Keristin met Ryan on her first day of work at a new job. She saw him from across the lunchroom and felt such an immediate connection that she thought they had met before! Keristin pursued Ryan right away, and they started dating shortly after. Two years later, Ryan surprised Keristin with a romantic proposal in Central Park while on a trip to New York City.
The couple’s wedding day was full of so many perfect moments, it was hard to choose a favourite. “One of our favourite moments was the first look that our photographer suggested we do,” says the bride. “Ryan and I were able to share a special, intimate moment between the two of us that really allowed us to appreciate the beauty and importance of our wedding day and the festivities that we were about to share with each other and our closest family and friends.”
One of the couple’s favourite wedding details definitely included their flowers and floral decor. “When our talented florist delivered the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to my suite in the morning, I was speechless,” says Keristin. “They were exactly what I had envisioned, and complimented the wedding day look perfectly.” In addition, the couple’s band was another favourite detail. “They kept the energy high and the party going all night.”
