LOVE STORY: (Bride's answers)
How did you two meet?
We met in medical school, he was from the Bay Area, I returned back to the area after going away for undergrad and grad school. The first week of med school we had lots of orientations and he always caught my eye, and I found myself trying to be around him. We sat near each other in classes and soon shared friends and started studying together. He asked me out a few months into the first year, and the support of a partner who is going through the rigors of the program was an amazing bonding point.
How did he propose?
I was a figure skater growing up, and I LOVE Christmas- so he planned a vacation to the Olympic Village in Tahoe the week before Christmas, took me up to the ice rink, and proposed as family looked on and recorded it all! It was snowing, it was perfection.
Where and When will you be getting married?
We continued our Christmas / Winter theme, got married a year later in Sacramento at the end of December. It was important to us both to have the ceremony in a church, but we definitely wanted an amazing reception, and what actually came of that day was far and beyond our dreams.
WEDDING TALK
How was the process planning your wedding?
It was a rather rapid process for me, I had 6 months to plan it, and being a Resident Physician made it all that more challenging. I had days I would walk the hospital halls calling DJ's, video chatting with the planners, and endless endless emails. I relied on my almost sister in law quite a bit, she went to a lot of appts with me, and was my voice of reason a lot of the time ('do I want cupcakes? should I do my hair like this?'). It was actually a true joy, my heart was so full of excitement and love that the process was a representation of. I had tons of ideas from pinterest in various boards, and it was so satisfying to see them come together. I worked with amazing people from the florist to venue coordinators, it made the planning really enjoyable and personal.
Any Tips or Tricks for Brides who just got engaged?
Work with good-hearted people. I enjoyed the process and trusted the planning because the people I worked with were amazing, kind, hard working. They were all people I would see myself having dinner with.

I yelp searched for videographers, Kevin came up, among others, and I just started to call people.
