A Rustic Wedding at Memory Lane Event Center in Dripping Springs, Texas

Megan Blackburn (25 and an engineer) and Joseph Grund (24 and an engineer) met the first day of classes at Texas A&M University and went on their first date four days later. On their four year anniversary, Joseph planned a whole day of surprises and ended the night at a suite on the top floor of Hotel ZaZa in downtown Houston. When the couple exchanged anniversary gifts, Joseph gave Megan a digital picture frame filled with images of them throughout the years; the last image was a box. Joseph then got down on one knee and asked Megan to marry him. Megan and Joseph had an intimate wedding ceremony at the Memory Lane Event Center in Dripping Springs, Texas. The venue offered an outdoor space on a hill with a view of the Texas Hill Country that won the couple over. The couple wanted their wedding to feel casual and rustic, so they chose neutral colors with coral accents. The reception was relaxed, and included a slideshow of pictures of the couple that the bride’s father had prepared for all the guests to view. “The most special part was that since we had such a small wedding, we were able to spend time with each and every single one of our guests,” says Megan. “The guests were what really made the night special!”
