1. How did he propose? “On Christmas Day, Jerry’s 3 kids surprised me one at a time with letters describing why they love me. Then Jerry got down on one knee and proposed. I didn’t expect it at all that day, and I had never seen him look so nervous. It was adorable.”
2. What were your favorite wedding moments? “After much discussion, we’ve realized it’s impossible for us to pick one moment as our favorite. It was amazing to have all of the most important people in our lives in one room celebrating together. Every little moment added up to our perfect day. I loved dancing the night away with family and friends. Jerry loved when I surprised him with a Yankees garter belt. We both loved receiving the folio from Erin at the end of the night. It was a huge surprise and so beautiful.”
3. What was the funniest wedding moment? “The funniest moment was the end of the night with our maid of honor and best man. We were all trying to get the perfect Erin Hession “sparkler” picture. After hours of dancing and partying, the simple directions weren’t so easy to follow, and we still laugh thinking about the shenanigans that ensued.” 🙂
4. What was your first dance song? “Our first dance was to a version of “Say You Won’t Let Go” by James Arthur sung by Jerry’s gorgeous sister. It was absolutely flawless and meant so much more because Anita sang it for us.”
5. Where did you go on your honeymoon? “For our honeymoon, we went to a resort in the Dominican Republic. Beautiful weather, beach, pools, and dancing made for a much needed relaxing vacation.”
6. What advice would you give to future brides? “Many people told us to enjoy the wedding day because it comes and goes in a flash, and they were absolutely right. Enjoy every moment to the fullest, even when things aren’t going as expected. You can never get those moments back!”

1. How did he propose? “Last year we celebrated our Christmas together before Christmas because we would be out of town visiting family on Christmas. Nate insisted I open my gift from him first while he waited. He’d wrapped a huge box, and when I opened it, I found a smaller box inside with a note. He wrapped several boxes inside other ones, leaving notes and drawings in each box. One note even read, “I want you to know how much I love you, but there is not a ring inside this box.” When I finally opened the smallest box, it was empty except for a post-it note that read, “You should turn around now.” When I did, he got down on one knee and proposed – with a ring from his pocket, not any of the boxes.” 🙂
2. What was your favorite wedding moment? “This is a tough question! Probably when we walked up the aisle after the ceremony. We were officially married, and it was wonderful to see so many of our friends and family so joyful with us. The toasts were also beyond our expectations, and it was so much fun to see our friends and family – especially parents and nephews – tear up the dance floor.”
3. What was his favorite wedding moment? “His brother’s toast! He was not prepared for it at all. It made us laugh and cry, and it even rhymed!”
4. What was the funniest wedding moment? “When our priest had to (gently) remind Nate to repeat after him for the vows because Nate initially didn’t respond. When it was my turn, then, the priest kindly emphasized actually repeating after him. Our priest definitely had a sense of humor we could appreciate.”
5. What was your first dance song? “Ain’t That A Kick In the Head by Dean Martin. We had fun trying to fox trot to it!”
6. Where did you go on your honeymoon? “We went to Mackinac Island, and we stayed at an Inn on Main Street. We explored the island via bicycle, and we enjoyed great meals and desserts. Our favorite activity was a sunset boat cruise, which took us directly under the Mackinac Bridge. It was a peaceful and relaxing vacation after all of the wedding planning.”
7. What advice would you give to future brides? “Figure out, together, what the most important thing is for each of you with your wedding. It’s a celebration for the two of you, so the event you host should reflect both of you. From there, everything else (really) will fall into place. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help, both from your future spouse, family, friends, and especially industry experts. And when the big day arrives, relax, and enjoy every single moment! Between getting ready, vows, eating, and lots of photos, take a moment with your new spouse to just experience your wedding day and the first day of your marriage. It’s magical.”
