Tell us a little about you and your beloved:  We met at our friend’s Super Bowl Party and we hit it off right away. Kenton surprised me with a proposal at Apple Hill. It was a beautiful fall day I will never forget.
What was the most amazing part of your day?  Saying, “I do!”
What else would you like to share about your big day?  We had our tables named after apples to represent our Apple Hill proposal. My niece was the flower girl and my nephew was the ring bearer. The guest book was a Fuji instax photo book. All of the guests could take their picture right then and put it into the book and write something special.

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now?  I think you if you can find a venue that is all inclusive, it makes the planning and the day itself less stressful.
Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance?  No, it was a perfect day.
