When Angela McCool met Russ Perry at a dinner party, they both had dates. “But the moment we met, there was an instant buzz between us,” Angela recalls. While everyone gathered for a group cooking session, Angela could feel Russ cooking something up between them. The next week, Russ tracked down Angela’s phone number and quickly asked her out. Their first date lasted a whole weekend, and seven years later—after a Christmas Eve proposal and a 15-month engagement—they said “I do.” Celebrating ANGELA McCOOL & RUSSELL PERRY THE DETAILS: Ceremony Site: Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh | Photographer/Studio: Jessica D’Onofrio Photography | Bridal Gown Designer: Lazaro Bridal Gown Retailer: StarDust Celebrations | Hair & Makeup: Adina Wright | Groom’s Attire: Vera Wang | Bridesmaids Dresses Designer: Jim Hjelm; Amsale | Bridesmaids Dresses Retailer: Nordstrom; StarDust | Flowers: Lush Couture Floral | Reception Site: Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh | Stationery: The bride | Cake: Fancy Cakes by Lauren Caterer: Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh | Band and/or DJ: LeForce Entertainment | Lighting: LeForce Entertainment | Videographer: Splendor Films Wedding Rentals: TLC Event Rentals | Wedding Planner: Kristin Butler, Fabulous Fête AS SEEN IN 76 D WEDDINGS SPRING/SUMMER 2014 DWEDDINGS.COM
