Even though Rob and I did a first look, the moment I saw him at the end of the aisle surrounded by all of our friends and family, it truly felt like my wedding day! ![12801466_10156731700900015_5446745513559780170_n](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12801466_10156731700900015_5446745513559780170_n-1.png) ![12439171_10156731701030015_7684475743584639696_n](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12439171_10156731701030015_7684475743584639696_n-1.png) **If you could relive your day again, what would you do differently?** Absolutely nothing! I loved having a later wedding because I had the whole day and never felt rushed! I also loved having my hair and makeup team come directly to the hotel so I didn’t have to worry about running all over town. ![12932744_10156731699755015_1825205341866367789_n](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12932744_10156731699755015_1825205341866367789_n-1.png) ![12931297_10156731693170015_4650937922972580872_n](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12931297_10156731693170015_4650937922972580872_n-1.png) ![12417868_10156731700220015_1378524820855475475_n](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12417868_10156731700220015_1378524820855475475_n-1.png) {What a stunning bouquet!} ![12890953_10156731700245015_5162741907597010720_o](https://the-white-dress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12890953_10156731700245015_5162741907597010720_o-1.png) **What advice would you give  to future brides?** ASK FOR HELP!
