“Will and I first crossed paths in the summer of 2016, just before our senior year of high school. I spotted a photo of him at football camp on Twitter and instantly wanted to know more. Luckily, a mutual friend introduced us, and before long, we were on our first date. That summer was short but full of adventure. With college ahead of us, we went our separate ways, but we never really forgot each other. In 2019, fate brought us back together. From that point on, we knew this was different. As we graduated, started careers, and built a life side by side, our connection only grew stronger. Will has become my calm, my home, and my greatest joy. How did Will know I was the one? ‘From our very first date, I felt an instant connection with Carly. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, smart, and kind, and being around her was so easy. When we reconnected years later, I realized she was the person I wanted to spend forever with.’ While planning, I drew inspiration from the timeless elegance of Sofia Richie’s wedding and the intimate atmosphere of Alex Cooper’s. I envisioned a celebration that was both chic and personal. Like a candlelit dinner surrounded by our closest family and friends. Every decision was focused around ‘will this feel timeless years from now?’ I wanted our wedding to be classic so that no one could pinpoint the year it happened. Thanks to endless Pinterest boards, Vogue Weddings, spreads in Rocky Mountain Bride, and staying true to what felt authentic to us, we created a day that was everything to us.”
