Stephen and Shalyn's Wedding in Rockwall, Texas

The story of our wedding

Stephen and I are both lawyers and we met in law school 7 years ago. We had a real royal affair at The Castle at Rockwall outside of Dallas, Texas. Our wedding was absolutely perfect... until the ceremony. Stephen is a twin, and his twin brother was his best man. Somehow the bridal party lined up without Stephen and he missed the bride coming down the aisle! No one noticed he was missing because they saw his twin! His brother ran out the room to fetch him and the room sighed of relief when they both returned. The party was full of love and we were so happy to finally be husband and wife. The day was organized simply: Guests were staying at the host hotel in downtown Dallas and we had a shuttle transport them to and from the venue.The bridal party came early for hair and makeup, and photos. The ceremony was at 4 pm and followed by a cocktail hour while the family took photos. We had our first dance immediately after and blessed the food. While guests got seated before helping themselves to the buffet, I changed dresses. Speeches followed dinner, and then the mother/son and father/ daughter dance. Then the dance floor opened up! The venue had a photo booth built into the bar area where we had open wine and beer all night. The cake was red velvet (our favorite), and we had a donut bar!Vendors:
