Meet Monte and Gretchen
/
Wedding Website?
, not very exciting yet.
Where's Home?
South Austin and Cedar Park. We have a long distance relationship
Why an Austin Wedding?
It is home, and the best place to have a party. We are making everyone come to us!
Length of engagement?
8 months
How long until the wedding?
7 months.
Who did you first tell you were engaged?
I called my parents, but quickly learned that everyone already knew. Not only had Monte been planning the proposal for months, he had told everyone we know. I guess he was pretty confident I would accept. He also alerted everyone to the happenings by updating his Facebook status via Iphone. I love my computer nerd!
If you had to start over in your wedding planning, name one thing would you do differently?
If I knew I was getting engaged in February, I would not have gained so much weight over the holidays! Otherwise the planning is going great, and so much fun...because I have Lorena in my corner.
During the ceremony, who will be the first to cry?
Well, sometimes when I am alone in my car I start to cry thinking about my Dad walking me down the aisle...so the good money is on me. However, I fear that it will be a blubber-fest all around. Monte's sister got married last October and his whole family was a mess.
What are your three favorite blogs/websites (besides STC's)?
Sorry...not into them yet... I am open to suggestions!
When selecting someone to entrust with your wedding day, why did you choose STC ?
Because Lorena was professional, quick to return emails and calls. I also feel that she "got" my discombobulated ideas that not even I understood.
