Introducing our new Storymix Bridal Blogger Liz! – “Hi Y’all!!”

Hi Y’all!

I am so excited to be one of the new Storymix Bridal Bloggers!!

Let’s get acquainted!  A little about myself, my name is Liz, I’m a mid-20’s, Texas girl, planning my traditional, Catholic wedding.  I am also the writer behind the blog, South Texas Wedding.

I love all things wedding (as most Brides-to-Be do)!  From reading wedding blogs to Pinterest, it pretty much takes up my time outside of work.  You know, minus the time I spend with My Mr.

So, on to us winning this contest!

So exciting!  We made a video together that we had a ton of fun doing.  We literally printed our message on paper, cut it out, taped it to index cards, played a song on our phone, and recorded using my laptop camera.  Definitely not professional, but it’s US!

Why did we make this goofy video and display it publicly on the internet?

Because we wanted to win!  I mean,  who doesn’t like to win?  It was way more than that though.  We have been going back and forth on video for our wedding.  My original thought was YES YES YES, his was MONEY MONEY MONEY.  Obviously we both had good points.  Several of my friends have recently gotten married and one of them said that their biggest regret was not having video.  SEE!  You should have video!  It’s just that it was the very last thing that we had to plan and we were very low on the budget.  So when we heard of a contest to win a FREE video, we signed up!!

We can’t wait to use this for our wedding!  We haven’t worked out the details with the chruch yet, and may still get a professional for the ceremony since no one is allowed on the altar, but professionals can be up in the media area, but we will see.  It’s hard to spend any money on it now that we have this package.  As for the reception though, can’t wait to be able to use it!  I know that I have gone to multiple weddings where the professional sits us in front of the camera and asks for us to send a message to the Bride and Groom…awkward!!  I think that our guests will feel much more comfortable interviewing each other, seeing  how they actually know each other.  I think that using Storymix is not only going to catch all the desired video of the night, but have a much more personal feel to it than what a professional could get.  Can you tell I’m excited?!

Again, as you can see in our video, we are not trained professionals, in anyway, just a normal, everyday, engaged couple, just like y’all!  And if WE can figure out how to use the Storymix app, y’all definitely can!!
