We asked the mothers of two soon-to-wed staffers for advice on love, life, and dressing for the occasion. Best marriage advice:
Marry someone whose qualities complement yours, rather than mirror them. And marry someone who can fix things if you can't!
your wedding style in 3 words:
Fitted, flowy, sparkle.
Favorite love song:
"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. It's about love lasting past youth, and the lyrics are beautiful.
"You can never have too much sparkle!"
–Jacqui, mother of the bride-to-be
Memorable pre-wedding moment:
Dress shopping—we have different styles, but finding one that we both loved was really special.
Best song for dancing:
"Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon. The lyrics say it all.
What I admire most about Mom:
She truly does it all! She is a nurse, mom to four humans and two puppies, wife, wedding planner, chauffeur, travel agent, chef, and our own personal search engine. She always finds a way to get it done, whatever "it" is!
Dawn | Mom
Beautiful means:
Just the right amount of glitz and makeup so I look natural with a touch of glam.
30 years ago:
What I remember most about my wedding day is the walk down the aisle, and seeing my soon-to-be husband waiting for me at the end. He looked so happy, and that instantly calmed my nerves.
Best marriage advice:
Rise above the inevitable setbacks and stress to bring out the very best in one another. Kelsey | Daughter & DB Buyer
Memorable pre-wedding moment:
We've done all of the planning together and are having so much fun. Right after I got engaged, my mom pulled her old wedding dress out of the attic for me to try on—long puffy sleeves and all! We had a good time laughing at how ridiculous it looked.
Your wedding style in 3 words:
Modern, dramatic, elegant.
What I admire most about Mom:
She's everything I aspire to be in a mom and a woman. She has unlimited positive energy and always manages to find time for fun, even in the midst of working full-time and taking care of her family.
