Almost never does it lead to getting\u2026<em>married<\/em>\u2014Christina and Kevin being the exception. \u201cI went to an all-girls high school and Kevin went to an all-boys high school. My friends and I called Kevin during a sleepover and forgot to dial *67. Kevin texted my phone back the next day and we started texting back and forth, eventually met, and the rest it history!\u201d And what a cute history it is. Knowing Christina\u2019s passion for the Houston Astros, Kevin used the ruse of a Minute Maid Park tour to propose to his future Mrs., while his family hid out in the dugout taking pix of the whole shebang. The pair wed in a traditional Catholic Mass followed by a reception for 230 of their nearest and dearest at the historic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_ceremony_receptions_locations\/Crystal_Ballroom_at_the_Rice.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Ballroom at The Rice<\/a>, done up in seasonal shades of peach, light orange and yellow. Traditional wedding rituals abounded, including a formal reception line, a marriage dance, a money dance, and bouquet and garter tosses. We\u2019re grateful to Christina and Kevin for sharing their classic and perfectly personalized Houston wedding with us. Thanks, too, to George Street Photography for the fine wedding photos!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10420\"
