Matt and I have been dating since 2008 and he popped the question on our spring trip to San Francisco. We're pretty outdoorsy, so on a hike we stopped on a cliff overlooking the San Franscio Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. We were chatting about how wonderful the trip had been (this was at the end of it) he said he could think of one thing that would make it more memorable. Completely to my surprise, he then got down on one knee and with that gorgeous backdrop asked me to marry him. (I'm getting all giddy again just writing this to you!) In keeping with our loves of travel and the outdoors, we've decided to a destination wedding to Puerto Vallarta with the wedding day falling on April 1 (no joke!). We're going to a small all-inclusive resort called Playa Fiesta. We've been to a wedding there before and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone planning a destination wedding. We will have about 60 of our family and friends there along with the pastor from the church I grew up in performing a traditional ceremony. Destination weddings are the way to go! We hardly have to do any planning and so far the most "stressful" part has been picking the green color of my shoes (from The Wedding Shoppe!) to match our invitation. Bright apple/lime green and aqua are the main colors we're using.

Never in my life, did I ever imagine that I would be so blessed to have such an incredible wedding. Long ago, like many other little girls, I would put a pillow case veil on my head, or walk my barbie down a pretend aisle and envision my perfect fairytale wedding. After meeting Scott, the handsome and affectionate love of my life, those hopes and dreams finally become a reality as we began to plan our wedding day. As amazing as it was, all of the dreaming could never come close to the incredible wedding we had on August 28, 2010. Everything was perfect. From the dress, to the flowers, the invitations and the location. It was without a doubt, the best day of my life. Looking back, the thing that made it so perfect, so incredible, wasn't the dress, or the flowers, or anything else related. Our wedding was perfect because of the people that shared it with us. Our family and friends, were the one thing that made it better than anything I could ever have dreamed of. I am so grateful to all the people who played a part in making our wedding so truly perfect. Dress: I went to The Wedding Shoppe just a few days after getting engaged to try on dresses for fun with absolutely no intention of choosing anything. I fell in love with the fifth dress I tried on and just like everyone says, I knew it was the one. Veil: Since my dress was on the more simple side, I wanted a veil that added some drama and sparkle. I found a cathedral length veil with rhinestone trim at the wedding shoppe. It also had a blusher, which I didn't love, so the wedding shoppe removed it and added a comb to make a second veil. My mom then added rhinestone trim to the edges and I wore it as a shorter version of the Cathedral length veil for the reception. Headpiece: I loved all the big floral headpieces I would see but couldn't seem to find one that matched my dress. The wedding shoppe took fabric from my hemmed dress and made a custom flower with a vintage rhinestone center. It was absolutely perfect Location: The Union Depot, St Paul Minnesota. We absolutely loved the Union Depot. It was classic and elegant, and the food was incredible. The wedding coordinator Georgia was amazing to work with and made everything so easy for us. Favors: My favorite beverage has always been Diet Coke and a few years ago, Scott, my husband got a job with Coca-Cola. For our place cards we attached names to old fashioned bottles of diet coke with a story about our love for Coke on the back! It was so fun. Flowers: I wanted lots of color, and Carra Otten, of Le Petit Fleur did an AMAZING job. She was so easy to work with and had incredible ideas and style. Photography: Erin Johnson Photography. We had so much fun working with Erin! She has such great ideas and moves at record pace. The photos she took are incredible and we are so happy we went with her! Videographer: Jeffrey Fuchs | Northern Lights Video. We weren't sure if we were going to hire a videographer, but I am so glad we did. Jeff was very easy to work with and very professional, we hardly even noticed he was there the day of our wedding. His work is amazing and he was able to capture so much emotion from the day of our wedding. We loved him!
