We are a more traditional couple and we made sure to stay true to our moral values. We wanted to be married under God and in front of all our loved ones. We wanted the traditional walking down the aisle, first dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, cake cutting, and sparkler sendoff. Behind Laura’s back, I had family and friends write letters to Laura and had them waiting for her in a box for her to read while she got ready. I also had a new pair of socks with a notebook that says, “In case you get cold feet.” She loved it! —Ada, one half of the couple
