Christina and Jamie - Fireman's Hall, Thorndale

This was one "laid back" couple! No anxiety, simple wishes, lots of friends, a huge party and ton's of fun. Christina and Jamie decided to have a very intimate church ceremony. They invited only a few close friends and family members. Christina was thrown a curve ball when a freak summer storm popped up and they lost electricity to where she was getting ready, but she still arrived before the ceremony was due to begin. She wore a beautiful beaded short dress. The couple met in the sanctuary and walked down the aisle together. A very heartfelt message from the minister and then some formal pictures before heading to the Fireman's Hall. Christina told me they told 480 people about the reception, no formal invitations were sent. The hall could easily hold crowd of about 350. After a delicious BBQ meal the party started with a grand march followed by lots of boot scooting. I failed to mention that Christina changed into red boots...too cute. Evidently, there is a Thorndale tradition to raffle off an item to fund the couple's honeymoon. We have never seen this before but what a great idea! Heavy interest in the Yeti cooler totally yielded enough cash to easily fund a dream honeymoon. Super cool. Jamie is an Austin firefighter and Christina works for TDI.
