Some of Ryan & Leslie’s memories from the day:
Q. What was your favorite part about the wedding?
A. Getting married in the Dominican Republic was an absolute dream and having all of our closest friends and family there to celebrate our commitment to each other was the icing on the cake!
Q. What was the most special moment on your wedding day?
A. I have 2 special moments. Of course, walking down the aisle to Ryan and seeing the expression on his face as he saw me for the first time; it was like love at first sight all over again! The second would be surprising Ryan’s dad, Steve, with a father/daughter dance at the reception. We danced to the song “Butterfly Kisses” in remembrance of his daughter (Ryan’s sister), Megan, who was killed in a car accident in 1997 at the age of 12.
Q. What do you look forward to most about being married?
A. Starting a family with Ryan. My whole life I have always said I never want kids and have struggled with the idea of motherhood, but since our “I do’s” my perspective on children has changed. Parenthood is a scary thing, but I can’t wait to share that experience with Ryan!
