The fact that the magical matrimony date was on St. Patrick's Day, just added to the fun and frivolity of the delightful Newsome wedding! From the beginning of the planning stages, when we knew it was happening on March 17th, until the final moments, it was magic and special. These two are made for each other, and just getting to watch them attempt to put together their forever cross at the altar during the ceremony was enough to convince us that they're the ultimate team! We're so proud of them both, and wish them many, many years of wonderful happiness. We're also excited that Joshua may be coming back to the chapel to help us out from time to time with his excellent 'entertainment' sk
I love the look on Lorie's face in this photo..."look what I won!"... The newest Mrs. Davis is truly blessed and loves her some Keith, so it's all good. What a tremendous wedding...and primarily because it turned out EXACTLY as they had wished! Laid back, elegant and comfortable were their goals, and they got all three. Guests had an excellent time and it was lovely all the way around. We even got to have the ceremony outdoors, despite the strong winds from the North! Wow! The wind even knocked over a bench, but no guests were harmed in the filming of this wedding! Congratulations, Lorie & Keith, and we're already looking forward to seeing you two later this week! The basic constr
Who traveled the furthest for Wedding Homecoming Dinner this year? That's right, Kristi & Lynn! All the way from Arizona! We were so thrilled to have them here, and so glad they could 're-visit' their special place from their special day. Denise is working with Jennifer and me to get the photos of all our WHD couples out here little by little....but I'm usually the hold up....we'll get there. Patience. Patience! A red-letter day at the chapel today! Lorie & Keith were here to set up for their spectacular wedding celebration in just a very short time. Things look great, and she's using color combinations we haven't in the past, and we love it! Lots of beautiful lace and a genuine sen
One of the genuinely excellent parts of being able to custom craft each and every wedding at the chapel is the opportunity to use our personal collection of cool, old stuff! From antique cups and saucers, to vintage cake plates, to one.of.a.kind old-school dinner plates, etc., it's all like no other place we know. So many of our brides are swept away by the vintage elegance and rustic uniqueness of our special place. We're so blessed by the facility, but also so very blessed that just.the.right brides and grooms come to trust us with their biggest of days! Thank you, God! ...Preparation begins TODAY on L&K's big day, and we can't wait! Tables up, light the lights, get some chargers out
Who is the NEWest Caliber Oak baby?!?! That's right, Miss Heidi Rae Mastrilli! She declared her independence from Molly yesterday morning, and it's fitting that it was Texas Independence Day! We couldn't be happier for two people we love greatly and now love a third, already! It's such a wonderful feel when the couples who are married here become parents...kind of completes a cycle, and we get to feel like we've been a small part of that story. Cannot wait to meet the new Miss M, and congratulations, again, to Molly and Matthew on such a beautiful aquisition! The chapel will be rather quiet today, but that all changes tomorrow... Today, we get to visit with one of our married couples a
