2025  A l a s k a B r i d e & G r o o m  3 5 the detailsFunniest moment: During the reception, after the couple had changed into more comfortable outfits, the DJ reintroduced the two to raucous applause and numerous compliments. After the unveiling, David took a bit of a fall on the dance floor and as he was falling, he reached out to grab anything to maintain his balance and he accidentally ripped a large piece of Megan’s dress. “Luckily, our amazing florist, Brittany, is a close friend and a talented seamstress, and she was able to save the day and the dress thanks to a mini sewing kit. Needless to say, Dave was very relieved, but still hasn’t lived it down.” Three words that best describe their day: “Heartfelt, joyous, unforgettable.”If they had the chance to do it again, what they would do differently:“There’s really not much we would change!” The storm on the East Coast resulted in canceled flights for some of the guests and that was disappointing, “but there are always going to be things out of your control. We felt so much love near and far, and genuinely had an amazing day thanks to an incredible team of vendors and our wonderful loved ones.”Best advice for a couple planning their wedding: “Our guiding principle throughout the planning process was to ensure the event was a reflection of ourselves as individuals and as a couple. Whether it was songs we wanted to be played, or ‘traditional’ wedding tropes we decided to avoid – we made it our day. While we understand weddings are special and important days for so many people close to the bride and groom, we’d advise couples not to lose sight of the fact that at the core, this is a day celebrating their unique love story and union. It’s ok to be a bit selfish and make the wedding their day!”Photography: Zoya Dawn Photography • Videography: Josh Vassar • Ceremony & reception site: Alyeska Resort • Rehearsal dinner: Raven Glacier Lodge • Cake: Sevelo Sweets • Wedding planner: Tara Nokelby, Peak Planning •Day-of coordinator: Dani, Brindle Events • Flowers: Brittany Harding, True North Events • Bride’s dresses: Rachel Rose gown (ceremony); Watters mini dress (reception) • Bridesmaids’ dresses: Champagne hue dresses chosen by the bridesmaids • Groom’s formal wear: Suitsupply • Hair: Cassandra Thompson, The Beauty Room • Makeup:Kierra Manion • Officiant: Brian Busch (Groom’s brother-in-Law) • Entertainment & music: DJ KDean • Party supplies & rentals: Logistics LLC • Arbor: Touch of Saige Events• Stationery: Evergreen Summer • Motorcoach transportation: John Hall’s Alaska • Accommodations: Alyeska Resort; Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge • Honeymoon destination: Tenerife, Canary Islands
