Brandy Semore and Dylan Goodwin
April 2009
Petroleum Club, Oklahoma City
Brandy and Dylan were and are exceptional. She, so elegant and sure of herself - He, truly thoughtful and perceptive.
Brandy was in LOVE with the West view from the 36th floor. Unfortunately, at the rehearsal we discovered that the ceremony time caught the sun just before (instead of after) sunset. The light was literally blinding to the seated guests. Although her mother and I did our best to convince Brandy that changing the orientation of the room to face the North would be a worthy option- she persisted. Well... Brandy was right. On the day of her wedding the skies were unsettled. Mostly sunny gave way to partly cloudy which gave way (30 minutes prior to the ceremony) to the most amazing line of thunderstorms rolling in from Western Oklahoma. We were treated to a background of wildly streaking lightning- bright white against a cornflower blue sky and cotton candy cumulus clouds.
Once retiring to the reception, guests had a view from North, through West to South, as a continuous light show provided as much beauty as the elegant 35th floor ballroom!
Guests danced the night away before sending Brandy and Dylan off into the night through a waving sea of sparklers (this is where I simply must interject that I detest sparkler exits- If I'm planning your wedding, and you REALLY want one, I'll do it, but just know that I detest them and I've got umpteen work outfits with burn holes in them to prove it)(okay back to the story). Thankfully the rain made its exit just before the guests made theirs!
Thanks to Tammy Odell for the beautiful photos.
And... a great big congratulations to Brandy and Dylan who will welcome a little Goodwin next summer!
