Rachael & Colin’s day was completely blessed. I think every person involved was getting on their knees leading up to this wedding asking God to hold off the rains so that this couple could share their vows in the outdoor garden at Marie Gabrielle in downtown Dallas. The Lord heard those prayers and not only held off the rain for their ceremony but a drop didn’t hit the ground until after their entire celebration came to an end. On top of the praise worthy weather their day was just full of sweet moments and we so enjoyed sharing in it with them.
Meeting up with the ladies for getting ready I kind of fell in love with the thoughtful gift the bridesmaids bestowed upon their friend. Each girl purchased a cookbook for her new home and wrote a note to Rachael in it. I love that for years to come she can pull out those cook books, fill her home with delicious food and remember her wedding day. Way to go ladies!
At the gardens before the ceremony Rachael & Colin shared a moment together with out breaking tradition of seeing one another. Around a pillar they shared wedding gifts and some words to ease their nerves and share their excitement. During the ceremony we laughed that Colin married 2 women as her uncle and minister tripped over his words and called her by her first name once and middle name another time. Every day needs something to tell stories about!
Check back tomorrow for their wedding reception blog and slide show. In the meant time thanks to a stellar vendor team that pulled all the details together and made sure this day was smooth.
