Dustin & Emily Dustin & Emily Wedding

It’s always cool to learn how our couples first met, and how much more awesome to say they met while both working at In-N-Out; of all places! Emily was swept off her feet by Dustin’s amazing personality and his ability to compliment her, always making her smile. Dustin was initially drawn to her by her beauty, sense of wit and sarcasm, along with her warm giving demeanor and tender heart.

After 4 years of dating, Dustin was ready to ask Emily to become his wife. He planned to propose to Emily while at a fancy restaurant. However, thanks to work, she couldn’t make their date. The following day, she met Dustin at his apartment and was greeted with a dozen red roses. They were actually running late to a BBQ and Padres baseball game. Emily headed for the door so they could leave, but Dustin insisted they sit on the couch and talk first. After a while, Emily got up again and headed toward the door, but Dustin said he wanted to sit and talk some more. So she did, wondering, “Why is he doing this?” He told her how much she meant to him and that he loved her with all his heart. He said that he finally got to a point in his life that he realized that he couldn’t live without her. He pulled out the ring and asked her to marry him (which of course she accepted!). Emily didn’t know this until later that Dustin kept having her go back to the couch because he hid the ring in the couch!

They chose to have their wedding and reception at The Golf Club of California in Fallbrook. They fell in love with the greenery, pond, fountain, and beautiful building. They received an enormous amount of help from their families, staying up many late nights working on the finer details. Dustin’s mom and aunts all helped decorate their reception. They are very grateful to everyone for making their wedding so wonderful and beautiful…much more than words can describe!

Emily absolutely loved every moment of planning, knowing it was all for Dustin to become her future husband and setting the tone for the rest of their lives together. One of Emily’s most memorable experiences was saying their vows and hearing Dustin say his to her.

Emily’s advise to future brides –

“Don’t wait till the last minute to plan the little things. I waited and it only caused my stress level to go up, whereas I should have been enjoying the week before my wedding. Enjoy this time of planning; it only happens once. Take the entire day in, enjoy and look back on it often! It makes it all worth while again!”
