Our Wedding.. How it began

Its about time to share some of the photos, vendors and highlights of our wedding this past July.  Since our recent feature in CitiScapes, I’ve been asked and motivated to share more!  Today I will start with how it began… the rings!

Zac gifted me with 2 plane tickets to NYC on Christmas 2011, and my heart honestly skipped a beat hoping the trip would be complete with a proposal.  I tried not to get too carried away, especially since I trusted that it would be coming soon and we were already talking very seriously about marriage.  He did a very good job throwing me off during the trip.. so much that on the 2nd night of our trip, when he took me to the Top of the Rock and pulled out a gorgeous engagement ring, I was so shocked all I could respond with was “Thank you!!!”  Hahaha, needless to say, that meant YES!

Here we are at Top of The Rock in NYC right after Zac proposed on February 4th, 2012!  It was the most romantic proposal I could have dreamed of.. followed by a stroll down to The Plaza for celebratory champagne..

Zac purchased my engagement ring (well, the one he proposed with…) at Sam’s Club here in Fayetteville.  After some sizing complications and unsatisfactory customer service, we decided it was too sentimental and needed to be purchased from a local jeweler that truly cared.  We shopped around a little bit and ended up choosing a ring almost identical at Romance Diamond Co. here in Fayetteville!  They were wonderful to work with and we both feel secure in the jewelry and their ability to service us.

This is an upclose pic of the ring from Romance and Zac’s Titanium band from Sam’s Club taken at the wedding.

And my wedding band, ahhh, how I love it!  It’s an infinity style design, gold, also from Romance Diamond Co.. and I love how the yellow gold looks with the white gold of my engagement ring.  I always have on mixed metals.

I still get giddy thinking about that cold night in February when Zac first asked me to share my life with him.. one of the best days of my life!

Here is a pic of our lovely head table on the stage at the Garden Room where I married my best friend a few weeks ago.  It truly was magical.  I’m so thankful for our amazing designer and friend, Keith Taylor, for creating this space!  After the ceremony, Keith transformed the stage into our head “tea party inspired” table.. He brought every idea and picture I had collected to life!  We will have more pics to come over the next few months as they roll in.. I am especially excited to see the ones from our photographer, Kaity Whitman with The Photo Love.
