Dream
Dream dress: I loved my dress a lot! I probably would have been ok with a couture version if I was loaded.
Dream venue: On the beach for the ceremony and a beach side indoor area for the reception with fire pits outside, but we'd have to go to socal for nicer beaches/venues and decent weather.
Celebrity husband: Ummm... it's been a long time since I had a "celebrity crush" so maybe Matthew McConaughey. Yum!
Where would you move together: Colorado or somewhere greener that has sunny days without California's huge pricetag.
What would your house look like:
House here - small house on a large plot

Reality
Your dress: Allure 8445... amazing!
Your venue: Eagle Ridge GC in Gilroy

Where have you lived/ are you living/do you want to move:
We moved 4 times the first two years we were together (well including the move to move in together) but stayed in Fremont & Newark. I would like to move out of the Bay Area one day... please!
Rent, own, house goals:
Buy a house in the next 8 months. It sucks to commit to the Bay Area but it's going to be years before we can think of leaving. We're currently renting.
