Real Couples: Stacy + Danny
/Meet Stacy and Danny! From the moment I spoke with Stacy over the phone, we just "clicked." And after meeting her, Danny, and her mother in person - I knew I wanted to be a part of their wedding day. Stacy and Danny are like two peas in a pod. They are the type of couple that you can tell just "meshes" well. I am honored they choose me to help pull all of the final details together. Read more about them below!
Name:
Stacy Cooper and Danny (Quang) Vu
Wedding Website:
www.theknot.com/ourwedding/StacyCooper&QuangVu
Where’s Home?
Clear Lake (Houston, TX)
Why a Houston Wedding?
We never even considered anywhere else. We both grew up in Houston and met at High School here.
Length of engagement?
We got engaged on March 22, 2009 and will be engaged a little over a year and a half by the time we are married.
How long until the wedding?
Four months. I am only slightly freaking out trying to get the details together!
Who did you first tell you were engaged?
My parents and sister! He asked me on the patio at my house, so my parents were inside watching it all unfold. I called my grandparents next, but they already knew, just like everyone else! Then we told all of his family that afternoon at a party that he had planned to celebrate.
If you had to start over in your wedding planning, what one thing would you do differently?
If I started over, I would keep in mind that our wedding is about us and what we want. It was important for Danny and I to sit down together and make sure that we were on the same page This way we could filter through everyone else’s suggestions and I wish that we did it more often. It gets a little overwhelming having so many suggestions and even more so when people aren’t supportive about aspects that you dreamed of and love. There is no need to take rude comments, especially from a jealous bridesmaid. I wish that I would have confronted her earlier on so she didn’t take away some of the fun and excitement.
During the ceremony, who will be the first to cry?
Between Danny and me, it will definitely be me! However, I am not sure if my mom, sister, or I will be first to shed a tear. My mom is convinced that my father will cry first.
What are your three favorite blogs/websites (besides STC’s)?
The only other blog that I keep up with is The Gallery’s (http://thegalleryhouston.blogspot.com/) because I like to see what other brides have done with the venue!
Why did you hire a wedding coordinator? OR When selecting someone to entrust with your wedding day, why did you chose STC?
I knew that I had plenty of time to plan most of the details of the wedding and that was very important to me, but I didn’t want to be stressed out the weekend of the wedding. Having a weekend coordinator was a no-brainer. I chose STC because they were recommended to me by a coordinator at our venue. I spoke with Resha on the phone one evening and heard her kids in the background. I loved that she was home with her family. Family is so important to me and I felt that she would treat us like family and make our wedding important to her as well. She is great and I’m excited to work with her further as we get closer.
Guys - can't wait for your big day!
xoxo - Resha :-)
