HOW DID YOU MEET?: We met in Beverly Hills,CA when we worked for the same marketing firm as designers. We started dating at work and went to some really ridiculous extremes to keep it a secret.
HOW DID HE PROPOSE? I was sleeping in a bit and Jake came in to talk to me. For a while i was too sleepy to really pay attention but the conversation got pretty serious when he started asking me if I really felt we had what it takes to stay together and make good choices together and withstand the hard times. He asked me how i felt about everything between us and I told him that i truly believed we’d found something special and unique with each other. He nodded and turned over and pulled a box from the nightstand. (it’d been there ALL ALONG!) We both got emotional and he said he was sorry he wasn’t proposing in some crazy way but that this felt like the perfect moment in which were being honest with each other. I agreed and thanked him over and over for making it just right. then i finally opened the box and put the ring on!
WEDDING THEME:There was no real theme. I just wanted something timeless and simple.

THE BRIDE WORE:Dress and shoes from David’s Bridal

Something else you would like to add/share about your wedding planning or wedding day:It’s definitely possible to plan a whole wedding in a month,go with your gut instinct,invite who YOU want,make sure the food’s good,it’s your day –don’t worry about ANYTHING!
Advice you would like to give to the feature brides and grooms:No matter what you think it will be,it will most likely be different,but good. Do the dishes for each other because that matters and don’t forget to always laugh,especially at yourself.
