Q: How did you two meet?

A: “We met at a house party hosted by Andy and his roommates while attending Texas State University. We always think it’s funny that we met before we actually "met." Andy had always felt that he had known me before we actually met at his house in 2013. A few months into dating Andy discovered through Facebook photos (back when we would upload 500 photos into 1 album- guilty as charged) that we had crossed paths before. 375 photos deep into my Spring Break 2011 album...there I am, dancing on a cooler, holding a jug of pre-made shots with none other than Andy Erickson in a cowboy hat chugging from my jug!! UGH college romance, isn't it beautiful?”

Q: Tell us about your wedding details and venue.

A: “We chose 71 West Ranch because it is owned and operated by our family. We have been working so hard to get 71 West developed the last two years so we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! When envisioning our wedding day, we really just wanted to highlight the natural scenery of our ranch. With the help of our friend Sydney at Lemon Leaf Florist our vision came to life! The decor featured loose grasses and dusty colors that really complimented the true beauty of the property at 71 West. It truly was a dream, we wish we could relive this day over and over! We can't wait to be able to share 71 West and all the possibilities it offers to many couples to come!”

Q: What was your favorite part of the wedding day?

A: “Our favorite part of our wedding day may be different than most. After 2 1/2 years of our family putting so much hard work into this venue, it was the most incredible feeling watching it come to life. Making our "grand entrance" through the 100+ year old doors we handpicked to all of our closest friends and family cheering for us...we are still speechless. A moment that is truly incomparable to any other.

...but we also truly enjoyed the 20 minutes of eating crab cakes and shrimp tostadas alone with each other (Married!!) beforehand waiting for that grand entry moment!!”
