The Meet Cute : The two met at kickboxing , where Amber made quite an impression on newbie Morgan . “ I remember the door swinging open with such force and a woman with red and blonde hair walking in and yelling , ‘ HELLOOO ,’” Morgan recalls , adding that she was instantly attracted . It was also love at first sight for Amber , who bided her time before making the first move six months later .
The Engagement : Amber proposed first , popping the question on a beach in Provincetown , Massachusetts . Morgan says she knew something was up when Amber appeared nervous before the big moment . After the proposal , the couple did a mini rainbow powder photo shoot that turned into a powder fight . Morgan got her turn to propose a few months later when the pair visited Beavertail State Park in Jamestown . They enjoy scratch tickets , so Morgan had a special one made for Amber with the big question hidden inside . When Amber scratched off the message , Morgan was waiting behind her on one knee .
The Venue : They toured venues during the pandemic , and both brides loved the look of Waterman Grille . A few weeks later , while having dinner at the Providence restaurant , the manager came over to greet them and offer a free dessert . They knew it would be the perfect spot to exchange vows and celebrate their love . “ It is always intimate , and the food is exceptional ,” Morgan says .
The Theme : “ We wanted our decor to be all white , including the florals , as a way to make our rainbows pop ,” says Morgan . “ Rainbows have always been something we both love , and we look at it as an expression of Pride , acceptance and fun .” The theme continued after dinner , when the brides celebrated with a cupcake toast . The guests enjoyed biting into the treats to find — surprise ! — more rainbows .

M . STUDIOS @ MSTUDIOSRI
The Highlights : From a first look at the LOOM Hotel , Tapestry Collection by Hilton ( formerly the NYLO Providence Warwick Hotel ), to a rainbow powder send-off , every detail of the day was meticulously planned . The brides had custom cigars made to share with their guests , and Amber honored her mother ’ s memory by placing her ashes in her bouquet so she could be with her on her special day . The couple ’ s guests also had a few surprises in store for them . Their officiant arrived decked out in a rainbow sequin-lined jacket , and Amber and Morgan ’ s football team wore shoes that literally lit up the dance floor .
The Advice : Amber recommends making sure you and your guests are present on the big day , even if it means taking a break from your phone . Your photographers will capture the magic , and Morgan says their experience with M . Studios could not have been better . Also , “ Invite people who only want the best for you and truly want to celebrate you ,” Morgan adds . “ Not everyone is as lucky as we are to have such incredible family and friends .”
