With increasing costs of operations for the parent company, McLeod Creative, we decided to restructure the business, reduce our full-time staff and go back to basics now that those systems are set up. I now divide my time between the home office and the downtown office (and Stella of course) and I will be handling all advertising. Sara Martisek and Bettie Billings are freelancing, helping with wedding fairs, deliveries and such, and Ashley Rippke is still helping design the magazine from her new digs in Nashville! Dan Gaines found a new home at Texas A&M Kingsville (where coincidentally his wife works - carpool!). They are lucky to have him and we’ll miss him! Please excuse our dust as we make this transition. Reducing costs for us will not affect the quality of the magazine or our future. In fact, we are still working on expanding, especially online. These changes mean our ad prices will not go up as our costs have inevitably gone up – good news for our loyal advertisers!! te iss S L it t l e M lla Ka Please don’t hesitate to call me at 361-887-5054 or email me at info@theone brideguide. com. And as always, thanks for your support! th le en Sa wy er President/Creative Director McLeod Creative & The One Bride Guide Cover Model: Shana Larson; Makeup and Hair: Dionicio Zamora Jr., Jaime Farrell & Patricia Flores; Lighting: J.R. Rios; Additional Crew: Chad Kramer, Amanda Carpenter, Bill Carpenter, Delores Swoyer, Jessica Hardy, and all the Bride’s mothers who attended; Venue: The Courtyard at Gaslight Square What was your inspiration for this shoot? I wanted to do something totally different and outside the box that would push "edgy" bridal portraiture into the world of fashion. The purpose was to show Brides that bridal portraits don’t have to be "dresses fanned out standing on a staircase". I drew inspiration from all the creative minds involved. What is the difference staging your own shoot as opposed to shooting “day of”? Bridal or Engagement shoots are very relaxed. We use this as a time to get the couple or Bride used to how we shoot, give her pointers on how to pose, and get them used to acting natural in front of my camera. We talk A LOT. I try to get to know them as best I can so that I can bring those personalities out on their wedding day. "Day of" is a bit different. Everyone gets so caught up in the flow of From left - standing: Cassandra Bartel, Lee Vo Advincula, Clarissa Horner, Shana Larson, sitting: Regan Carriger, Kayla Johnson, Courtney Laurence I love making my couples feel like rock stars. My portraits are a bit edgy, but I believe that’s what draws couples to my work. For the past few years, I’ve been exploring the world of what I call "foto couture". Foto couture is bridal portraiture with a high fashion flair. I start with the Bride and her dress, and add accessories that reflect her personality. It can be a flaming red pair of heels or oversized sunglasses, belts or chunky jewelry, whatever she likes, then I build a scene around her. The end result is a fresh, avant-garde twist to bridal portraiture. nny Reddehase Model: Jocelyn Castillo :J e Any special challenges? The original makeup artists we hired to fly in cancelled on me at 11pm the night before the shoot. I was making frantic calls until 1am trying to secure replacements. Luckily Jaime was finishing up at the Vogue school and had a wealth of talent to pull from. She brought Trish and Dionicio, who were absolutely AMAZING! Everything works out the way it’s supposed to because all three of them rocked! Another challenge was the time. With only 1 makeup artist and 3 hair stylists doing masks and elaborate hair designs, it took an unbelievable amount of time to complete the looks. Amanda stepped in and did the green mask on Cassandra. We had moms holding up props, throwing feathers, etc., it was a mess... but they all did absolutely great!! the day, they are able to forget I’m there. I get more natural reactions out of them. This is when I believe my knack for capturing the height of emotion shines. el Personally, I am experiencing a vintage theme of my own by becoming a mom! Stella Kathleen Sawyer was born on May 25th, 2010 weighing 8lbs, 13 oz, measuring 21.5 inches! My husband Ryan and I are exploring good ole' fashioned roles of husband and wife as I do most of the early nurturing while he takes on the hard work and stress of making sure the bacon shows up somehow. And sometimes that vintage theme goes all the way back to the caveman era as we work out our differences with our new responsibilities as mom and dad - especially me being a "working mom" and how that translates to sharing duties. Communication is key with a couple joined for life, and based on our success so far, I highly recommend graduating your twosome to a threesome or more by starting a family! This issue, we decided to open up The One cover to all photographers to submit their ideas. Sarah Diane Photography was our winning choice for this festive holiday season. od One of my delights in putting The One Bride Guide together is sorting through all of the photos contributed by the talented local photographers and discovering what trends have arrived based on the styles and techniques used in the photographs. In this issue of The One, the overwhelming theme is VINTAGE (with a little twist of avant-garde thrown in). From soft lenses to muted colors, vintage themes are coming up everywhere. Check out the Style section on page 8 for some of my favorites. Deux Boheme, a new photographer team to grace our pages, has a lovely vintage touch and we are happy they made it in the issue just in time! Welcome to The One! M www.sarahdianephotography.com 361-960-3689 Blessings in Disguise After shooting the cover, model Shana Larson was in a head-on collision. She escaped with minor injuries, but in the process, doctors discovered a mass on her spine which could have eventually severed the spinal cord causing her to become quadriplegic. After surgery and with the support of her husband, family, friends and great doctors, Shana was able to walk again on her own after 3 weeks. She continues to have numbness on her left side. This incident has taught her that "each day is truly a gift from God and events happen in our lives for a purpose". We wish Shana the best for a speedy recovery.

Chad’s art of the written word really started when he was a young boy. He would sit with his Great Grandmother, who was born in 1902, learning letterforms and how to grip his pen, finding joy in the swoops and depth of writing each letter. Over the years, Chad has spent over 500 hours studying the art of calligraphy, learning to mimic the style of famous documents of the 1800’s such as the Monroe Doctrine and the Declaration of Independence. His handwriting bears a striking resemblance to that of Thomas Jefferson. Handwriting comes very naturally to Chad Mixon and he found that people really enjoyed receiving letters and invitations using his special style of writing. His calligraphy has many uses, especially with weddings. Invitations, addressed envelopes, table place cards, menus and more can have that “personal touch” when individually hand written. Chad spends hours perfecting each word before writing each individual invitation. theonebrideguide.com “I write each name at least 5 times before committing to the final piece,” says Chad. “This develops muscle memory so there are no mistakes.” Chad usually completes a project, no matter how big, in one sitting to maintain consistency. Posture, angle of paper and the environment all can make a difference in the final quality of the product. • October 2010 – January 2011 Why should a Bride consider using hand-written calligraphy when there are so many font options? Because there is a richness to the items Chad Mixon produces. Guests receiving the invitation can tell that the piece was done by hand and this reflects a sentimentality you can never reproduce with digitally printed invitations. Guests know the piece took time, effort and thought to complete, which makes the guest feel special. “I like to sit with the prospective client to see exactly what they are looking for,” says Chad. “I can alter different letters and details to suit each client. You can’t do that with digital fonts.” {4} Vintage Style Calligraphy goes beyond just invitations. Unique gifts can be created using calligraphy. Poetry to your loved one is beautiful when reproduced by hand in 1800's style. A couple can have their vows written and framed to hang in their home. The gifts become history, treasured by generations.

Often presented in ornate boxes or gift trays, this also represents the Bride’s dowry and holds good wishes for prosperity. The number thirteen represents Christ and the twelve apostles. These coins become a part of their family heirloom and are often handed down from generations. The tradition originated in Rome and was later adapted by Spain. t N e w Wa v e P h o Weddings and tradition go hand in hand, but for many South Texas Brides, that tradition extends into the richness and vibrancy of the Spanish culture. The traditions hold great meaning and deep familial significance, and couples are able to express their commitment to each other and to the roles of husband and wife they are about to take on.

This extends to helping with the details of a wedding. The role of the Padrinos is to “sponsor” special aspects of the wedding, often financially, as a show of support for the Bride and Groom. This is a special way to involve more than just your wedding party in the wedding details, and the Padrinos are often recognized for their gift of the lasso, arras, bible, cake, DJ, etc. in the program and often announced at the reception. Padrinos of the ceremonial gifts such as the arras & lasso are usually chosen with great intention, often as a “godparent” role. Most commonly, those chosen are established couples whose own time-tested marriage can serve as an example for the newlyweds. Lasso/El Lazzo As a symbol of unity, a large loop of rosary beads or a lasso (cord) is placed in a figure eight shape around the necks of the couple after they have exchanged their vows. A special person or couple places the lasso around the shoulders of the Bride and Groom, Groom's shoulder's first. The couple wears the lasso throughout the remainder of the service. This gift is a symbol of the binding quality of love as a couple equally shares the responsibilities of marriage for the rest of their lives. It is often given a deeper spiritual meaning as the couple invites Christ to unify them through the trials of marriage. At the end of the ceremony, the lasso is removed by either the couple which placed the lasso on the Bride and Groom, or the priest. The lasso is given to the Bride as a memento of her becoming the mistress of the Groom's heart and home. a ve As Spanish cultures are often defined by their deep a ph rooted faith, Padriy nos commonly bestow upon the couple a family heirloom bible and a family rosary. Finally, if a ceremony is held in a church, the couple takes a moment near the end of the ceremony to carry a bouquet of roses to place at the feet of a statue of Mary, Mother of Jesus, followed by a silent prayer together often while zza Ph ot og r Arras The first to be presented are the Arras.

What marriage means to you: Bride & Groom: Marriage is a picture of the Gospel. The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church, willing to die for her. The wife is to submit to her husband as the church submits to Christ. We are getting married because we love each other, but more importantly, we want to correctly demonstrate the Gospel. Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Marriage is for happiness, but more importantly, it is for holiness. The longer we are married, the more we will understand the glorious covenant God has made with us, and praise Him all the more for his faithfulness and steadfast love! Advice for future Brides or Grooms: Bride & Groom: Don't let people stress you out about wedding planning… it's a celebration, just get excited! Any other information you'd like other couples to know: Bride & Groom: We want other couples to know what marriage really is. It is a beautiful covenant created by God, not to be broken, but to be faithfully nourished and cherished. We know that a good marriage cannot last without Jesus. We want Jesus to be the center of our marriage, and we want Him to be the center of yours too! Our desire for you is that you would come to know Jesus and His great love! Then as He sanctifies both of you, your marriage can emulate His love and faithfulness! theonebrideguide.com • October 2010 – January 2011 {13} April 24, 2010 Corpus Christi, TX engaged for 9 months Colors: Wisteria and ivory Number of guests: 250 Ceremony: St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles Catholic Church Reception: Texas State Aquarium Rehearsal dinner: Railroad Seafood Station - 70 guests Planner: Delma Yzaguirre (Bride's mother) Invitations: Papyrus, Dallas Dress: Mockingbird Bridal, Dallas/ Maggie Sottero Tuxes: Men's Wearhouse Bridesmaid dresses: David's Bridal Jewelry: Bailey, Banks and Biddle Hair & makeup: Fredi Guerrero/ Roxanne Decorations: La De Da Events Flowers: Blossom Shop Florist Food: Marco & Company Catering Cake: Sugarbakers theonebrideguide.com Registry: Macy's, Crate&Barrel & Kohl's Entertainment: Mystic Entertainment All photos by D&P Photography • October 2010 – January 2011 Ciera MilanYzaguirre & Louis Brandon Gianni Photographer: D&P Photography Videographer: D&P Photography 1st dance song: "When I Fall in Love" by Celine Dion & Clive Griffin Father-daughter dance song: "I Loved Her First" by Heartland Mother-son dance song: "Mama" by Boyz II Men Getaway vehicle: Limousine Wedding night lodging: The Omni Wedding favors: Photobooth by Image Cinema pictures {14} Bridal party gifts: Pearl bracelets & monogrammed jewelry bags/ cigar holder & cigars Honeymoon location: Belize Favorite detail: Bride: My bouquet.

Elegant granite flooring, ornate wood trim and a gorgeous one of a kind hand-strung chandelier greet you just as you step through the ornately scrolled front doors into the sophisticated foyer. theonebrideguide.com • October 2010 – January 2011 Mansion Royal is indeed the dream made reality of Myrna and Ramiro Puga, owners of Myrna’s Special Events. What originally began as an event decorating service fifteen years ago, has grown to a major, all-inclusive event hosting company at two separate venues. Crystal Reception Hall, located at Airline and Holly, was the first event venue opened under Myrna’s impeccable attention to style and detail. Mansion Royal, which opened two years ago, is the newest and largest of the two. Located just off of South Padre Island Drive, accessible via the Ennis Joslin exit, the grand exterior façade with luminous windows and a huge sculpted water fountain is only a taste of what lies within the appropriately named Mansion Royal. Mansion Royal boasts a facility with three banquet rooms and two ballrooms. The ballrooms can be separated or joined depending on event size. These spaces can host the most intimate party or shower of 50 to an event for as many as 1200 guests. Each of the spaces showcases the fine attention to detail that truly speaks to Myrna’s intention of creating a venue that makes special events extraordinary. Each of the ballroom and banquet rooms are incredibly elegant even before the tables and décor arrive. One of a kind hand-strung chandeliers grace the ceilings, doorways are framed by arches and pillars and an ornately scrolled grand staircase is a favorite portrait spot for Brides and Grooms. Myrna’s vision and designer taste reach to every corner - even the bathrooms are designed with exceptional class and ornate style! Myrna and her creative team were the first in Corpus Christi to boast a fully all-inclusive reception venue, complete with custom in-house décor, catering, cakes, table, chairs & furniture, DJ services, and best of all, a dedicated event coordinator to help bring the vision of your special day to life! Ida Young, office manager at Mansion Royal, explained that the coordinators dedicated to each client are what make both Mansion Royal and Crystal Reception Hall so unique. “There is nothing that can’t be done. We create events that can offer the most basic table décor and linens to the most over-the-top lighting, fabrics and custom details from feathers to sparkling crystals and more!” For every couple who books their wedding at Mansion Royal, they get a taste of the royal treatment during their one on one food tasting and design consultation. Based on the color scheme and tastes of each couple, the team of decorators at Mansion Royal lavishly set up a grouping of tables featuring a multitude of design options from centerpiece arrangements to plates, chargers, linens and chairs. I was given a chance to view the King Banquet room which was set up for such a consultation. It was a feast for the {28} eyes and an awe-inspiring experience. I marveled at the gorgeous arrangements and original design pieces that would make any event truly memorable. All in all, a Bride at Mansion Royal can rest assured, not only will her wedding guests enjoy the elegant and spacious accommodations, but the room will be absolutely radiant with the most personal attention to detail that will enhance the wedding day experience. Perhaps the truest testament to how Brides feel about their experience at Mansion Royal is that they return again and again! Ida explained that many of their former Brides have been returning to host baby showers, and family members & friends of the Brides have booked additional events due to their positive first-hand experience at Mansion Royal. Mansion Royal is located at 8001 South Padre Island Dr., Corpus Christi, TX 78412. Call (361) 985-9955 or visit their web site for more information: www.mansionroyal.com.

Brides always have the option of booking other wedding vendors on their own for their Mansion Royal wedding, but most Brides prefer the ease with which they can Myrna’s vision for what Mansion Royal can be is far from complete. Future plans to add an outdoor courtyard and gardens are well underway. Eventually the Mansion will offer the “Enchanting Garden” as a beautifully manicured outdoor space ideal for weddings and special events. theonebrideguide.com Beyond the style detail, the in-house catering services offer custom menu options that are tantalizing to say the least. There is nothing that can’t be done, and couples can feel confident that their guests will rave about the amazing food and appreciate the finelytuned catering staff that goes above and beyond high-end service no matter what the event! count on Mansion Royal to take the stress out of coordinating to deliver a seamless wedding experience. {29} Sixteen to Nine Months Eight Months Seven to Six Months Contact a designer about your wedding invitations Book rehearsal and rehearsal dinner venue Hire a calligrapher, if needed Check on printing of wedding invitations.

Keep a good attitude, be patient, and make sure to pick items you can live with for a long while. And guys, don’t ask WHY you need four different types of spoons. You never know when a spoon shortage is going to happen! But seriously, registering is a good thing. Your friends and family are provided with a list of gift items you actually want, instead of playing the guessing game about what in the world you might need for your new kitchen. Register for more than you think you’ll need and make sure you have lots of affordable items for all ranges of income levels. Keep this list handy while you are shopping and don’t get overwhelmed.

After those workouts our conversations changed from just the normal day to day exchange of information to deeper more important topics about ourselves and our relationship. It didn’t happen every time but I do remember several memorable conversations. It could have been the endorphins from the workout or that we felt connected from accomplishing a difficult task together. Whatever it was, it brought us closer together. Fit Bride By Adam Farrell M.S., CSCS Fit Bride, Fit Couple I remember before my wife and I were married we used to workout together on a regular basis (we still workout together, but not as often). We would meet at the gym before work and do Below are a few tips/ideas on either starting a workout program with your fiancé or how to invite him to join you for a workout: 1. Try a few fitness classes or fitness boot camps that work with both of your schedules. A lot of programs will offer free trials. Pick the class that fits both your goals, schedules and intensity levels. Make sure that the program you pick works with all of the three categories. 2. If your fiancé already works out, ask if you can join him during his next workout. If he gets weirded-out by the idea of you joining him, suggest that you both try a class together on the days he doesn’t workout. Try a class that will compliment his current workout and your fitness goals. 3. If you do join him for a workout, you don’t have to do everything he does. You can do a part of his workout and then do your own thing. Don’t use the time during the workout to catch up with each other. 4. Hire a personal trainer. Hire a trainer that works with pairs or small groups. Let the trainer know you want a written copy of three workouts with an explanation of each exercise so you and your fiancé can rotate through the three workouts together on your own. 5. Train for a Race. Pick an upcoming 5K or beginners Triathlon and begin training together. Plan out the days and times you will run together and hold each other accountable. Hire a coach if you have no idea where to start. 6. Join a sports league or take up an active hobby together. Sports leagues are great for bonding and can burn off a few calories. Beware of the beer leagues! As for hobbies, a two-person kayak is a great way to spend time together on our beautiful bay and get a killer upper body workout. I hope a few of these ideas have spurred some interest to broach the topic of spending quality time with each other while being active.
