The most memorable part of your wedding: The whole weekend was memorable, but we think the most memorable would have to be the time spent with family and friends. There will never be another moment where both sides would meet to celebrate such a great event.

Did you do anything unique, crazy or fun: The unique thing that we did was having two separate ceremonies and two separate receptions all in one weekend! That’s unique, crazy, and so much fun!

What was the most difficult part about planning your wedding: Planning two weddings.

Any words of wisdom to the couple planning their wedding: 1) Figure out how to work as a team in the early stages of planning; 2) Download the Knot app! It is a great way to set some deadlines when you do not know when certain things should be done; 3) Do not underestimate planning ahead! Get the big things done early.
