In addition to being the most fun party you'll ever have, your wedding is an incredible moment to pay tribute to you, your spouse-to-be, and all of the most important people in your life. Molly and Adam's wedding is the perfect example of how you can incorporate everyone you love into your big day. One sweet moment to note: Molly's dad and step-dad both played a special role in her wedding. Molly's father walked her down the aisle, while her step-father officiated the ceremony.

The Love Story
How did you meet?
We met on Hinge, the dating app.
Tell us how the proposal happened.
The proposal happened in Venice, Italy. We booked a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the Grand Canal. The story goes that Adam freaked out and didn't get down on one knee while we were out on the balcony one evening, like he planned. We then went out for a wonderful dinner and strolled through the quiet, empty streets of Venice back home to our hotel (also a very romantic and perfect opportunity to get down on one knee—he was still freaking out). Adam planned to have the room decorated when we got back, since we should have already been engaged. So, I opened our room door and to my total surprise, there were hundreds of rose petals on the floor as well as champagne. When I turned around, he was down on one knee in the hotel hallway. [It was] maybe not exactly the proposal he planned, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
The Wedding
Where did you get your engagement ring?
Tell us about something that was creative or unique to your wedding.
My parents were divorced at a young age. My step father has always been an important part of my life so I wanted to recognize that. The ceremony was very special because my dad walked me down the aisle and my step-father was the officiant.
Describe the moment from your wedding day that stands out to you the most.
We surprised our guests with a ten minute fireworks show right before the reception ended. It was unbelievable!
How did you find your wedding dress? Who designed it, and how did you know it was the one?
I knew I wanted a backless dress. I only tried on three dresses and fell in love with the Rivini \"Cher\" gown from Kleinfeld's.
What made your wedding feel extra special to you and your partner?
Having all of our friends and family there to celebrate with us. Nobody was missing. It was truly so special.
How did you find your filmmaker and what made you choose them?
Julie Hill - Elysium Productions. My wedding planner recommended them and I became obsessed with their videos on Instagram. It was an easy decision.
What is your favorite moment from your wedding film?
We had not done a first look and they caught Adam's face as I was walking down the aisle. It is the BEST moment.
Tell us the #1 piece of wedding planning advice you wish you would have known OR that you found to be the most helpful.
Get a wedding planner (or someone to help!), you cannot do this alone!
The Couple
What do you think the \"secret sauce\" to your relationship is?
We just click on all the important life topics and enjoy the same things. (Also, I’m convinced that double sinks in the bathroom is the key to a healthy marriage.)
