Does everyone remember Katy and Kyle from their engagement picture shoot AND their True Bride post, yes....they have already been featured on our blog TWICE and they are back for a THIRD time with a Post-wedding True Brides post!!!
Mr. Kyle and Mrs. Katy Richards were married on December 31st, 2011 at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Florida, Ohio!

| Mr. & Mrs. Richards :) |
Our wedding ceremony followed the traditional Lutheran wedding ceremony. It was simple, but sweet. We hadn't wanted anything more than that.

| First Dance as Husband and Wife |
Our wedding reception actually had two parts. We held the dinner in the church's hall immediately after the ceremony. That part included the dinner, speeches, and traditional things such as first dances, etc. Then, the second part was held at Okolona Tavern where we had a closed private party and danced the night away... oh, and counted down to midnight for New Year's :) We did it this way in an effort to save money, since we were able to rent the church hall for next to nothing!
What was the most special part of your wedding day?
The most special part was marrying my best friend and being able to celebrate with our closest friends and family.
What was the most stressful part about your wedding day?
The most stressful part, honestly, was getting everything set up and ready the night before. I had about a three hour window to get everything set up before the wedding rehearsal started! Needless to say I had a few small “bridezilla” moments. Haha.

We didn't have very many vendors since Kyle and I did a lot of the things ourselves. Really the only vendor we had was the caterer, which was D & J Catering Service out of Wauseon. They were fantastic! We had ordered the BBQ meal (I know, what you are thinking... BBQ and a white dress?! Is she crazy?! haha) and the food was awesome!
Did you plan a honeymoon and if so, where?
Since Kyle had just started a new full-time job, he didn't have much vacation time, so we actually haven't taken a full-fledged honeymoon yet (insert sad face here), but we did get away for a night of relaxation by staying at Belamere Suites in Perrysburg.

*** Anything else you would like to share about your wedding day?
Looking back on it, though I was glad I was able to share the day with close friends and family, I feel like I would have been just as content running away and eloping. I see current brides-to-be who have friends and family members planning and stressing and I would love to shake them and tell them “Listen, it doesn't matter what color chair you sit in at the reception, you won't remember those silly details anyways!”
