my name is Erica Stoner, owner of Complete Weddings + Events in South Bend Indiana. I have an amazing husband, five awesome kids and five beautiful grandkids. Since the first wedding I worked I knew I had a passion for planning and coordinating. I have an eye for detail and find joy in creating the day you dreamed of. When I am not planning Weddings, you can find me in my Jeep off-roading, curled up by the fire reading a book or watching football. My favorite past time as you could imagine is spending quality time with my grandkids. I would love nothing more than to help create a memorable and stress-free day that is all about you and your partner.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CompleteWeDoMichiana\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/completemichiana\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erica-stoner-458451327\/"],"url":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/blog\/author\/completesouthbend\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10799"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10814,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10799\/revisions\/10814"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/south-bend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
