Erika worked as a physician, and Steve as an engineer. The couple later discovered they had received orders to the same base in England but were rerouted to New Mexico. &#8220;It was almost as if the universe was conspiring to bring us together,&#8221; the bride says.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On June 3, 2023, Erika and Steve wed with an intimate and romantic wedding ceremony. Erika walked down the aisle glowing in chic, natural, glam-inspired hair and makeup from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/lilly-bridal-artistry-llc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lilly Bridal Artistry<\/a>. The couple&#8217;s color scheme was an array of hues from ballet pink to dark green.<\/p>\n<p>After the ceremony, guests rode trollies to the Houston Museum District for the wedding reception. &#8220;This was a fun, picture-perfect method of transportation,&#8221; the bride says. The couple&#8217;s charming museum reception perfectly combines sophistication and the couple&#8217;s playful personality through their details, florals and lighting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/cakes-by-gina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cakes by Gina<\/a> created a stunning three-tier wedding cake decorated with white roses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We loved dancing under the dinosaurs and think our friends and family enjoyed it just as much as we did,&#8221; the bride says.<\/p>\n<p>Keep scrolling for all the charming
