First off, congrats! What is your most memorable moment from the wedding?
Our first dance. It was a very special moment filled with so much joy!
What were the colors of your wedding?
Very neutral with shades of greens and whites.
What do you think worked really well at your wedding that you would recommend every couple to do?
Have a private first look! Ryan and I decided we wanted ten minutes to ourselves. We did this by having our first look on the balcony of our hotel room. This gave us a moment to read our vows, see each other, and take a breath before we walked down the aisle!
Would you have done anything differently—splurge on a pricier dress, nix the favors, go for that extra passed appetizer?
I would have remembered to pack my veil! We forgot it and that is my only regret about our wedding day. Everything else was perfect!
What tips do you have for other Joy couples still in the midst of wedding planning?
Take a break from wedding planning from time to time, enjoy things you both love to do together outside of wedding planning!
What were your favorite features of Joy?
I like that our guests could download Joy, as an app. This helped them with any questions that they may have had!
At Joy we believe that although a wedding lasts one day, joy lasts forever. What does that mean to you and your partner?
The love Ryan and I have for each other is much bigger than just our wedding day. We look back almost two months later and smile- but the joy of being husband and wife lasts a lifetime. We are so happy to finally be Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Huizar!
