MATRON OF HONOR: BRI'S HIGH SCHOOL BESTIE & COLLEGE ROOMMATE
GO TO KARAOKE SONG: Shania Twain, Man! I Feel Life a Woman! My favorite karaoke night was at Ego's off South Congress, Brooke, Tim, and Bryan were my backup singers.
BEST MAN. COLLEGE BEST FRIEND
FAVORITE TRIP WITH STEPHEN: My favorite trip with Stephen (one of too many to count) was us making an eastern European tour through Istanbul, the Greek island of Corfu, & Budapest. It was Stephen’s first European trip (which led to many more) that was defined by soccer “hooligan” riots which led to me losing my iPhone, getting locked out of an AirBnb, eating McDonalds, and instigating a boat party we didn’t even go on.
MAID OF HONOR. BRIANNA'S YOUNGER SISTER
FAVORITE TRUE CRIME MYSTERY: JonBenet Ramsey Case. It has so many weird twists, but in the end, we all know the brother did it and the parents helped cover it up.
AFTER COLLEGE HOMIE
FAVORITE ATX COFFEE SPOT: When I’m feeling the tickle, I like to head down to Pickle Rd and get some out of this world craft coffee followed by Austin’s best beer at Cosmic Coffee.
COLLEGE BESTFRIEND
BEST BAR IN AUSTIN: If your looking for a popular spot that brings a crowd, Buford’s has been my favorite bar for the past year or so. My favorite drink I've ever had though, is at Culinary Dropout. Try the La Vida Verde: vodka, cilantro, mint, pineapple, and jalapeño! Yum!
COLLEGE BUDDY
MOST MEMORABLE ROUND OF GOLF: During college at the A&M campus course. The entire round I was shanking shot after shot. The 11th tee box was a par 3 over the water. My first one off the tee went into the water. Without saying a word I go get another ball, tee it up....shank it into the water. I walk over to my bag, pick it up, walk to my car and leave the course without saying a word to Stephen!
COLLEGE BESTFRIEND
FAVORITE SPORTING EVENT MEMORY: Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field. It was the first time my now husband and I went on a trip together and the first time either of us had been to Lambeau Field. We got to take a tour of their hall of fame and tried a local brewery. Plus we played the Cowboys and we both can't stand them! Go Pack Go!
COLLEGE ROOMIE
FAVORITE BEER STYLE AND BREWERY: Style = Saison Brewery = Jester King; JK has reached legendary status. The beer is fantastic and unique, the setting is serene and even the food is top notch. I love the philosophy not only behind their brewing, but in how they operate as they push to be fully self-sustaining. Other Favorites: Oddwood Ales (Austin) Celestial Beerworks (Dallas) Great Notion Brewing (Portland) Cycle Brewing (Tampa) Yokefellow Beer (Johnson City)
AFTER COLLEGE BESTIE
FAVORITE WINE/WINE REGION: Chablis, France and any wine from this region. I loved it originally because it goes so well with seafood and then it was made extra special when my husband proposed to me in a vineyard there!
DALLAS DRINKING BUD
BEST SPORTING EVENT MEMORY: A&M at Auburn football game was pretty tight cause we had a whole squad there. However, it’s got to be the Astros World Series. I went solo and had to drive back at 3am the next day to get to work on time but it was a historic moment and bucket list item for me.
