I wore a glittery champagne Nicole Milano dress with spaghetti straps and a full skirt, completely different from the ivory Bardot-style gown I’d always pictured. Charlotte at Charlotte Elizabeth Bridal saw I wasn’t clicking with anything I’d picked, so she pulled Keren as a wildcard. I burst into tears the moment I saw myself in it. I didn’t want a veil, so I found an Etsy seller who made the perfect intricate halo instead. My stepdad read Love Me When I’m Old during the ceremony. It really sums up our relationship. Cory said, “I felt full of nervous anticipation all day. Being apart from your number one person for 24 hours before the most important day of your life feels so strange. I’ve never been happier to see anyone than when she walked down that aisle. I squeezed her hand so hard I probably nearly broke it. I still can’t believe I get to keep her forever.” The ceremony felt so magical and emotional, it surprised me how much it moved me. A standout moment? Cory and one of his groomsmen doing a wild dance to song from Zorba the Greek, which Cory requested despite neither of us having any Greek roots! 30
