Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We, along with our families, went to the same church together. We have known each other since I was 5 and Carlos was 9.

What was the most amazing part of your day? Getting married by the church. We got married at the Sacramento Temple. Everything felt complete and real after that. Walking down the aisle was amazing, too.

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now? You can never be too prepared. Make sure you as the bride and groom have nothing to do but be present. Also, set aside a decent amount of time to take pictures.

Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance? We wish we had snacks in our dressing rooms.
