From Friendship to Forever: Sarah & Andrew’s Love Story

A timeless celebration in New Albany, Ohio — Sarah Michelle found forever love and her dream Studio Levana gown at La Jeune Mariée. Her emotional ceremony and modern-romantic reception with Andrew are what bridal dreams are made of.

Sarah Michelle and Andrew’s journey began at a mutual friend’s birthday lunch — a simple meet-cute that blossomed into something beautifully lasting.

From that day, they grew closer, became fast friends, and eventually… completely inseparable.

“He’s my best friend and the love of my life,” Sarah says. What started as laughs over lunch turned into forever vows under a flower-draped arbor.

On Sarah – Marilyn Dress, Meant To Be Collection

Sarah discovered Studio Levana through a bridal boutique she visited during her search for “the dress.” She ended up finding her dream gown at La Jeune Mariée — one that perfectly balanced elegance, comfort, and structure.

The gown gave her everything she wanted for her wedding day: support, stunning detail, and timeless design — all while making her feel confident and radiant from ceremony to reception.

Set among tall evergreens and floral arrangements, Sarah and Andrew tied the knot in New Albany, Ohio, surrounded by family and friends. Their outdoor ceremony was filled with emotion, laughter, and heartfelt moments.

Inside the reception, the vibe was modern-romantic. From their first dance to toasts filled with joy and happy tears, every moment felt deeply personal and full of love.

“Although it may be stressful. Take it all in ! This only comes around once and it is about you and your partner nobody else!”
