Where did you meet? Of all places, we met at the World’s Largest Disco, http://www.theworldlargestdisco.com in 2019 when we bumped into each other and our mutual friend introduced us! After spending the rest of the night dancing and chatting, we were pretty inseparable from then on — and we haven’t missed a Disco since!
John proposed to me on June 30, 2023 underneath the bridge at Delaware Park. My parents were in town from Texas and we were going to meet them and John’s parents at the Terrace for dinner but went to the park early to catch up with his sister beforehand, little did I know it was all a trick to get me there! We walked to the bridge and he got down on one knee under the bridge, unbeknownst to me, both of our parents were standing on top of the bridge and watched the whole thing and his sister was there in the bushes taking pictures of the proposal. One of the best days ever!
Admiral Room weddings
The night of our engagement, John had told a few friends to meet us on the rooftop of the Curtiss Hotel for drinks after we finished up with dinner, so we celebrated with our closest friends the night of! Since we got engaged the weekend before the 4th of July, John’s whole family threw us a huge engagement party on July 3rd filled with some of our favorite things: family, cornhole, and sparklers at the end of the night!
wedding ceremony Admiral Room
For our ceremony at The Admiral Room, we really wanted it to be personal. We wrote all of our own vows to exchange to each other during the ceremony, and John’s cousin married us because she’s known us throughout our relationship so everything was special and nothing was typical. Since we met at the Disco and love music and dancing, we based a lot of our reception off of that — disco vibes! We told our band, Big City Horns, http://www.bigcityhorns.com to kick off the music with “Dancing Queen” to get the vibes going from the start, and we really danced the night away with our friends and family! We never left the dance floor!
wedding reception
From before we even got engaged, I knew there was really only one place I wanted to get married. Every inch of the Admiral Roomhttp://www.admiralroom.com is so stunning and I loved looking at the different pictures on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/admiral_roomto see how everyone makes the space so unique and their own, and I feel like we did that too with where we positioned the dance floor and our tables. Friends and family still talk about how gorgeous the venue was!
party reception wedding
We spent a lot of time picking out our first dance song; we wanted it to be special but also feel like us, so for the entire summer before our wedding, every time we’d take our dog on a walk, we would listen to a few different songs that we were choosing between. We ultimately picked Precious Love by James Morrison because we loved that it was upbeat and we loved the lyrics. My first dance with my dad was Tiny Dancer by Elton John because it was always one of our favorite songs. John and his mom picked Somewhere Over The Rainbow because she used to sing that to him every night when she rocked him to sleep.
After we spent the whole morning apart while we were getting ready, I loved that we did a first look and took photos before the ceremony so we got to spend so much time together on our wedding day. Our ceremony was so beautiful and I loved every second of it, but easily the best part of our wedding day was the reception!! The Admiral Room made it so incredibly seamless and transformed the most beautiful room into the biggest and best party we’ve ever thrown!
