Lauren & Dallas | July 20, 2019
Silver Oaks Chateau
Family Knows Best: The couple met at Maggie Malone’s among a group of friends. Each found the other cute, sure, but the real test? Whether Lauren could impress Dallas’ young niece and two nephews, whom she later met at his family’s weekly Mexican dinner night. Lauren passed, and the two felt what it would be like as a family. Dallas proposed in Destin, Florida, after spontaneously flying Lauren down to join him on a business trip (and even more spontaneously picking up a ring 12 hours before the flight). Lauren was totally surprised.
Ceremony & Reception: The venue’s tall windows served as a beautiful backdrop for this ceremony, which included a sand-blending ritual. Ivory and pastel flowers—and burgundy tuxes—lent a calm vintage feel. At the reception, guests laughed at Lauren’s attempt to serenade Dallas during the first dance. (They’d decided on the song “Where I Belong,” by Justin Lee, only two weeks earlier, so Lauren didn’t have much time to master the lyrics.) That moment perfectly captured the couple’s joyful nature.
