WHY DID YOU ENTER THIS CONTEST?<br />
Nikki: I have been dream<strong>in</strong>g about my wedd<strong>in</strong>g day s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
I was a little girl! I love <strong>the</strong> fact that <str<strong>on</strong>g>Real</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</str<strong>on</strong>g> uses<br />
real brides as <strong>the</strong>ir models. My career revolves around<br />
encourag<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> empower<strong>in</strong>g females <strong>in</strong> sports <strong>and</strong> life, so<br />
I’ve always been a big fan <strong>of</strong> this magaz<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
TELL US ABOUT YOUR COVER MODEL EXPERIENCE.<br />
N: The selecti<strong>on</strong> process was fun. I was super anxious to<br />
hear if I was selected as a f<strong>in</strong>alist after my <strong>in</strong>terview. Once I<br />
found out that I was a f<strong>in</strong>alist, I was <strong>on</strong> cloud n<strong>in</strong>e because I<br />
love gett<strong>in</strong>g all glammed up <strong>and</strong> pampered. On <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> shoot, <strong>the</strong> makeup <strong>and</strong> hair process was so much fun,<br />
as I wore many different looks I’ve never tried before, <strong>and</strong><br />
try<strong>in</strong>g <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> dresses was a great experience s<strong>in</strong>ce I’ll <strong>on</strong>ly be<br />
wear<strong>in</strong>g <strong>on</strong>e for my actual wedd<strong>in</strong>g. It’s cool I’ll have pictures<br />
<strong>in</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r dresses just for fun. To be h<strong>on</strong>est, it was a very l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
day <strong>and</strong> I was pretty exhausted by <strong>the</strong> end. I wouldn’t have<br />
changed it for <strong>the</strong> world though because <strong>the</strong> team we had<br />
that day was top-notch. It was so much fun shoot<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
Qu<strong>in</strong>n—we actually found out we live less than half a mile<br />
from each o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>and</strong> plan to go <strong>on</strong> walks <strong>and</strong> c<strong>of</strong>fee dates<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r. I absolutely loved <strong>the</strong> experience <strong>and</strong> friendships<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Real</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</str<strong>on</strong>g> gave me <strong>and</strong> would recommend apply<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to any bride. Thank you <str<strong>on</strong>g>Real</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</str<strong>on</strong>g> Magaz<strong>in</strong>e! OO<br />
