How was your experience as a Forever Soles bride?
I absolutely loved wearing Forever Soles for my wedding! I wore the Melody Low Heels in Ivory! They were perfect for my garden party vibes as they had flowers on them, and i’m a sucker for bows (so the bow tie was perfect)! They were so comfy, I hardly could tell I was wearing heels! This is coming from someone who wears heels only a time or two a year!





How did you and your husband meet?
My husband and I met our Freshman Year of High School and immediately hit it off! We’ve been together ever since, so over 9 years now. He proposed on one of the last days of our New England road-trip on Sand Beach in Acadia National Park!
How would you describe your wedding? What was your favourite part?
Our wedding was whimsical & magical! We had a pastel garden party wedding, and everything was perfect! The entire day was our favourite part. We got married in our little hometown of Cascade, Iowa as it was where we met (where our love story started) and was close to family and friends! Our church is actually just a parking lot away from the High School we went together!



You're a wife now! How does it feel to finally tie the knot?
It feels so amazing to finally be a wife to my high school sweetheart! We are enjoying married life together, and have so many trips and adventures ahead of us over the next couple of years to get our marriage started! We traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico the week after our wedding for our honeymoon, and plan to go to a few countries in Europe in 2026 for a “second honeymoon” because why not have 2?
Thanks so much for designing the perfect weddings shoes I could feel beautiful in the day of my wedding!!
