How you met: We met in college when his cousin started dating mine. They are now married as well and were both in the wedding party.

Unforgettable wedding moment: Everything!   The most memorable would probably be when the band had us come on stage to sing “Lets Get it on” to each other.

Most valuable piece of advice: Have fun and treasure every moment because it goes by way to fast.

Quirkiest detail: Either my hot pink shoes or the wine cork place card holders.

Thriftiest trick: Getting the cake from Publix, which was recommended by multiple people who insisted that it was one of the best places in the Charleston area for wedding cakes. I was nervous about it at first but it came out beautiful and tasted great, too!

Something old: My grandmothers original engagement ring and wedding band, which I wear on my right pinky finger every day.

Something new: Shoes/dress/Jewelry (Jewelry was from Mercury Jane on Etsy.com)

Something borrowed: Garter from my matron of honor.

Something blue: Panties with my husbands name printed on them in light blue, from one of my bridesmaids
