Name: Nik and Rachelle Elliott
Wedding Date: July 23rd 2011
Wedding Location (ceremony/reception): Sandy, Oregon (at Nik’s parents home on the Sandy River).
Wedding Time: 5:30pm
How did you and your husband meet: Nik and I went to the same high school, but did not know each other. We meet through mutual friends when I was in college. Friendship eventually turned to romance when I was in dental school at USC. We dated 1 year, long distance, before I moved home to Oregon. We haven’t been apart since.
Dress Designer: Aire Barcelona
How was your experience at Charlotte’s: My experience at Charlotte’s was amazing! I was not one of those brides that was excited to go look at dresses. I was terrified. I heard great things about Charlotte’s so I decided that I would start there. I had no idea what I wanted in a dress and the staff was so patient with me. They let me try on dress after dress, until we finally figured out the look I was going for. There was no pressure to buy and they let me come back with friends and family several times before making the final decision. I looked forward to going back every time because the staff was so amazing.
What did you like most about working with Charlotte’s: They made me feel comfortable and really helped me figure out what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. After going to Charlotte’s wedding dress shopping became fun, instead of a stress. All of the rooms were so spacious and beautiful. I felt like the only bride there. Everyone was so wonderful with the whole process.
What did you like most about your wedding: The best part about our wedding was marrying my best friend. Our families worked so hard to throw an amazing party in celebration of us. We enjoyed every second of it. The look on Nik’s face when he saw me in that dress was priceless. I will never forget it!
