❝ The bride had one word to describe the day: “perfect.”

“Before your wedding day, everybody prepares you for how to react if something goes wrong,” Ms. Strickman said. “But no one prepares you for how you’ll feel when everything goes right.” ❞

When Paul Harris Jr. met Allison Strickman, he was a few beers deep and left her unimpressed. They reconnected months later, and their ensuing courtship culminated on a boat called “Miss Guided.”
