Brent and Alison were college sweethearts. they met in class Junior year at Texas A&M University where both studied Industrial Distribution. After graduation, Brent commissioned into the United States Air Force as an officer while Alison began working for Shell Oil Company. After 2 years of dating, Brent proposed under the Christmas lights in front of the River Oaks Country Club in Houston. For the wedding, they chose the Astin Mansion for a beautiful vintage. After the rehearsal dinner at Madden’s, Alison and her bridesmaids had a slumber party on the second floor of the Astin Mansion. In the bridal suite the next morning, the makeup artist and hair stylist worked their magic. Then the photographer arrived and Brent and Alison had a first look. As pre-wedding pictures were taken, the sky opened up and it poured down. They were very concerned that the ceremony would have to be moved inside, but the rain passed through. The ceremony was beautiful and the dinner that followed was delicious. The décor was perfect from the flowers and place cards to the personal touch of a monogram on the mirror in the blue room.
