David enjoys a dance with his new bride, who arrived in a cocktail-length wedding dress that fit the evening's theme. "It even had circles on it!" she says.
Anne and David in Dallas, TX
A ceremonial ode to one couple's eternal symmetry
From the very first day that Anne Parke met David Hines at Unity Church in Dallas, the pair felt a spark. "Our worlds collided," Anne says. But they had a few obstacles to face. Both had been married before and Anne had three sons from a previous marriage. As soon as they began dating, it became clear that David was the man for Anne—and her family. "What told me it was right was that my boys were so comfortable and willing to accept this new person in their lives," she says.
David invited Anne to join him in Austin for a weekend. When she arrived, David brought her to the docks at a local resort. She saw rose petals floating in the water and knew something was up. David had enlisted his mother to help him cover a boat with roses. The boat set out, and at sunset, David produced the ring he and Anne had designed together.
