Rachel & Brady || The Grand Ballroom

The Wedding of Rachel & Brady

Oh my gosh, Rachel and Brady’s wedding was absolutely amazing! Their vendors were so great, and everything went off without a hitch. It was seriously a dream come true. Rachel and her bridesmaids started the day with some mimosas at the Marriott Hotel and then headed to GRC Park in Covington for their first look. They took some seriously gorgeous pictures throughout the park and then went to the church for a traditional Catholic service. From there, they moved to the Grand Ballroom, where they had their first dance as a married couple. During dinner, Rachel’s dad gave the sweetest speech. Then, the father-daughter and mother-son dances had everyone in tears. Finally, Rachel and Brady cut the cake and did the anniversary dance with all the married couples. It was such a whirlwind of a day, but it was incredible.

The Proposal of Rachel & Brady

Rachel and Brady first met while attending Northern Kentucky University. Brady was a fraternity member, and Rachel was part of a sorority. During his fraternity’s annual powderpuff tournament, Rachel’s sorority always fielded a team. In her sophomore year, Brady’s friends convinced him to sign up as a coach for a team. Brady and a few of his friends signed up to coach Rachel’s team because one of his friends was dating Rachel’s friend in her sorority. And that’s how they met at Powderpuff practice!
After almost three years of dating, Brady proposed to Rachel. It was a special occasion because Rachel had just graduated college, and Brady was graduating from the police academy. To celebrate Brady’s graduation, his family and Rachel decided to surprise him with a party at Deadlow Brewery. Little did Rachel know, Brady had planned to use the party as a surprise engagement party. He proposed to her in front of all their family and friends, making the occasion even more special.

Rachel’s Bridal & Formal

Experience

Oh, my gosh! I had the most fantastic experience at Bridal & Formal! We only went to one dress shop, and wouldn’t you know it, I fell in love with the second dress I tried on! Everyone there was so incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience! They made everything effortless for me and allowed me to focus solely on finding my dream dress.
My stylist, Lacrecia, was absolutely fantastic and so supportive! She was incredibly kind and allowed me to concentrate on finding the perfect dress. Lacrecia always considered my opinion and helped me talk through my choices! I couldn’t have done it without her!
