Moronez told Insider that her parents got married at a courthouse, and they had a party with their family to celebrate their nuptials later.
Although the party wasn’t a formal wedding, Moronez’s mom wore a white dress for the occasion, and her parents shared a first dance.
“The DJ played their song, and it was a song called ‘The Lady in Red’ by Chris de Burgh,” Moronez said. “And my family surprised her by shining a red light on her dress.”
“My mom always talked about being with my dad and how in that moment it was like that one second of feeling totally alone, just being you and that other person,” she went on to say.
From the time she was 4 years old, Moronez knew she wanted to pay tribute to her parents’ love story with her wedding dress by wearing a red gown.
And as she grew up, red felt even more right, as she told Insider she thinks of red as her power color.
