How did you meet? We met in 2008 at a local ice cream store in the town I grew up in. My best friend was dating someone who worked there and he was friends with my husband who happened to be at the ice cream store that night visiting. We had stopped by on the way home from the gym and never thought he was even remotely interested in me. But, on the way home my best friend got a text asking for my number. We have bonded over ice cream dates ever since! First or favorite date? I think one of our very first dates was the movies. I…

How did you meet? We met through a friend at a concert at Antone’s (local Austin, TX venue). First or favorite date? Any live music! How did he propose? Our dog was dressed in a tuxedo, rose petals leading up the stairs and there he was all dressed up with flowers and a ring! Most difficult part of wedding planning process? Registering! How did you decide on a wedding venue? Our venue, Mercury Hall, is down the street from our house. A sweet white venue with stained glass that was a church in the 1900’s in Mercury, TX and transferred to Austin in the 70’s. What’s your favorite memory from…

What is it about food that makes it so important and necessary for every celebratory occasion? Other than the fact we need food to live, there are a lot of psychological reasons on why we eat. A lot of times, we eat when we’re sad, happy, and nervous. At times, we eat simply out of boredom! The great thing about food is that there isn’t just one kind. The types of cuisines around the world are endless, and if you were to spend your whole life trying to get a taste of it all, it’d be downright impossible. Every food comes with a rich history and culture. You may not…

How did you meet? We met in college, over summer break we were both working at an ice cream store (Bruster’s) and it was magic ever since! First or favorite date? Although we had many unofficial first dates, our official first date was to Olive Garden (I know, so cheesy) and to the movies where we showed up late and were forced to sit in the front row and break our necks looking at up at the screen. It was all worth it in the end ☺ How did he propose? He arranged to take me to Longwood Gardens for their Christmas display just 3 days after Christmas. They have…

Like any first time mom, when I was pregnant with my first baby, I asked every question in the book regarding fitness, health, and nutrition. I played for my high school soccer team and ran track in college so you can say I was pretty uneasy when it came to my body changing throughout my pregnancy. Hitting the gym every single day was more than a routine to me, it was a sacred ritual. So yes, I was terrified of my body changing. When I had finally given birth to my baby girl, I was dead set on restarting my workout regimes and heading back to the gym ASAP. Boy,…

How did you meet? Martin and I met on Tinder! Back when tinder was still new!! Apparently, his friend stole his phone and swiped yes to about 200 girls and I think I was one of them. We matched and I didn’t write him right away cuz I wanted him to write me. He didn’t, so one night I was home and told my roommate there is this really cute guy but he hasn’t written to me, she said to write him! So I did. I think I said ‘’ hey there’’ He responded and we starting talking, a ton! We started texting and I think he added me…
