Wedding | Belo Mansion in Dallas | S & K

December 18, 2009

Once more in Texas – and getting a well received break from another north east cold snap.
The entire weekend radiated an absolute warmth; the bride and groom have known each other since a church group ski trip a decade ago, and their families have been unofficially united for years.? The wedding had the feeling of one large jubilant family, rather than two distinct groups coming together for the first time.

The evening ceremony was held at the childhood church of the bride and groom, First Methodist in Arlington.? The sanctuary itself was decorated for the holiday with poinsettias, and couple added arrangements of white flowers at the ends of the pews.? They invited their friends and family to participate in the service with readings and song.

Dallas’ Belo Mansion held the reception – The Pavillion Ballroom was a proper mix of modern and traditional. Food and dancing and cake and champagne.? Beautiful way to end a year of weddings.

Congratulations to S. and K!

Have an amazing trip to Belize!

Days that begin with dancing dogs are definitely good ones.
