Following a beautiful ceremony at Shandon United Methodist Church, Arden Phillips and John Stone celebrated at The Lace House at Arsenal Hill. One of their favorite memories is having dinner on the balcony above the front porch while watching family and friends prior to joining the reception. They honeymooned in Oahu and Maui and then flew straight to Chicago, where they will live while John gets his MBA at Northwestern University. Jessica Roberts Photography
