Erin and Kevin unexpectedly met while attending separate bachelor and bachelorette parties. Erin was the only single girl in the group, and her friends were humorously determined to "find Erin a husband" which she brushed off quickly, not knowing what would transpire over the weekend. While her group was on a sandbar, Kevin’s boat docked right next to theirs, sparking a chance encounter.

From the moment Erin met Kevin, she felt a profound sense of peace, as if her heart had finally found its home. Fast forward three years, Kevin planned a surprise proposal on a random Wednesday night. He took Erin under the guise of "running errands," but instead, they stopped at our favorite park to enjoy a rare April heatwave in Minnesota. During their walk, Kevin popped the question, creating an intimate moment between just the two of them.

Their wedding took place at a private villa in the coastal town of Manzanillo, Mexico, where the natural beauty provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate destination wedding. Manzanillo is a special place for them, as it is where they first expressed their love for one another. It seemed only fitting to tie the knot where their love began.

When planning their wedding, they wanted to embrace the lush, natural beauty of the area, creating a relaxed and effortless atmosphere. As the bride, Erin's priority was not on the intricacies of design or planning, but marrying the love of her life and cherishing the time spent with those who mean the most to them, making the day truly unforgettable through connection and simplicity.

"Even before my engagement, I had already envisioned myself wearing a dress by Alexandra Grecco! I have always been drawn to her designs for their timeless elegance and romantic allure. When I discovered the Harriet Gown, I was immediately captivated by its effortless style and the luxurious silk. The gown exuded a sense of romance and comfort that perfectly suited my style.

The moment I tried on the Harriet dress, I knew it was the one! The silk draped so beautifully and I immediately had an emotional connection, making it clear that this was the dress I wanted to wear when I married the love of my life." – AG Bride Erin
