Monica and Max's Romantic Wedding at The Inn on Boltwood
Ryan Williams
How did you two meet? We met at Colby College in 2011
How did they pop the question? On a mountain top while we were on vacation in New Zealand.
What was your favorite moment(s) from the wedding? - The whole ceremony especially our vows - Our first dance - Seeing everyone we love in one place - When the band came out onto the dancefloor
How long have you been together? Nine years this December
How would you describe your overall wedding experience? The perfect day.......exactly what we wanted. We could have done without the rain though =)
What advice would you offer to other couples planning a wedding? Be in the moment and remember no one will notice the little details. People told us that, but we still worried AND no one noticed.
What photography-related advice would you offer to a couple? - be prepared to smile a lot - have a day of planner/friend to keep everyone in line during formal photos
Tell us about your dress! Where did you find it, how did you choose it, how did you know it was the one? I found it at Davids Bridal. I knew it was the one because I felt like myself in it and I could see Max smiling looking at me.
Did you see each other before the wedding? If not, did you like waiting or would you have rather done it differently? Tell us why or why not! We saw eachother before. Would definitely recommend doing a first look to any couple. It was a nice way to get the nerves out of the way and it allowed us to have fun later in the day!
Any tips on what to bring? Don't bring your phone - you won't need it.
What was the first song you danced to as husband and wife? Father-daughter dance? Mother-son dance? first dance: Grow as you grow Benn Platt father daughter: my wish by rascal flatts mother son: wildflowers by tom petty
What kind of food was served at your reception? filet mignon, chicken and salmon
What were you most anxious/nervous/fearful about regarding your wedding day? What was the outcome? Definitely the vows....a lot of pressure! the weather....but we lucked out
