Laura + Harry

How did you meet?

It was the summer of 2014, I was visiting my hometown for the weekend and set myself up for a date with a guy I knew from high school. I promptly arrive at our scheduled time only to receive a text that he was running late I went inside the restaurant/bar anyway and saw a bunch of high school buddies sitting outside. I sat down at their table and there he was, looking like a tall glass of water on hot summers day. Harry had just moved to California from England to work as a tennis coach, and was on a work visa. Instantly we had chemistry (I am a sucker for accents) and moments later when my date arrived, it was already game over. We have been together ever since!

When did you know they were the one?

A year and half into our relationship, a close friend of mine tragically passed away. I was an absolute mess but I don’t know how I would have coped without his support. He was there when I found out and never left my side.

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?

Harry and I are both very goofy and silly, and he is the kind of person who you can be your most truest, authentic self around. He is very loyal, understanding, and kind.

Who proposed and how?

Harry proposed on my favorite beach (Akumal, Mexico) during 2019 thanksgiving trip with both our families present.

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

I found my dream dress (Tommy) at A and Bé bridal shop in Sacramento, CA. I wanted a dress that had a low back with lots of detail, fitted with a bit of flare at the bottom, and boy did she deliver!! I felt like a princess wearing my dress and I wasn’t uncomfortable at all dancing all night long.

What was the best moment for you at your wedding? 

It’s hard to pick one so I will chose three
1. First look
2. Walking down the aisle
3. Dancing with all my favorite people

What were your favourite details?

I absolutely loved the intricate and detailed beading throughout the dress and the low back.

What advice would you tell other brides?

Make sure you can sit and dance comfortably in your dress!
