To celebrate in a way that felt authentic, and true to who we are as a couple and for our guests to see &lsquo;Simone &amp; Drew&rsquo; in every detail. We wanted our guests to feel like they were not just attending a wedding, but to have an experience so we focused our attention on food and entertainment. Life becomes more meaningful when you realize you never have the same moment twice. Our wedding day was one of those perfect moments that will forever remain frozen in time and in our hearts.

A few months before the wedding, Drew and I had asked our parents to walk us both down the aisle, to honour and thank them for raising us and loving us. I was privileged to start my walk down the aisle with my stepdad and mom, to meet my dad halfway, to have my two dads exchange hugs with tears in all our eyes, and to walk the rest of the way down the aisle with my mom and my dad. I will always treasure the feeling of walking toward the love of my life, my husband to be, with tears in his eyes.

Also, don&rsquo;t forget to date your fianc&eacute; now that you are engaged. Set aside time to talk about the wedding but make sure you spend just as much time talking about how you want your marriage to look.
