The Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas is a true historic treasure. You can see more about it by clicking here and by going to my entry for October 24,2008. This past weekend, I was there to officiate Robin and Quentin’s wedding ceremony in which his children, Cole and Jocelyn, also participated. This couple wisely chose to include the children in the ceremony as flower girl and ring bearer, plus we added the “Celebration of the New Family” element in which the couple presented gifts to the children. Not only was it a wise decision by the newlyweds, it’s the kind of touching addition that most of their guests had never seen. Hardly a dry eye in the
house as Robin and Quentin presented the gifts to the children. The wedding and reception went very smoothly (and that’s an understatement) which is what I have come to expect from Shari Johns, owner of As You Wish weddings and events. Shari (see picture at right)
and her staff handle the details with ease, letting the bride relax and enjoy the ceremony. It has been my privilege to meet with brides at her office as well as see Shari in action on wedding day. She gets things done. No drama, no upsets, she just gets things done with style and attention to every last detail.
For Robin and Quentin’s ceremony, photography was handled by Joseph and Stephanie Ellis of Joseph Mark Photography and I appreciate them letting me use the two shots from the wedding. This husband wife team has an attribute I particularly appreciate in wedding photographers, namely that they got the great shots without ever intruding on the moment and or ever blocking anyone’s view of the ceremony.
If you get the chance to attend an event at Old Red, be sure you allow time to walk through the numerous exhibits and video displays. In one of the rooms, they’ve even got J. R. Ewing’s white Stetson hat in a display case.
Blessings,
