We wanted a small wedding party. Alex and I are both only-children, so we picked our dearest friends. For the groomsmen, we told them to wear navy suits, and we bought them matching ties from Brooks Brothers as gifts. I really wanted to be a low-key bride, so I told my bridesmaids they didn't have to buy dresses. My original plan was for them to wear black cocktail dresses of their choice. Over the next few weeks I'd get occasional emails from them with links to dresses they liked with the message: "In case you think you might like us to get dresses, we like these." In the end, my bridesmaids picked the designer (Jenny Yoo), and I picked the fabric, color and length. But they picked their own dress style, so hopefully I still count as easy-going.
Elizabeth + Alex's Love Story
Ours is a modern love story. Alex and I met through OkCupid about a month after he'd moved to Atlanta. We actually lived a block away from each other, but we most likely would not have met otherwise! It only took us four months to know we wanted to spend our lives together, but we waited 7 so our parents wouldn't think we were nuts.
I really loved every moment of our wedding, and I remember it very well. I felt very warm and blessed to be surrounded by so much love. Alex says his favorite moment of the day was our first kiss as husband and wife, so there you have it."
After the wedding, Elizabeth and Alex spent nine days in Europe and visited Prague, Vienna and Budapest for their honeymoon. :) Thanks so much to E+A for sharing their beautiful day and to Patricia Kantzos for sharing her always stunning photos! xx.
