Michael and LaDonna’s Blog

During the ceremony, Michael whispered to his bride that the day couldn’t have been more perfect.  It truly was!  Brittany and Michael chose a beautiful outdoor wedding at Marie Gabrielle, surrounded by many devoted friends and family.   They each waited for the one they felt God had chosen for them, and held close the values they grew up with, and the friends they made.  It was worth the wait!  Brittany and Michael are so easy to love, so full of life and fun!  Beautiful and yet down-to-earth, sensitive and giving.

We loved the colors of teal and chocolate, and the guests loved the candy ‘bar’ waiting for them at the end of the night!  We also loved the Cowboys stadium groom cake, the vibrant bridal portrait by Jenny Martell Photography, and sparklers at the exit.

We begin at Abby’s home where everyone was busy getting ready and Abby could be heard singing a song about bells ringing on her wedding day… and outside, they were!  Abby and Ryan have a solid foundation in their families and faith, and an uplifting glow that comes from that love and devotion.   We so enjoyed getting to know these families!

It was a glorious day for their wedding at Fort Worth Presbyterian Church (officiated by the fathers of the bride and groom).  The reception at the Ashton Depot was BEAUTIFUL and fun!  Ice House had everyone on the dance floor, and the photo booth (boothBOOTH) was a big hit with the guests.  Darren Moll and his team at the Ashton served up an exquisite meal and an unforgettable night, complete with fireworks at the finish.  This elegant highlight video reflects their love of tradition, family, and their Christian faith.
