Avagrace— “The first time we saw each other, all I could do was smile and cry. I could not believe that all of our hard work had finally paid off. When he saw me for the first time, I expected him to cry, but the way he looked at me and and never-ending smile was absolutely perfect”

(Groom) Describe your wife on your wedding day.

Braden— “My wife has always been beautiful to me, but there is something special about a wedding dress and the intimacy behind it. Her dress was a complete surprise to me.

Were there any rituals, traditions, or sentiments that were part of your wedding? If so, can you tell us about them?

We had all of our family Leigh hands on us and pray for us during our ceremony. It was such a special and intimate moment and we could feel the Holy Spirit moving.

The top five moments of our wedding day were saying I do, nailing our dip when we walked back up the aisle, our first dance, seeing all of our family and friends, and our sparkler exit

Were there any moments that made you cry?

Avagrace— “I cried all day long. I cried during our first touch, The first look with my dad, walking him aisle, and during me and my dad’s first dance.

Braden— “I actually did not cry at all. I thought I would’ve cried when Ava walked down the aisle, but all I could do was smile from ear to ear.”

Most weddings never go quite as planned. Was there a blooper or “oops” moment at your wedding?

To my surprise, there were absolutely no oops on our wedding day. I tried to meticulously plan everything out to avoid having oops.

Is there a story to the song you picked for your first dance?

Avagrace— “As the bride, I had planned the entire wedding and I asked Braden to pick out our first dance song. He said he was driving down the road and heard the song “there’s the sun” and he said it just felt right in his heart.

What was your best memory from your wedding day?

My best memory from the day was our first dance. We did our first dance on the balcony and getting to look into each other’s eyes and have a moment to ourselves was absolutely amazing!
