Tell us a little about you and your beloved: Jordan and I are high school sweethearts. We have been together for 11 years! We grew up and still live in Folsom. Jordan is the head JV coach at Folsom High School, I am a real estate agent. It is a little cliché, but it’s perfect for us. We are so blessed.
What was the most amazing part of your day? The whole day was AMAZING!! Having my mom walk me down the aisle and having my grandfather marry us will remain one of the most special moments in our lives.
Also, walking into the reception together for the first time and seeing all of our close family and friends in one room, there to celebrate with us, was definitely a feeling we will remember forever.
What else would you like to share about your big day? Our wedding turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We enjoyed every part of it! We are so grateful to everyone who was there to support us.

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now? Two words…Photo Booth! We are so glad we decided to get one. It was so much fun for everyone. After the wedding was over, Jordan and I were dying of laughter looking at the pictures. A little wine, a few costumes and a camera makes for some pretty hilarious pictures.
Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance? Nothing. Honestly! It was a perfect and magical day.
