The Wait

by Kenneth Castano Worth

Joseph took Haley on a shopping trip and then to the Woodlands Waterway. Haley immediately recognized Joseph’s strange behavior and already suspected something special was going to happen. She tried not to get her hopes up, but the moment she had been waiting for eight and a half years was about to unfold for her.

Wedding Locations

After much research, Haley was enamored by the Mia Bella Wedding and Event Center. Mia Bella features an entrance courtyard, complete with fountain, a beautifully intimate ceremony site (both indoors and outdoors), and a lavish ballroom and reception area. The team at Mia Bella worked with Haley and Joseph to make sure their wedding day ran smoothly and without a hitch during the early days of the pandemic.
