Washingtonian Groom and bride Magazine Real Weddings with Rodney Bailey Photography593318
The bride`s Greek roots and also the groom`s Scottish heritage combined in an over-the-top celebration. When Sabrina Bells, for restaurants manager, met Bancroft Henderson, an analyst, at the rooftop pool party at her condo in Arlington, she never imagined love could hit so all-around home. But after 3 . 5 years of dating, Bancroft proposed-right from the exact same view-friendly spot where they first laid eyes on every other. “We were meant to visit a birthday dinner with a number of friends,” says bride. “As i was leaving my apartment, Bancroft claimed that there was obviously a green light illuminating the Washington Monument and that he wanted to go to the rooftop pool to test against each other.” Confused, Sabrina followed Bancroft upstairs to obtain the terrace encircled by candles, which has a bottle of Champagne and roses waiting exclusively for her to express yes. A ceremony that elegantly wove Sabrina’s Greek Orthodox roots with Bancroft’s Scottish heritage followed nine months later, on September 15, 2012.
