Our trip started in Greenville where Jeremy and Nicole let us stay over and hang out. We drove to Rockwall for dinner at The Flying Saucer and it is right on the lake, so we had to take a pic or two :)
:D
Always fun seeing those guys!
Sunday afternoon we headed to Dallas to get checked in at our hotel. We stayed at the Magnolia Hotel (Dallas edition) in downtown - it was a really nice hotel!
It was a bummer though, by the time we checked in, all the gift bags for guests had been handed out :\ I am sure they were lovely!
Onto the main event!
I will preface this by telling you that Brad is a very proud Texan :) Brad and Lauren's wedding and reception were held at the Old Red Courthouse in Dallas. It was such a neat venue, and the insides were just beautiful. Elegant yet a little rustic. There were so many neat details that really personalized the event, we just had a super great time!
We entered the courthouse on the first floor and were greeted with the voice of Big Tex welcoming us to the wedding. For the non-Texans, Big Tex is this cowboy character that welcomes everyone to the Texas state fair!
We then were led to the fourth floor for the ceremony. Brad and Lauren are Jewish, and this was the first time Aaron and I have been to a Jewish wedding, so we were really excited to see what the ceremony would be like. The men were asked to wear the traditional Kippah to remind them that God is always above us. Texas flag themed, of course :)
Some photos from the beautiful ceremony:
Married!
(sorry about the pic quality, the lighting wasn't cooperating with my camera)
Onto cocktail hour:
Awesome! Pappa's catered the event with some excellent Tex-Mex foods:
We had quesadillas, an avocado bar, shots of poblano cheesy soup, grilled vegetable trays, and drinks on top of all of that. It was deluxe, and mega tasty!
Katrina, Amanda and Aaron
The curly girls! :)
OMG yum.
This blog is getting really long, so I am going to do a separate post for the reception portion of the evening....
