This past weekend at the Retreat at Balcones Springs, we welcomed the Moore and Stephenson families for the wedding of Katie Moore and Robert Stephenson!
Robert and Katie hosted a wedding weekend full of Texas Tech--their shared alma mater--spirit for their guests, taking full advantage of all the recreational opportunities Balcones Springs has to offer. Friday night after a small and intimate rehearsal dinner (featuring an emotional toast from the groom's brother), the wedding party had a beer and bonfire event at our fire circle, relaxing and enjoying each other's company in the great weather. Saturday, the wedding party and all other arriving guests spent the day kayaking, paddle-boarding, and blobbing in Lake Ted. Afternoon thunderstorms gave us all a scare for the evening wedding, but the skies cleared just in time for the bride and groom to take photos with camp's infamous "Cool" Bus. The couple held their ceremony in our Pavilion before enjoying a night of food, drink, and dancing in the Rio Grande dining hall.
Guest enjoyed petit-fours, cookies, lemon squares, and other sweet delights during cocktail hour before welcoming the newlyweds as they entered the reception to the tune of the Texas Tech fight song. Food, merriment, and dancing took control for the rest of the night. The next morning, guests relaxed to a hearty brunch before bidding adieu to the new couple.
We loved having such a fun, spirited group here this weekend for a beautiful wedding! It is always such a joy to share the camp and recreational facilities of Balcones Springs with our wedding and retreat groups. Thank you, Katie and Robert, for hosting such a picturesque and intimate wedding! We wish you the best in your lives together.
