Hyatt Regency, Dallas. Room 781. We knock on the door. There’s a buzz of activity as we see JJ and Micaela (Dallas Hair and Makeup) diligently working on Lori and her bridesmaids. Lori is stress free as she writes one last note to her fiance. Details are set–flowers are gorgeous and the borrowed broach from David’s sister is the finishing touch on her bouquet. Her dress is elegant and fits beautifully. She’s such a lovely bride. Mom is holding back the tears as they embrace. She gives us one last glance as if to say, “I’m ready to see my groom.” Several floors above, David is preparing for the best decision he’s ever made. His father quietly stands by, beaming with pride. It’s time. It’s a long corridor and David is waiting as patiently as he can. He looks up. There she is. Their hearts race. Pure joy! For a moment, all else is forgotten and time stands still–just David and Lori. This is meant to be. The rest of the day flies by so smoothly, it’s surreal. Family and friends gather at Level Two, to celebrate David and Lori’s lifetime commitment. Rose petals, candles and a wine bottles–labeled with David & Lori’s name and wedding date–adorn each table. Each centerpiece is personalized from Lori’s 3rd grade students. Placed in each wine cork is a student’s attempt to describe love. “Love is… when David and Lori get married.” Perfect! The night is punctuated with laughter, hugs, and well wishes for the newlyweds. One of many highlights of the night includes a special moment to commemorate Lori’s wonderful grandparents, celebrating their 60th year as husband and wife. And what was even more impressive was the serenade the men put on for Lori, a la Top Gun –“You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.”What a fantastic wedding–sending these two off as man and wife clearly brought joy to everyone’s hearts. Congratulations, David and Lori!
