My lovely niece Lauren married Troy Davis at the Winfield Inn in Kyle, Texas on April 6th. It was an incredibly beautiful wedding. I love the Winfield Inn, the weather was beautiful, the bride was gorgeous, and I had the privilege of being the photographer with all of our family there.
I have known Lauren since she was born when her father John (Nancy’s brother) lived in Houston as an air traffic controller. Nancy and I made frequent trips to see them with our firstborn, Ryan. The two of them pretty much grew up together. At the time, I was also doing flight instruction, so I have some good stories about chatting with John about Christmas planning while flying into Houston over the approach control frequency. And many more. Don’t get me started on flying and air traffic control stories!
Lauren’s Mom, Debby, passed away in a plane crash when Lauren was young. The yellow rose that John held during the father daughter dance was in remembrance of Debby. It was very moving and more than a few tears were shed thinking of Debby. That only added to the meaningfulness of this wonderful celebration. Congratulations Lauren and Troy!
