Washingtonian Wedding couple Magazine Real Weddings with Rodney Bailey Photography1502338
The bride`s Greek roots along with the groom`s Scottish heritage combined within an over-the-top celebration. When Sabrina Bells, a nearby restaurant manager, met Bancroft Henderson, an analyst, at a rooftop pool party at her condo in Arlington, she i never thought love could hit so all-around home. But after 3 . 5 a lot of dating, Bancroft proposed-right from the identical view-friendly spot where they first laid eyes on each other. “We were designed to check out a birthday dinner with a number of friends,” says the bride to be. “As we had arrived leaving my apartment, Bancroft claimed that there was a green light illuminating the Washington Monument and that he wanted to go up to the rooftop pool to check on against each other.” Confused, Sabrina followed Bancroft upstairs to find the terrace encircled by candles, having a bottle of Champagne and roses waiting just 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.
