Rosie Center & Geoff Dunham
May 13, 2023
Though Rosie Center and Geoff Dunham had attended the same high school, it took a setup by Rosie’s sister for the two to cross paths. They met at José on Lovers in summer 2020, and the rest was history. “I immediately loved how calm he is,” says Rosie. “He brings a sense of peace to me and makes me feel like I can just be who I am.” After almost two years of dating, Geoff proposed during a stroll around Lakeside Park—under the guise of taking Rosie’s nephew to feed the ducks. To honor their love of the outdoors, the couple chose a garden-themed reception with all the touches of home at the Dallas Arboretum’s Camp House.
One perk of having the Camp House as your venue is the views of White Rock Lake it provides. Though the forecast called for rain, the newly minted Dunhams were treated to gorgeous weather and an amazing sunset, visible through the clear-sided tent. “Everyone was watching the sunset and taking photos,” Rosie remembers.
“Blush looked really pretty on everyone,” says Rosie. Her two matrons of honor, her sisters, wore Marchesa Notte dresses in a slightly darker tone of dusty rose with a print; her other bridesmaids wore a mix of lighter versions of the same gown or a solid. “I knew I wanted a mix,” she adds.
