How did you meet your husband? How did he purpose?

I met Jesse through my auntie Sarah. She is a hairstylist and did Jesse’s mom’s hair for his brother’s wedding on Saturday, July 15, 2017. I had just come home from Florida and went to see her on July 16, and she had shown me a photo of Jesse’s mom standing with him and his brothers. She said to me, you must see this mother of the groom’s hair I did, she’s so beautiful she could be the bride. When she showed me the photo my eye immediately went to Jesse and I said wow she’s really pretty, who’s that in the photo with her, pointing to Jesse. She said that’s her youngest son, I think he’s single. So, I told her to feel free to pass on my number. We went on our first date 4 days later…

We took our first photo together at the top of Blue Mountain, Ontario and he purposed at the top of the mountain 3 years later. He took me to the spot we took the photo and pointed it out so naturally, I thought he was going to as me then. A minute goes by, and he says “okay, let’s keep going”. So, I didn’t think it was going to happen anymore. Before we left, we stopped at this beautiful lookout and he surprised me by purposing then!

How did you feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone’s reaction to the dress?

I felt like a bride in my dress. I felt both feminine and sexy in it. The only person who had seen my dress before the wedding was my mum, so everyone was completely surprised. No one expected me to wear a princess dress (because my other Galia dress is tight fitting G-104) I wanted to do something fun and magical for this wedding (my other one was May 20, 2022) and it was everything I had hoped for.
