KRISHNA + PRASHAY | TEXAS
Krishna and Prashay, better known as “Krissy and Shay” met in 2015 in Austin, TX via a mutual friend. Their love sparked that night at Kona Bar and Grill and they quickly became best friends, spending nights and weekends around The Domain for bites and drinks. Shay was working for The Westin Hotel in his first management role and Krissy was studying to become a Nurse. Between their hectic schedules, the two would run off to Las Vegas, Miami, or road trip somewhere in Texas for fun. However, their true relationship didn’t begin until distance set them apart as they faced many trials together. Krissy left for Dallas to begin her Nursing career while Shay stayed in Austin moving up the career ladder. Growing apart, they nurtured each other at times but never knew if they’d rekindle a flame... After many years of highs and lows, coming and going, the two finally determined their fate was with each other. In their words, to love is to learn, and time decides who we meet in life but the heart decides who stays and for how long.
True Friends. Never Apart. Maybe In Distance. Never In Heart.
Their wedding planning began just as you would expect when two project managers tie the knotwith a punch list and a load of spreadsheets! Krissy and Shay dove headfirst into planning after getting engaged in December 2022 in Las Vegas. Juggling their demanding jobs - Krissy in the Medical Device industry and Shay in Hospitality Start-Ups - they crisscrossed the country for work, dedicating early mornings and late nights to researching vendors, building a website, Facetiming designers overseas, coordinating outfits for the bridal party, and fine-tuning every detail down to the guest color palettes.
Their journey took them to London, where they scoured the city for the perfect outfits, and then to Portugal for a brief respite before returning to the States. Back home, they indulged their foodie instincts by sampling hole-in-the-wall eateries in search of their wedding menu delights before buckling down on strict diets and workout regimens. Shay affectionately calls Krissy “Fish,” a nod to their fish-heavy diet leading up to their final outfit fittings.
As they prioritized their health and wellness, Krissy introduced Shay to pilates while Shay motivated Krissy to take up running. They embraced clean eating and fresh foods, while supporting each other in their nightly routines and even started a habit of reading together with crisp library cards and a stack of new reads. Their DIY skills were put to the test as they crafted decor, gift bags, and more for their wedding, becoming experts with Cricut through trial and error.
After some pre-wedding fun in Cancun and Miami, they returned home to tackle the final tasks before their big day. In the blink of an eye, fifteen months of planning flew by, and it was time to celebrate with friends and family who had gathered to lend a hand before the wedding weekend commenced.
“In a tale of love that’s stood the test, Two souls entwined, now they’re blessed. Years apart, yet hearts remained true, Now they unite, saying “I do.”
Through trials faced, their bond grew strong, Together they danced, righting every wrong. Through distance and time, their love did soar, Now they embark on forevermore.
Hand in hand, they walk down the aisle, With joy in their hearts, and radiant smiles. Years of memories, laughter, and tears, Now they celebrate, banishing all fears.
Their love story, a testament of fate, Reunited at last, their souls elate. Years together, now they’ll never part, Two hearts united, forever in each other’s heart.”
