Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We met at work. A few years of being acquaintances turned into true love!

Steve proposed to me on the soft white sand of Carmel beach underneath a beautiful sunset. He even had a camera on a tripod set up in the distance so he caught the whole thing and now we have wonderful memorable photos.

What was the most amazing part of your day? The most amazing part of our day was having all of our closest family and friends together in one beautiful secluded place. We couldn’t be more blessed with those who surround us with there love.

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now? Make sure to slow down and enjoy the process of everything. Especially the actual event date. Everything goes by so quickly! And, stay organized!

Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance? Slow down and enjoy the day! Steve and I both feel we didn’t have any spare or free time at the reception! But, you know how it goes! Time flies when you’re having fun!
