By Day: The Houston-based couple spends a lot of time in Austin. Justin owns Great Southern Music, with his father (family-owned for almost 40 years), and Nancy is a yoga teacher who is opening her own studio called Big Yoga.

How They Met
In Philadelphia (Nancy’s hometown). Justin moved from Austin to Philly to join a band (The AK A’s). They were introduced by a mutual friend at a bar and moved to Houston together two and a half years later.

Their Perfect Date
The Houston-based couple spends a lot of time in Austin (where their engagement photos were taken at the Hotel San José).

Nancy says: For a perfect day in Austin, we would start off at our favorite coffee shop (after some amazing Austin yoga, of course!), Jo’s, right next to the San Jose, for some awesome coffee, and then hit up Mother’s Cafe for a little veggie brunch. Our perfect day would be filled with some shopping (for both of us, believe it or not!) and some serious chill time at Barton Springs. After that, we’d wind down with poolside cocktails at the San Jose (which is where we’ll be staying after our wedding in September at the Texas Star Hill Ranch). We’d finish up the evening with dinner outdoors, live music and dancing.

Keeping Love Alive
Nancy says: The key to love for the long haul is clear communication and not taking yourself so seriously. If you come at it honestly and playfully, there’s no room for stress.
