Where's Home?:

Austin, TX

Why a Columbus Wedding?:

We wanted to get married around my hometown because it would be convenient for all the family and friends to attend.

Length of engagement?:

8 months

How long until the wedding?

22 days ……. OMG!

Who did you first tell you were engaged?

I called my parents while he called his.

If you had to start over in your wedding planning, what one thing would you do differently?

The bridesmaid dresses have been the biggest headache for me. My advice is to pick out a fabric and color, and then check out the styles. It can be very upsetting to find a style that you LOVE, and then come to discover that particular style is not available in the color/fabric you are looking for.

During the ceremony, who will be the first to cry?

My Mom, she has been an emotional wreck through this entire process ….. Happy tears of course, but she will most definitely be the first to loose it!

What are your three favorite blogs/websites (besides STC's)?

Tyler Scmitt’s blog, People, The Knot

Why did you hire a wedding coordinator? OR When selecting someone to entrust with your wedding day, why did you choose STC?

We decided to hire a coordinator because we want everyone to be able to come to the wedding, relax, and enjoy themselves. Our families are both more than willing to step in and take upon responsibilities, but they are guests, and we didn’t feel this was necessary. I received a high recommendation from our photographer. He has worked with lots of people in the industry, so I trusted and went with his recommendation of STC!

Guys - it has been an honor to work with you. I can't wait for your big day!

Much love, Resha
