A Winter Celebration at Old Bethany

A Winter celebration at Old Bethany featured, a romantic dress, velvet green dresses, dark burgundy roses and a couple that clearly loved to play. I met Mandi and Marco after chatting with her a few different times. I could tell she had an amazing personality and was so easy to talk to.

We officially met in the sweltering heat of Texas at the Carleen Bright Arboretum.  But that didn’t slow us down. I knew from then on they were going to be fun.

From a toasty day to a crisp December one, Old Bethany was the perfect backdrop for their wedding.

A calm peace surrounded their preparations. Family gathered to say hello to Marco, while Mandi shared special moments with her bridesmaids and her parents. They were both at ease, ready to be married.

The moment arrived and Marco’s eyes glistened as Mandi approached him. They celebrated their married with a kiss and Mandi’s lip stick smeared over Marco. They cracked up together and laughed all the way back into the reception space.

This crew did not disappoint, and for the rest of the night they danced and partied while always including us in the celebration. I believe at one point a guest offered Eric a fireball shot….how could he say no to that?

That’s how they were. They made you feel like you were hanging with your friends, but then that’s how Mandi and Marco were from the first moment Eric and I met them. A couple that plays together, stays together. Wishing you both all the best in the world.
