Intimate in-home Jewish Zoom wedding in Tarpon Springs, Florida
WEDDING DATE July 11, 2020. We postponed our wedding three times and decided, “Let’s just do it next weekend!” because we were tired of waiting!
THE PROPOSAL I was so not surprised at all! We were on a family vacation in Colorado and Nick hid the ring in the backpack that we were sharing, so obviously when looking for my sweater I found the ring box. I had gotten extremely sick from the altitude and Nick convinced me to go on this romantic sleigh ride through the mountains despite being extremely ill. It was the most beautiful scenery and Nick kept asking the sleigh driver where the prettiest place to stop was and kept digging through his backpack. As we took a photo in front of the mountains he got down on one knee and proposed to me. I obviously said yes! He was so nervous he asked me if I was sure! It was so funny we both laughed! The next day we went back to the spot we got engaged and cross country skied. What a blessing to experience that more than once.
WEDDING PLANNING MANTRA My amazing mother planned the entire original large wedding! When we decided to plan this small wedding in only a week we didn't do much planning but amazingly everything fell together. I think my mantra was just to have faith that it will all come together and all that matters is being with the person I love.
FAVORITE MOMENT Favorite moments of the day were walking down the stairs and everyone (including myself) immediately started crying and when Nick and I read our vows. It was the most powerful and magical feeling I have ever experienced. I had no idea it would feel so amazing. Nick said his favorite part of the day was watching me walk down the stairs and exchanging vows.
THE DRESS I tried on an endless amount of dresses I had my amazing family and friends with me and fell in love with this one! It was perfect I didn't even need alterations. Although 10 minutes after buying it I had a melt down and thought I bought the wrong one and that I didn't like it. I had to go back to the shop and try it on two more times before I realized I didn't make a mistake haha
BEST ADVICE Keep it small and look at venues that are all-inclusive!
WORDS THAT DESCRIBE OUR DAY Pure bliss!

SHE SAYS … Nick is the most kind, fun, generous, and loving husband I could ever ask for. He is my best friend and partner in everything I do.
