Jessica and Kyle had their dream wedding this summer. Welcome to the Believe Bride squad! Thank you for sharing all about your special day with us! We are so happy to be able to be a part of your love story. Congratulations!

The Big Day: Our wedding day was the perfect day. Despite little things going “wrong” (like forgetting to put the center pieces out and it being 100+ degrees), it was the best day.

Kyle, his family and myself worked hard almost every day after work and every weekend to make sure the property was ready for our wedding day and all the hard work paid off. It turned out better than we ever could have hoped.

We had an intimate first look that was captured by our videographer (definitely recommend!!) and photographer. Having this time to spend together and share our gifts before the business of the day was exactly what we needed and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

We laughed, cried, danced and shared memories with our closest friends and family. It was the perfect day.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: It’s is hard to pick just one favorite part but I would have to say the first look between Kyle and I was my favorite moment. I remember looking around the corner, and saw him standing and waiting for me. At the moment it became so real - I was about to get married!

Special Memories: My best friend and maid of honor shared her mother’s blue sapphire ring and matching earrings with me to wear as I married my best friend. This was an emotional and precious moment as her mom, who I considered my second mom, passed away in December 2014. This made it feel like she was right there sharing my wedding day with me.

Another special thing was my uncle built our arbor. He created the most beautiful arbor for us to get married under from cedar. He surprised me with it a few weeks before the wedding.

My dad is in a wheelchair and sharing our first dance was another special moment I will never forget. We danced and laughed while everyone watched and my mom cried while capturing as many pictures as she could.

What advice would you give to future brides?: First off, remember to take a deep breath. Look around and take it all in because as cliché as it sounds, it goes by fast. Just remember why you are getting married and what the day really means. Small things may go wrong but at the end of the day you are marrying the love of your life and that’s all that really matters. Also, on a more practical note, I would recommend a first look! It’s such an intimate time to share with you partner-to-be and it gives you both time to really just be together and take it all in.
