Sometimes love finds us in the most unexpected ways, like when you fall for a dreamy waiter or accidentally bump shoulders with your soulmate. In the case of Brooke and Andre, Brooke was recovering from an injury and swiped right on Bumble.
After meeting on the dating app, the two became inseparable, despite living in different cities. After a spontaneous proposal at home, the couple eloped shortly after in the stunning Grand Teton National Park, marking the beginning of their happily ever after.
Brooke’s bridal style was an elegant blend of classy and boho. She not only found her dream Martina Liana gown at True Society by Belle Vogue Bridal but also got a once-in-a-lifetime surprise when she won it during the store’s annual Magic of the Season giveaway – a magical time during the winter holidays, where one lucky bride gets the chance to win a free wedding dress during their appointment as well as many other merry surprises! Brooke paired her dress with dreamy boho sleeves and a gorgeous veil that matched the venue’s free-spirited flair.
For their wedding festivities, the couple gathered with their family at an Airbnb in Tetonia, Idaho, for four days of love, laughter and celebration surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Check it out!
BROOKE, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
We met on the dating app Bumble after I ruptured my achilles and we basically became inseparable. Andre, originally from Cleveland, was in Kansas City for work and ended up never leaving. He proposed before he actually planned to because he’s terrible at keeping secrets and just did it at home one day. It was very sweet and intimate. We eloped at Grand Teton National Park. Here we are, several months later, married!
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY.
I won my dress for free during the Magic of the Season giveaway at True Society by Belle Vogue Bridal in Kansas City and was completely in shock. Not only did I get my dream dress, but it was free! My bridal style was classy boho. Since my Martina Liana gown was very classy, I added some boho flair with the sleeves, the veil and, of course, the venue.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS, TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
We went to an Airbnb with our families in Tetonia, Idaho and stayed for four days. We made a bunch of food, played yard games, listened to music, explored and had our ceremony at Schwabacher Landing at the Tetons. It was so special and beautiful.
Cheers to Brooke and Andre!
