Sharon in her Vera Wang dress

Legendary designer Vera Wang creates only five completely custom haute couture wedding gowns a year and, believe it or not, our very lucky bride got to choose one of them! "It feels like a dream come true," Sharon says.

Sharon chose a dream of a dress. It took nearly six months and nearly 500 hours to hand stitch every single inch—18 yards of silk duchesse satin! Sharon also wore plantinum and diamond chandelier earrings from Vera Wang's new line of fine jewelry. In her hair are stunning diamond and platinum broaches from Neil Lane Jewelers.

But don't forget our handsome groom! Colin flew El to New York to visit Ermenegildo Zegna, one of the most exclusive suit makers in the world. Through their made-to-measure service, a custom one-of-a-kind tuxedo is created just for El.

"I think Sharon is going to be so elated when she sees me in this tux she's probably going to have a tear or two in her eye," El says.
