Vows, vacations, memories and more

From the frolicking green hills of Ireland to the painted desert of Santa Fe and back to London’s legendary Holland Park, WL was there to celebrate with some Washington’s best known newlyweds.

Although Tahiti might be warm and beautiful, there is nothing like having a Washington society wedding right at your doorstep—we don’t call it ‘America the beautiful’ for nothing! Speaking of beautiful, we couldn’t help but include the stunning Angela McGlowan and her husband John Venners in the Society Wedding feature. Angela McGlowan is host of the Fox Channel’s “Street Talk” in New York,a former DC beauty queen, and Miss America pageant contestant; John Venners is CEO of Veneers Group in Fairfax and a handsome fellow in his own right.

For the ceremony, the bride wore a tastefully selected Vera Wang gown. The church was filled with hundreds of flowers that perfumed the air and gave way to an afternoon fit only for a king and queen in love. After they vows exchanged vows, the happy couple celebrated with 250 of their closest friends at Sequoia Restaurant on the waterfront in Georgetown. The menu included Pumpkin and Pear Sachotte finished with truffle cream, fresh Apple and blue cheese baby greens with cider vinaigrette, yellowfin Tuna with lime soy and ginger, grilled lamb chops with wine sauce, chocolate dipped strawberries, and last but certainly not least, a wedding cake and flutes of champagne. Guests danced the night away until the bride and groom retired to their yacht—the happy couple honeymooned in Italy.
