BRIDAL SAVOIR FAIRE true love stories

rent and Madina met at the lake in Hot Springs. The story of how they met flows like a script from one of the most lovely fairytales one has ever had the pleasure to read. Madina was boating with friends when Brent swam right up to her. His first words to her were, "Are you real?" Neither of them had a phone, so they had to memorize each other's phone number. From that moment forward, they were a fantasy come to life. There was an instant connection between them. Friends and family instantly noticed their complete willingness to be vulnerabie with one another so early in their relationship. It was love at its best; communication, trust, inspiration, and admiration for each other.

Brent proposed to Madina in Costa Rica. They were married three months later in Granbury, Texas, where Brent's family resides. It was nothing short of magical: a horse-drawn carriage for the bride and a beautiful sunset ceremony with close

friends and family. Madina and Brent played songs together in a cozy lounge before their nuptials. They danced on the beautiful night of their fairytale wedding.

Madina's Advice for Brides-to-be:

“Establish your vision; then involve as many people that love you and the man you will spend forever with, wholeheartedly. There is something so majestic about seeing your vision brought to life through the eyes, hands, and talents of others who share a heart with the two of you. It will reflect the way they view you and love you. Then you will celebrate this love together.”
