Have you ever seen a first look with an alpaca? Alyssa knew Bradley loved llamas and she compromised with getting an alpaca to show up in her place for the first look!

After lots of plotting behind the scenes to make that happen, Bradley had a surprise too. He gave Alyssa an adorable collage of photos of a puppy that he adopted in secret! They would bring the pup home in a few weeks. Alyssa cried and laughed and it was so sweet to witness.

Before the ceremony, the weather was a bit more cold and windy than expected. They had an amazing team to help reassure them. One of their coordinators read them a poem about how rain on a wedding day is never bad luck. In fact, it symbolizes strength. Rainwater on a knot only makes the knot stronger and more difficult to untie, just like the bond of a marriage.

All wedding days are memorable for the best reasons- Alyssa and Bradley’s day was no exception.
