On a beautiful day in early October, soulmates Sandy & Mariel tied the knot in a stunning ceremony. We can’t get enough of the images from their intimate fall wedding, and we know you’ll love them, too. Keep reading to learn more about their love story, and see more details from the big day!
“Sandy felt familiar as if I knew her before. Right away I felt comfortable and at peace being in her presence. Also, we had similar stories, interests, morals and so much more, so it was very easy talking to her. And finally, she chose and loves me for who I am and has always fought for what we have. She’s my best friend.” – Mariel
“I loved the detachable, off-the-shoulder straps offered by David’s Bridal. It really elevated my ceremony look and made me feel like a princess. I loved that I was able to remove them so I could dance the night away during the reception!” – Sandy
“We did the first touch and I lost it. I couldn’t stop crying. I tried to pull it together but as I was walking down the aisle I saw Mariel was also crying and it took everything not to start sobbing. She just looked so beautiful and I couldn’t believe that all the people we love most traveled to come to witness our union. It was so emotional and definitely the most memorable moment of the wedding.” – Sandy
“The best advice I have is to start now! Even if you think it’s too early, trust me it’s not. Time is deceiving when planning such a momentous event. I thought I had all the time in the world but I was literally cutting out the menu cards the morning of the wedding. ” – Sandy
“We had a vegan vanilla cake with a raspberry filling and white chocolate buttercream. It was so delicious and I fondly remember some guests shoveling forkfuls of cake while everyone was supposed to be lining up for the sparkler exit! Mariel actually doesn’t like cake so we also had a donut tower and it was a big hit. Definitely recommend donuts at a wedding!” – Sandy
