Real Brides: Marissa

Matt proposed at Pebble Beach with stunning views of Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge behind us. He surprised me with a heartfelt speech and a photographer who captured it all. Later we went to brunch at a restaurant in our neighborhood, and he had another surprise...our closest family and friends were there to celebrate with us!  

Long before the proposal, I knew I would wear a Moonlight Bridal gown on my wedding day. My aunt has a small bridal boutique, and I have admired Moonlight Bridal's dresses for years. My dress was hand picked by my Aunt, however, she waited to show it to me until I tried several other dresses first. There was no question…this dress was the one! She saved the best for last. We were even able to customize the details, choosing ivory over ivory and nude meshing. It is stunning!
