Haley and Nicholas are the cutest high school sweethearts I’ve ever heard of! They met in Southern Indiana and continued attending college at Indiana University together. They’re living together in Indianapolis, and they’re happier than ever!
The trip that made it official was when Haley and Nicholas went hiking in Arizona for a week. It was such an insane week filled with hiking, swimming, and boating, followed by a romantic dinner in Vegas before their flight back to Indiana. Little did Haley know, Nicholas had been carrying her engagement ring with him the entire week and planned to propose during their dinner at the Eiffel Tower, a 5-course meal! When they brought out their dessert, Nicholas surprised Haley by proposing, which left her in shock.
It was a perfect proposal, and it’s so sweet that Nicholas was able to surprise Haley since she’s usually the planner and knows all of the surprises!
Haley and Nicholas’s wedding day was an absolute dream! They started the day right with the ladies getting their hair and makeup done while the men headed to a stunning barber shop in Jeffersonville, the perfect location to get ready and hang out. They then met at the Refinery in Jeffersonville, Indiana, where they had a private vows ceremony, which was just beautiful. They spent the day surrounded by their loved ones, capturing precious moments they’ll cherish forever. Haley even had a private first look with her dad, which was an emotional moment. Nicholas’s cousin officiated their ceremony, and it was so sweet. He read a poem that Nicholas used to ask Haley to be his girlfriend in 2015, and their mothers lit a candle to symbolize the union of their two families.
Afterward, there was a short cocktail hour outside in the courtyard, and then they were introduced to their reception in the south building of the Refinery. They were thrilled to be introduced first to see all their lovely friends get introduced. The reception was an unforgettable night filled with dancing and drinks. Haley could not have wished for a better night. They danced the night away until midnight, when they had their Cinderella exit and retreated to the Omni in Louisville, Kentucky, for the night.
Looking back, Haley is so grateful that their photographer captured their big day’s memorable moments, especially the private first look with her dad. It was one of the best moments of her life, and it brings her so much joy to relive it through photos and videos.
Oh my goodness, I must tell you about my incredible experience in May 2021! I visited Bridal & Formal when Randy from Say Yes to the Dress was there, and it was amazing! The workers were so attentive and friendly, and I even got to have a special moment with Randy and his dog. Can you believe it? I felt like a queen trying on all those gorgeous dresses, and let me tell you, there was not a bad gown in sight! My bridal stylist was beyond fabulous – she helped me find my perfect style without overwhelming me and even respected my budget! I can’t thank Bridal & Formal enough for making me feel special and beautiful. They indeed went above and beyond to give me an unforgettable experience.
