What was your courtship like?
Direct. We both walked in with a clear understanding that this would lead either to marriage or being friends.
What was the planning process for your wedding?
Just get it done! We found a checklist and just followed it week by week.

Through prayer. Each week the answer to the question, “Do I want to spend the rest of my life with the person?” was yes
Did you ever pray that you would find each other?
Daily.
Questions for Meghan:
Share those final moments as a single women as you’re getting ready for your wedding?
I was just really happy and peaceful! It felt very freeing those moments.
What was the thing you were looking forward to most on your wedding day?
Everyone just massively praying and celebrating together.
Describe that moment when you walked down the aisle toward Brice?
Oh gosh. So many things overriding each other. First, it’s the fact that I’m walking towards my almost husband. Secondly, that I’m seeing SO many amazing people I want to say hi to. And thirdly, when I get super emotional it’s hard for me to stand- so basically just trying to practically make it to the altar.
Describe your wedding dress?
Oooooh! It’s a silk sweetheart, with a cape made out of crystals layered over like a necklace. It was exactly my style- simple and and classic with a unique, fun pop. I then added a long sleeve topper and panels to cover the back. It was fun to make the dress my own. I wish we could all dress like that every day!
Questions for Brice:
How would you sum up the best day of your life?
Prayerful and happiness.
What has been the biggest blessing to come out of marriage?
To have someone beside me who prays for me, listens to me, helps me, and makes me laugh.
What are you looking most forward to as you begin this marital journey, after the wedding?
Building a life with Meghan and allowing the Holy Spirit plenty of space to guide us.
Any words of encouragement for all the single people?
Don’t lower your standards. Follow Church teaching. Pray. And go out and meet people. If you believe God is calling you to marriage, go out and meet people and keep your eyes and ears open.
