Real Brides: Allison

I met my husband Eric through a dating app (truly a modern love story). I knew I would marry him after our second date at a major league baseball game. You could say the pandemic accelerated our relationship - we bought a house in June 2020 and in September, Eric proposed in the backyard beneath a tree he carved our initials into with both our families there. We were married on November 13 at his family church. Our reception was at the Cleveland Zoo - complete with a carousel, barn owl and porcupine at cocktail hour. It was the most magical day and we couldn't have asked for it to go any more perfect. 

I was deciding between two wedding dresses, but when I put this one on for the second time I absolutely knew it was the one for me. I could feel it in my chest. The modern vibe but still a vintage feel thanks to the lace was perfect. I kept saying the train was my "Princess Diana" moment. It was comfortable all day and reflected my personality so well. I love it even more now looking at the photos from the day.
