    Elevator mishap doesn't derail the fun at this downtown Dallas wedding

    Diana Oates
    Dec 9, 2016 | 2:23 pm

    Amanda Waldman's cousin Alix first met Logan Sherman at a friend's engagement party. After being impressed with what she saw and knowing that Amanda was returning to Dallas for graduate school, Alix played cupid by grabbing Logan's phone and adding Amanda on Facebook.

    After chatting online, texting, and eventually a few phone conversations, it was decided that the two should meet up when Amanda came home for Thanksgiving. In fact, it was Logan who picked her up from the airport, and they had their first date, which involved pizza, beer, and Klyde Warren Park. It didn't take long for the bride to know he was "the real deal."

    It was two years later back at Klyde Warren Park that Logan popped the question. After surprising her by having both of their families there (when it was supposed to be a casual hangout with friends and pups), the soon-to-be groom got down on one knee.

    When it came to a venue and vibe, the couple knew early on what they wanted for their February 20 wedding. They selected The Joule hotel because of its top-notch accommodations and its modern design, which made their sexy-chic themed wedding come together in no time.

    "We wanted our guests to make our wedding weekend a vacation — come out, relax a little bit, and then go to a killer party," Amanda says. "This all as a token of our appreciation for the unconditional love and support we have received as a couple."

    The wedding ceremony took place on The Joule's rooftop terrace, which boasts an impeccable view of downtown Dallas. Branching Out Floral and Event Design transformed both the ceremony and reception with orchids galore, Amanda's favorite flower. An elegant, crisp white ceremony evolved into a beautifully bold and romantic dinner party.

    Post-ceremony, guests were escorted downstairs for cocktails and a reception that included dinner catered by the hotel, music by the Emerald City Band, and a photo booth by Run Loves Deep. Guests left with personalized koozies and breakfast tacos after saying goodbye to the bride and groom via a rose petal getaway.

    "Because we had an amazing wedding planner, team of vendors, and what we think is the best venue in Dallas, our wedding day was perfect and all of our dreams came true with very little stress," Amanda says.

    Except for one minor mishap: the groom, groomsmen, and rabbi got stuck in an elevator moments before the ceremony was set to begin. Both the Dallas police and fire departments swiftly swooped in to rescue the group, and the wedding festivities resumed.

    The bride took it all in stride, though — and looking back Amanda says it was one of her favorite moments of the wedding. Not too mention that it makes for a great story to tell their children.

    "Don't sweat the small stuff," she says. "There is no way you aren't going to have the most amazing day ever — even if your husband gets stuck in an elevator."

    Post Malone to headline 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball

    Post Malone will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on May 9, 2025.

    Superstar singer/rapper Post Malone will headline the 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch.

    "Cattle Baron's Ball is thrilled to announce Grammy-nominated global superstar Post Malone as the headlining entertainer for the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball, the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society," the organization announced in an email to subscribers on May 15.

    The 52nd Cattle Baron's Ball will take place October 25, 2025 under the leadership of co-chairs Courtney Derderian and Nina Sachse. They've chosen the theme "All Cylinders."

    Chandler Walters will be the VIP Stage Performer. He's best known as the writer of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's hit song "I Had Some Help" and is currently on tour with Post Malone.

    Post Malone is no stranger to DFW; his family moved to Grapevine when he was 10 years old when his dad got a job as manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.

    His most recent show in DFW was "Post Malone Presents: The BIG ASS Stadium Tour," which played to a rollicking crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday, May 9. The tour was in support of Post's debut country album, 2024's F-1 Trillion, his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and two songs from the album were also nominated for Grammys.

    Since 1974, Cattle Baron's Ball has raised over $105 million for cancer research. The 2025 ball is presented by Texas Oncology, with entertainment sponsored by White Rhino Coffee.

    The early-bird ticket deadline for the always sold-out ball has been extended to June 1, organizers say. Following that, all tickets, tables, and underwriting levels will increase by 10 percent. According to the website, ticket and table packages currently run $3,500 to $150,500.

    For more information, tables and tickets, visit the CBB website.
