Abby and I are huge Wortham Theatre fans! There was a time in the not so distant past, that Broadway musicals, Houston Ballet and The Grand Opera had an enormous impact on our lives. Houston's theatre arts district is an inspiration in and of itself! So when we received these photos from Jeanie and Chris' wedding at the Wortham Theatre ... well, we were thrilled!
