Dallas, Texas: It was a humid, sun-drenched, June evening when Larry first proposed a date at the delightful Bistro 31, where his legal and business acumen could be appreciated more than the sweat on his brow mimicking a scene from Ben Hur, due to the Texas heat.

On the first date, Heather, a dermatologist with a background in fine art, her skin glowing from a recently employed chemical peel and the Texas summer, basked in the charming, slightly wonkish personality of Larry.

She found his bookish demeanor and his athletic build, developed over decades playing tennis and padel, immediately enticing. He quickly realized that she not only had a deep knowledge of obscurely named skin diseases, but also possessed superlative domestic skills, and a strong love of friends and family.

The attraction was mutual and immediate. The first date ended with Larry suggesting a second -- dinner at the Dallas Petroleum Club, which was not, as Heather initially thought, a hipster jazz-club inspired by the Cuban jazz ensemble The Buena Vista Social Club. Rather, it was an elegant and traditional downtown club founded in the 1930s by local oilmen.

It is at this iconic downtown Dallas locale that we look forward to celebrating our upcoming wedding with our dearest loved ones.

We cannot wait to share our joy with all of you!
