Courtney & Patrick in Houston, TX

Creative couple Courtney Marshall and Patrick Whitman met at art school at the University of Texas at Austin, but it was Patrick's chosen proposal site that was the true work of art. On the last night of a whirlwind trip to London and Paris, Patrick, an attorney, was adamant about catching the light display at the Eiffel Tower. Just as the spectacle faded to black, Patrick got down on one knee to ask Courtney to marry him. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! says Courtney, a graphic designer. Nearly two years later, the couple brought that European vibe -- this time with a Spanish influence -- to their artistic afternoon affair.
