Houston residents Leslie and AJ met in 2021 at ACL music festival in Austin, Texas. Introduced by mutual friends, the pair opted to stay back and enjoy George Strait’s performance while their friends hurried to another stage. That night, Leslie and AJ sang, danced, and bought matching T-shirts. The two shared their first kiss, and a simple exchange of phone numbers turned into a lifelong romance.

Leslie and AJ embarked on a spontaneous trip to Mallorca, Spain, in 2023. Despite Leslie’s certainty that a proposal was not on the agenda, AJ had planned the perfect moment. Amidst the breathtaking Mediterranean sunset, AJ got down on one knee and asked Leslie to be his forever. A local photographer captured their joy, tears, laughter, and celebratory Champagne pop.

On May 4, 2024, after the couple exchanged heartfelt vows in a traditional church ceremony in Houston, guests were ushered to Le Tesserae for a grand reception. Leslie and AJ had the honor of being the first couple to celebrate their marriage at this exquisite new venue in Houston.

The venue’s old-world charm and modern design perfectly complemented the couple’s black and white color palette with mixed metals. The reception space was adorned with blooming florals, white wisteria and soft candlelight, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. Leslie slipped into an elegant Galia Lahav after-party dress as the evening continued, ensuring the festivities continued in style.
