Share your love story with us...

"My husband and I have known each other since pre-school. We grew up in the same town and went to the same school up until 8th grade. After spending an entire school year apart, we realized how much we liked spending time together and started our relationship sophomore year of high school. We dated all throughout high school and college and got engaged our second to last year of college. He has been my partner to every homecoming, prom, every one of my soccer games, and every big family event. He was the boyfriend to surprise me at my high school with lunch and flowers. He was the boyfriend to bring Starbucks not only for myself but also for my mom and my sister. He has always been supportive of my dreams to be a social worker and has always worked hard to make our wedding so beautiful. He has been my partner in everything I did for the last six and a half years, it only made sense that he become my legal partner for the rest of my life."

Why did you choose ELIA as your wedding dress?

"I came in to bridal salon in the hopes that I would find my dream dress. My husband and I have been dating since high school and I wanted something very different than every prom dress he has seen before. With my family members by my side, we searched for that unique-but-suited-to-my-style dress. After several dresses that I didn't think were THE dress, my dress consultant pulled out ELIA, and immediately my family members and I had misty eyes. I felt beautiful and confident and was ready to get married to the man of my dreams."
