Rich and Laura met at Texas A&M University, and worked together on a project during their last semester where Rich headed up the team.
“He used to be my boss, but now the roles are reversed”, Laura now jokes.
While working together they found that they both had a mutual love for the outdoors; hunting, fishing, and long walks in a local park. Everytime they took a walk, they would stop at a certain bridge, and share a kiss.
On one such occassion, Rich kept stopping before the bridge, stalling, and Laura kept pulling him forward. He finally got her to stop….and he proposed to her. Laura screamed, “Yes!” and then they spent the next 20 minutes walking around the park, calling everyone on their cell phone, spreading the happy news. The kiss they shared at the bridge that day, was an especially happy one.
These two adorable redheads relish family and their families’ long standing Eastern European traditions. Their Catholic faith is also very important to them, so they married at the church they attend together, St. Jude Catholic Church of Allen, TX. Laura cried as she approached the altar, and I smiled as I saw Rich reach into his pocket to pull out a hankerchief. A full mass wedding followed.
After the wedding, the couple took off for their reception at the Hilton Garden Inn, also in Allen. A large buffet greeted them, and then the dancing and festivities began. Lots of Polka, and even a big Grand March which included all the guests. The guests were having a blast! There were some TERRIFIC dancers there.
Worn out, the couple finally left for their hotel room, which had secretly decorated by the bride’s maids. They had adorned the room with roses, snacks, and bath goodies. The following day, the couple left for their beautiful honeymoon in sunny Mexico.

We have two ways about going with album design at Visions In White. The first way, is that the bride and groom get to choose all the photos, and I come up with a design to showcase them. After the design is done, the bride and groom can make changes if they wish. The second option, is just to tell me to run wild.
For the following album, the couple’s chose their photos, and here is the design I came up with for them.
