For her Christmastime wedding to Andrew, Laura got her wish, when days of rain gave way to a brisk, beautiful evening, just in time for her dream wedding. “We were married in front of the huge, fully lit oak tree on the meadow of The Houstonian," Laura says. “The weather was perfect, with a slight nip in the air. Our guests were served apple cider and hot chocolate to warm themselves up during the ceremony, with naughty and nice versions of both.” Post-ceremony, guests moved into the hotel’s Grande Ballroom, where a live band kept the crowd dancing—and kept the newlyweds appropriately elated all night long: “We kept high-fiving each other, saying, ‘We did it! We’re married!’”
