Jeff before Proposal at White Rock Lake

The wedding was beautiful.  It was a warm, sunny day with people enjoying visiting  outside while overlooking the lake.  I kept referring to the building as a church because there was a beautiful sermon (by the bride's brother-in-law) with scriptures, the vows, and a prayer by the brother of the groom.  The wedding party dressed at the hotel before coming to the Filter except the bride.  The upstairs room was perfect for the bride.  The wedding party rehearsed at the restaurant at the Rehearsal Dinner.  Everyone seemed to know where their places were even though rehearsing took place in a foreign location.  Signs  placed in strategic locations near the Filter Building helped guests locate the building.  

The bridal couple created a fabulous wedding with incredible music. Who could ask for more than strings, a DJ, and a Beatles tribute band?  It was a day full of fantastic  memories.
