Cassy Joy: And I’m back! I feel like I’m back like I’ve never been back before, and I hardly know where to begin, but I want to start off by saying hi! Thank you guys for hanging with me while we took some time to go on our honeymoon and get resettled back in life. But I’m back, as promised, to do a podcast episode, speaking specifically to our recent wedding experience, but more importantly in how it might apply to more folks, how you can take some of my lessons learned and some of the things I went in with as goals and as game plans, and kind of fold those into your real life experiences; whether that’s a wedding you’ve got coming up, or yourself, or that of your daughter’s, or of a friends, or if you’ve just got a big event, I think these are really good pieces of advice. So thanks for joining me, I’m excited!1. Welcome back Cassy [1:18]

So, where do I begin? Oh my goodness. I feel like I’m speaking to you from smack dab in the middle of a fairytale, to be honest. It’s not one of those Disney princess cartoon fairytales, but it’s more like one of those realistic, nothing is perfect, and at the same time everything is perfect kind of fairytale. I think the show, Once Upon A Time if you’ve ever seen it, is a great example, and if you’re not familiar with it, the rough premise is that fairytale characters in their subsequent stories are dropped from their fanciful books and movies into a real life setting full of real life complications and real life joys. And that’s really where I’m at right now.I feel like Snow White who is just having a string of bad hair days. {laughs} So I’ll take it. I feel like I’m one of the most fortunate girls, and this is a really special time in our lives, so I’m happy to be able to share some of it with you guys.

So if you are new here, and you wonder what the heck I’m jabbering about, let me get you quickly up to speed. I married the love of my life on Saturday, October 24, 2015 in the middle of one of those torrential Texas rainstorms that you might have heard about. There was lots of flooding. We decided to go with our plan, and we stood under this divinely formed, natural pecan tree cathedral alongside the Concho River in San Angelo, Texas. It’s where Austin is from. Austin and I were engaged for about 1 year, and as a girl who hadn’t really done any pre-wedding, or pre-engagement wedding planning, it was a real learning process. There were some curveballs, but I held on for the ride and enjoyed it.Above all, Austin and I wanted to make sure that during the whole process we really set the tone at the very beginning. Because we’ve seen folks really get carried away with some of the details and lose touch with what’s most important. So we set the tone, and we wanted to make sure that we number one honored each other, honored the meaning behind the upcoming union. We really stayed focused on the marriage; not necessarily just the wedding. And that we truly honored our family. Family is really important to the two of us, and so we wanted to make sure that they really felt like they were involved and really taken into account.
