Wedding of the Week: Amber & Rick
Amber & Rick
10.29.2017
Amber and Rick met on an online dating site. Amber couldn’t believe she didn’t scare Rick away when she told him she was going to marry him on their third date! Third time’s a charm ;)! They have been planning fun activities ever since!
The Proposal Night in Amber’s words: Oh wow, well I thought I was going to die the night we got engaged! Like most girls, I was planning how he would ask every weekend depending on what we were doing that day. After two years of failed guesses, it came down to our favorite activity, the Rolex 24 race in Daytona (no we are not really racing fans but it’s a really neat event). I was sure Rick was going to ask during the fireworks and even asked him if we should walk to the top of the stadium to be alone. Well, you guessed it I was wrong again! I was talking myself down on our way back to the car when I noticed a crazy guy in the parking lot. I jumped in the car, (it was freezing by the way), and left poor Rick to be cut up into little pieces by this guy. Just then my car door opened and I thought it was my turn to get it by the crazy guy, but to my surprise, it was Rick on one knee. It may not have been exactly what I planned but was happy to know he would be mine forever and that neither one of us got chopped up into pieces!
We were able to ask the couple some questions about their wedding planning and the big day!
Q: What were you inspired by while planning your wedding? (Theme, Color Combinations, Places?)
A: “A Fairy fairytale happily ever after.”Q: What were some of your favorite wedding day details/memories?
A: “Seeing each other for the first time, our wedding dance and hearing our families speeches.”
Q: Did you have any D.I.Y. (aka Do It Yourself) details?
A: “We designed our invitations, our table numbers with Disney love quotes and painted mason jars. It was so fun!”Q: What advice would you give to future couples planning their wedding?
A: “Make your wedding YOU… No matter how unique or crazy it is!”Q:Is there anything else you’d like to share about your big day?
A: “Our photographers were so amazing and the staff at Classic Photographers were wonderful! (Not a plug but I’m so serious)”
