possible without our incredible Wedding Planner Kris Bart at Happenings. She made our wedding dreams come true!
