What was the most memorable moment of your day?

Bride: Saying our vows and then signing the marriage license as “Mrs. Powell.”

Groom: Our first look and being introduced as “Mr. and Mrs. Powell” for the first time.

Any advice for future bride/grooms?

Bride: Give yourself one day between your wedding and your honeymoon, but don’t wait a long time to take one! I am so glad we went right away. It’s so special to have that complete one on one time with your new spouse right after all of the excitement of your wedding day.

Groom: The day goes so fast—be sure to take lots of “mental photos” throughout the day.

Funniest memory from your wedding day?

Bride: Watching our guests do the “Hat Dance.” J

Groom: When the “Man of Honor” announced during the middle of dinner, “I am completely single.” lol

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?

Bride: I wish I would have been able to chat with everyone that came. I realized afterward there were so many people I didn’t have a chance to catch up with :/

Groom: Nope. It was perfect!

Where did you (or will you) go on your honeymoon?

We just got back from the Excellence Resort in Cancun and had an AmAzInG time!!
