And so we definitely wanted to bring in a lot of our sort of unique history and personality and our hobbies and things like that, and a lot of ourselves into the wedding.” - Krista Jones   “The goal is we can keep having it be fun as it grows and develops, as opposed to turning it into a thing that has to work because we're vitally dependent on it.

I've been a musician, I was in software, blah, blah, blah, and even things like healthy eating or exercise. You can make a drastic change and throw yourself at it and I just don't believe it's sustainable. Whereas when you make these incremental changes, you make it a process that's enjoyable, then it just becomes this part of your life.” - Dave Bristol   “You have to have a lot of adaptivity, right? As we play test ideas, we have to come back, revise them. We have to sort of constantly be thinking about new things and managing these projects on a timeline, making sure we're able to deliver them, all of those kinds of things.” - Krista Jones   Learn more about your ad choices.
