FROM ROMANCE ON THE RIVER WALK TO. . . ROMANCE IN THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY - Part 2

By
Real Estate Agent with RETIRED

 

Judi & Don As many of you already know, Don & I were married at Marriage Island on the San Antonio River Walk on Saturday, November 3, 2007.  I promised pictures. . . here they are. 

Shortly after the ceremony and posing for photos, we and our wedding guests left the River Walk and drove north of downtown to The Scenic Loop Café.  It had been a beautiful day and the evening was just as beautiful.  The sky was clear and the temperature in the high 60's.  Our tables were set-up on the Arbor Patio, near the stage and waterfall - a beautiful setting.  The Bob Ford Band was performing that evening and the music was great!  Here are pictures of our evening there

                            dinner at Scenic Loop Cafe 

 The Scenic Loop Café, located just a few miles west of IH-10 W on Boerne Stage Road, was opened in 1991 in the Texas Hill Country.  It's a place where we can wear our jeans, boots and hats for a casual evening or dress up in our finery depending on our mood or occasion.  The menu ranges from prime steaks & seafood to Tex-Mex, burgers, and salads.  They also host special events, such as Company Meetings and Holiday Parties, Wedding Rehearsal Dinners & Receptions.  On Friday and Saturday Nights from 8 to 11 pm there is Live Entertainment out on the Patio.  They also host a Weekend Breakfast with a breakfast menu that makes my mouth water just thinking of it. 

If you haven't been to The Scenic Loop Café, you should consider going there for your next evening out. I look forward to seeing you there.  Feel free to stop by our table to say Hi!

We stayed on the Riverwalk at the Westin and had a balcony overlooking the River on Christmas Eve a couple of years ago, we went with friends.  I loved it!  The Westin is great!  Congrats and Best Wishes to you and your new hubby!

Very romantic place for a wedding! I was at the Riverwalk years ago for a work function and remember that I wished my now-husband was with for a ride on the boats. Beautiful...Congrats!

Ricki, thanks for stopping by.  Got the Sting Bee Gone but haven't tried it yet.  Seem to be managing the Cedar allergy with the allergy meds from the doctor now.  I will check out those 33 acres.

Cindy, Thanks for the congrats and best wishes.  The Riverwalk is a beautiful and romantic location for a wedding -- especially Marriage Island.  Lots of weddings take place there.  Marriage Island can be reserved for 30 minutes at a time -- just long enough for a wedding ceremony -- of course, there's a fee involved but it's reasonable -- the location makes it all worth it.

Teri, Thank you for the congratulations!  If you too the river cruise the tour guide probably pointed out Marriage Island during the tour.  I remember taking my first river cruise and how I was impressed when the guide told us the story about Marriage Island.  Never thought I'd get married there though.

Jude, I would love it! I don't think I've ever seen Marriage Island. I remember when I was there a few months ago for my granddaughter's cheerleading competition we went into a restaraunt that was like the Rain Forest...it was sosososososo cool. I want to go back and eat there! It made me feel like I was at Disney World.

Judi - Your blog just keeps coming back alive.  Maybe you can blog about your first anniversary when it rolls around. Tell Don hello for us.

Judi - We missed your first anniversary, a belated Happy Anniversary. Hard to believe it has already been a year, time just seems to fly. You owe us lots of pictures, your garden, the wedding, and now the Christmas Theme so get busy gal. We want pictures, we want pictures, we want pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Don.

Hi Carl & Ceil, I haven't been to this post in awhile.  :)  We celebrated our 1st Anniversary on November 3rd.  I had planned to write a post about it but was busy and ran out of time (as usual). 

I have lots of posts on my list to write and lots of pictures to go with them.  November has been a busy month -- lots of responsibilities with being 4th V.P. of The Woman's Club of San Antonio.  The lady who was originally holding that office had to resign and I took over just as the club is gearing up for one of our busiest times of the year.  Decorating the house for the Holidays and The Annual Christmas At The Mansion.  We hope to finish decorating the house on Friday -- that'll give me time over the weekend to post pictures of the ladies decorating and pictures of the completed job.
