Real Brides: Jesse

I met my husband at a rock climbing gym in Colorado Springs. We hit it off pretty quickly, and he soon went from being just the “cute rock climber guy at the gym” to my absolute best friend — the person I did everything with. We’re very adventurous and fell in love while climbing exposed ridge lines, backpacking to beautiful places, and cowboy camping on mountaintops.

I knew this dress was “the one” because I had always imagined myself in a more classic gown, but with a unique detail or two. This dress was the second one I tried on, and I instantly fell in love with the shoulder veils — they were so unique and fun! I had never seen anything like them before. I walked out of that dressing room with a huge smile on my face and felt so beautiful in it. I can’t imagine having chosen any other dress, and my husband absolutely loved it on our wedding day!
