Washingtonian Happy couple Magazine Real Weddings with Rodney Bailey Photography4270321
The bride`s Greek roots as well as the groom`s Scottish heritage combined in the over-the-top celebration. When Sabrina Bells, for restaurants manager, met Bancroft Henderson, an analyst, in a rooftop pool party at her condo in Arlington, she i never thought love could hit so near home. But after three and a half numerous years of dating, Bancroft proposed-right from the identical view-friendly spot where they first laid eyes on every other. “We were supposed to go to a birthday dinner using a group of friends,” says bride. “As i was leaving my apartment, Bancroft claimed there was a green light illuminating the Washington Monument anf the husband took it up to the rooftop pool to check out.” Confused, Sabrina followed Bancroft upstairs to get the terrace encircled by candles, using a bottle of Champagne and roses waiting only for her to convey yes. A ceremony that elegantly wove Sabrina’s Greek Orthodox roots with Bancroft’s Scottish heritage followed nine months later, on September 15, 2012.
