Cassandra: He proposed to me. We were cleaning up his room and started playing 20 questions. His last question was "Will you marry me?"
Q: Where were you married? Why did you choose that site?
Cassandra: We got married outside the courthouse in Beaver. I choose that sight because I love nature and thought the spot would look really pretty in the fall when the leaves were changing colors.
Q: Where was the reception and honeymoon? Why did you choose those sites?
Cassandra: Our reception was held at the Elks in Beaver Falls because my family and I are members there. They did such a wonderful job. We honeymooned at Conneaut Lake. We have a cottage right outside of town. It is very peaceful and quiet up there.
Q: What was the best part? The worst?
Cassandra: The best part was that everyone that we wanted at our wedding came. They made our day even more special than it already was. The worst part was that it rained up until three minutes before I had to walk up to the gazebo. Everything was so muddy!
Q: Who was your favorite wedding vendor? Why?
Cassandra: They were all really good, but I'm going to have to say my wedding planner because she took care of everything for me that day. She made my dream wedding happen.
Q: What is one thing that you do solely because you love your spouse?
Cassandra: There isn't just one thing that I do solely because I love Bob. I try and help him out any way I can.
