The Couple:  Robyn and Steve Frame

Wedding Date:  May 5, 2012

Tell us a little about you and your beloved:  We are both members of a local volunteer organization focusing on helping and improving the lives of underprivileged children in our local communities. We met at one fundraiser and started dating at another.

What was the most amazing part of your day?  There was a Super-moon on our wedding day. The moon was bigger and brighter than a regular full moon. It was quite a sight. I asked our photographer to snap some pics and they came out spectacular. What a special treat!

What else would you like to share about your big day?  It is such an amazing feeling to see all of the most important people in your lives in the same room.

Ceremony & Reception Site, Caterer & Dessert Bar:  Timber Creek Ballroom

Photographer:  The Studio

Cake:  A friend made us a cake for photos

Flowers:  Rosedale Florist

Favors:  We had lottery scratchers, a penny and a note that said “we are so lucky to have you in our lives.” Guests will remember this inexpensive favor, especially if someone walks away with a jackpot!

Wedding Dress:  I rented my dress from Alexandria’s in Roseville. The veil, petticoat and cleaning fee were included in the price. The best part was I got to give it back and didn’t have to find a place to store it.

Bridesmaid Dresses:  David’s Bridal

Hair & Makeup:  A friend who does hair and make up as a hobby.

Invitations:  DIY. We bought them at Michaels and printed them at home.

DJ/Entertainment/Band:  Storm Productions

Honeymoon location:  New Orleans and then a Caribbean cruise.

Any other of your wedding vendor(s) you’d like to call out?  Steve Siglin was our officiant and his ceremony was hilarious, our guests will never forget it.

First Dance Song:  “Whatever It Is” by Zac Brown Band. That was our first concert together and the words are beautiful.

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now?  Borrow whatever you can. Many details of your wedding will get overlooked so why spend a fortune when you don’t have to?

Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance?  I would have loved pictures with our guests at every table. It would have be a thrill to see what our guests looked like on our special day 25 years from now.

Tell us a little about you and your beloved:  We met at a restaurant that we both worked at to get through college. First we were friends and then our relationship grew into more. We dated for about two years before we got engaged. Our engagement was seven months and that was the perfect amount of time for us. We are best friends and believe that God brought us together. We are so blessed to have found each other.

What was the most amazing part of your day?  The most amazing part of the day was seeing each other for the first time. It was so special for both of us.

What else would you like to share about your big day?  My father has been diagnosed with cancer and it was such a blessing that we were able to have him there and walk me down the aisle. It was a very emotional time for the three of us!

Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now?  Take it one step at a time and don’t sweat the small stuff. It won’t matter on your big day and will stress you out for no reason.

Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance?  There is nothing we would do differently! We loved every minute of it and still talk about how we want to do it again because it was such an amazing day!
