Remember Erin from the premier week of Her Campus UTK? Well we’re bringing back this beautiful, hard-working lady for this week’s cutie! Not only do you get to enjoy how beautiful she is, but you get a little insight into her August 2010 wedding. She is now finishing her Senior year at UTK as Mrs. Erin Downs.

Major: Sociology Criminal Justice

Age: 21

Year: Senior

How long have you been married: 8 Months

Favorite part about your wedding: Before the ceremony started I was in this small little room by myself and Ryan (my husband) walked in. It was the first time that he saw me in my dress and the look on his face said everything. It was a wonderful moment that only we were able to share. My second favorite part was singing Rocky Top with my Tennessee girls.

I know school and work got in the way of a honey moon, where would be your dream honeymoon when you get to go: I would love to go to Ireland. Ryan and I have talked about it a lot and we both agree that Ireland would be amazing and so beautiful.

Favorite wedding present: My favorite present was my wedding. My mother put it all together while I was away at school and then while I was at my ROTC summer camp for a month where I was not able to talk to her at all, this was a two weeks before my wedding. She did a wonderful job at putting it all together without any help from me.

Did you like the way you looked in your wedding dress (cause you definitely looked amazing)? I loved my dress. From the moment I put it on I knew that it was what I wanted to be wearing when I walked down the aisle.
