You see the way he just holds on to her as if she were the most precious thing in the world? That\u2019s because <em>she is<\/em>. And he nearly lost her, and the person responsible for bringing her into this world. The day before the couple\u2019s July wedding, Stephanie and her mother were in a very serious car accident, one that injured Stephanie and sent her mother to the hospital by emergency transport. \u201cI did not go to sleep until 4 a.m.,\u201d Stephanie tells us. \u201cAll I could think about was the accident, and not the wedding. It wasn&#8217;t until I woke up that I realized, \u2018Oh my gosh, today is my wedding day!\u2019\u201d And despite her and her mother\u2019s physical pain, that wedding \u201cwas everything that I ever wanted,\u201d she says. Captured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/wedding_photography\/civic_photos.aspx\">Civic Photos\u2019<\/a> uniquely evocative, vintage-style images are all the rich, joyful colors, the magnificent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/Wedding_Cakes_Desserts\/Edible_Designs_by_Jessie.aspx\">Edible Designs by Jessie<\/a> cake, the lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/Reception_Venues\/Courtyard_on_St_James_Place.aspx\">Courtyard on St. James <\/a>grounds and ballroom, the affection of friends and family, and most of all the love of Stephanie\u2019s adoring groom, whom she met senior year in high school, and has been devoted to ever since. We\u2019re grateful to Civic Photos\u2019 Barrett Delyon Henry for sharing with us his iconic images. And we are so very thankful to Stephanie and Brandon for sharing their wedding with us, and reminding us all of the true meaning of that most meaningful day. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6405\" title=\"Brandon_Stephanie_Civic_Photos_1\"
