How did you meet? Matt was moving a relative out of one of my parent's apartments. I answered the door after hopping out of the shower, dripping wet! The next week Matt came looking for me at a Sycamore playoff football game.

When and how were you engaged? June 6, 1987 at my high school graduation. Matt got down on his knee and asked me to marry him at my parent's house right before the graduation ceremony.

   

Most memorable wedding day moment? It snowed in the morning and it was so beautiful.

If you could do it all over again would you change anything? We would have gone to a different honeymoon destination because we were in a car accident in Longboat Key, Florida. We also wish we would have hired a videographer because we don’t have a video of our wedding day.

 

What is one piece of advice you can give to our Bride and Grooms? Forgive and communicate. Enjoy the day and don’t worry about everything.

Pink Wedding Gown!

 My dream has come true, a tasteful and glamorous blush PINK wedding gown! Aubrey and I attended Chicago Social Brides, Bridal Walk on Oak St, and even though we were there for her, cause she is engaged!! (Not sure if I had announced that yet?)  I fell in love with this Palazzo wedding gown!!  It is even more beautiful in person.  The silhouette is absolutely amazing and the color is just enough that its not overwhelming.  I want to remarry my husband just so I can wear this Palazzo gown!  Go check it out for yourselves at their boutique at 49 E. Oak St.
