Amy and Ryan wanted a sweet, nostalgic and happy wedding. They were married at Star Hill Ranch in Austin, in March. "I originally wanted a ceremony at our house, but there was no way we could fit everyone, so we brought elements of our home to the venue", Amy said. "We both love mid-century ascetics, but didn't want it to be too kitschy or overdone. One guest described it as 'if Wes Anderson remade Steel Magnolias' which is a fantastic compliment if not just a really, really good idea."
