On a beautiful summer day in Helena, MT, love truly blossomed as Sarah and Kitrick embarked on their journey of forever at the Shades of Green on June 30th, 2023. Surrounded by their cherished loved ones, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, their voices filled with sincerity and tenderness. It was a wedding filled with pure happiness, an enchanting reflection of the love that Sarah and Kitrick share. Congratulations Sarah and Kitrick! Welcome to the Believe Bride family!

The Proposal! We went on a dreamy winter weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We had planned to go snowshoe around the lake; however, I got sick, and we just stayed in bed the whole morning. There was an incoming blizzard, so we decided to get on the road before we got caught in it. When we got home, I still was not well, so I got comfy and snuggled into bed again. He came over to my side of the bed and presented a book he wrote for me to celebrate our anniversary. At the end of the book, he expressed his love and got down on one knee to ask the best question I've ever been asked! "Of course," was my answer. And although he had planned to ask on our snowshoe adventure, asking in our bedroom made it feel intimate and just as special.

The Dress! I went into dress day having an idea of what I was looking for, though I also had an open mind to something that was not on my radar. I wanted something fitted but comfortable. I knew I wanted lace, but not too much. I tried on a few at another shop that just really never made me feel like a bride. When I got to Believe they instantly made me feel special with the sash and excited faces greeting you. I told my stylist what I had in mind, and she pulled a few that were very similar. When I tried mine on, it was comfortable, passed the sitting test, and fit me like a glove. It felt perfect in every way.

The Big Day! We wanted our wedding to be a celebration of love. Our colors were natural to the surroundings of our venue: blues, greens, whites, and hints of pink. We also wanted it to feel intimate and romantic, so we added lights everywhere and had under 100 guests attend. We were able to talk to all of our friends and family throughout the night, which made it feel extra special.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? Our favorite moment of the wedding was sharing our handwritten vows with each other. It felt like it was just us, even though our friends and family surrounded us.

Special Memories: The first look and special daddy-daughter dance with the groom and his two little girls was very special to watch. The girls never lost their huge grins and of course dad shed some tears.

Giving the girls their necklaces as a sign of my love and care for them, as now their bonus mom felt so special. A moment I will never forget. Their eyes lit up when they learned they were also getting a gift during the ceremony.

What advice would you give to future brides? Get the grooms input on the day. It's a day to celebrate the love and bond you have, so his opinion also matters. Also give yourself grace, not everything is going to go right, and you aren't going to find all the perfect details your mind thinks you will find. It will be okay, and the day will still be beautiful!
