Mia and Phil’s lakeside wedding day 10~22~22

How and or where did you meet?
I was at a coworker/friends house and he stopped by to see her and meet her new boyfriend.

How did you get proposed to?
We were supposed to have dinner at a nice restaurant when I got off work (I had no idea about the proposal, we do date night once a month.) but there was an icestorm so I was sent home early. We didnt want to stay in town with the weather so I came straight home. He presented the ring and then built a fire so we could snuggle up in front of it ?

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?
During the ceremony he grabbed my hand and held it to his heart to show me how fast and hard his heart was beating. I was so surprised because I was so calm and happy. The day was literally perfect and it felt so right to be standing at the alter with him!

What vendors did you use at your wedding?
We just did BBQ and sides, so HAWGS in Batesville, Arkansas. Our photographer is Meeta Foster Photography, LLC also of Batesville, Arkansas.

What was your experience like at Normans Bridal?
Everyone was absolutely amazing. I happened to spot the store while in town dress shopping at other store. They squeezed me right in. Then I came back to try on more dress and purchase The One. My last visit was to pick up the dress. Emily & Katie helped me each time. You can tell they really care about the brides.
