recalls the bride. "But once I could see my soon-to-be-husband at the end,
and I realized I was with my dad for those last special few moments, it
sort of hit me that I was really getting married. I enjoyed that time to soak
it all in."
Entering their reception as husband and wife into a room €lled with
their friends and family was "beyond amazing," the couple says.
"It was so enjoyable to just be there with your wife, and all of the
people you love, knowing they're there for you," reŠects David.
Adds his new wife: "To be able to take that in... there's not a word to
describe it."
