Real Brides: Mikelle

Peter actually met my parents first, on the golf course. He was added to their tee time, and they totally hit it off. By the 8th hole, my mom couldn't help herself and she asked if he had a girlfriend. She then proceeded to take his picture because she didn't think I’d believe her when she told me she was hot, lol, and gave him my number. He reached out that evening, and we went on our first date. My mom failed to tell him I was planning to move to Hawaii in a month. After going on 19 more dates that month, I moved. One month later, he followed me out there. We spent 3 months in Hawaii and then came back to Colorado and bought a house. On our 2-year dating anniversary, he proposed. 

They say don’t go into dress shopping with a specific dress type in mind... but I did anyway. After trying on a handful of 'sexy whimsical dresses,' I realized that I should try one that was more 'me.' This was the first form-fitting dress I tried on, and I was hooked! I loved the way the unique back accentuated the booty and felt like the front had a beautiful, timeless, classy, yet sexy look.
