Even grownups can’t resist the joy of reaching down into a festive holiday stocking on Christmas morning. On Dec. 25, 2014, that joy turned into utter elation, when the goodie Alex pulled out…was a dazzling custom-made engagement ring from Randy. The couple, both Houston attorneys, wed at The Astorian amidst dramatic decor by Todd Events featuring lush linens and mirrored finishes, beneath a ceiling covered with rose petals and butterflies—”the things loved by my late grandmother, who passed away last year,” Alex says. “I wanted to have her there in spirit, and know that she was smiling down from Heaven, happy with what I had created for my wedding day.”
