Unfortunately, the bride fractured her foot just three months before the wedding and had to closet her heels. Instead, she opted for a pair of Vans sneakers which reminded her of the Vans she wore the first time she met Doug!

The couple’s favorite part of the day? “Getting to see Doug after not being able to all day. He’s my best friend, and I was getting impatient! My favorite memory was sharing our vows with each other,” said the bride. The groom said, “Seeing Brittany finally walk down the aisle in her dress, and the entire ceremony.”
