MEREDITH CONRAD & TRAVIS REDMON 9 | 21 | 2013 by stephanie zeilenga | photos by cary klein photography ON THE DAY THEY BECAME HUSBAND AND WIFE, Meredith Conrad and Travis Redmon stood on the balcony of the Chase Park Plaza overlooking a blue sky filled with floating balloons from the Forest Park Balloon Race. Four years earlier, Meredith, who moved to St. Louis as a child, met Texas-born Travis in Dallas at a college football game. Travis proposed in 2012, when the pair traveled to check out Richmond, Va., where he was to do his medical school residency. The couple exchanged vows at St. Francis Xavier College Church, which Meredith attended growing up. The officiating priest was Meredith’s great-uncle, who also married her parents and grandparents. Although it was pure coincidence that the Balloon Race took place on the same weekend, it added to the memorable evening. “The Chase has these big, beautiful terraces with views of downtown, the Arch and Forest Park,” Meredith says. “Everyone came to the reception early so they could watch the balloons take off.” The evening included an elegant meal of petite filet and grilled salmon, a late-night snack of Ted Drewes—and a little impromptu Irish dancing by the bride. “I grew up Irish dancing in St. Louis, and there was a group of guests who had danced with me as a child,” Meredith says. The Redmons live in Richmond, Va., where both work at VCU Medical Center—Meredith is a nurse in the pediatric ICU and Travis is in his second year of residency in emergency medicine. ] [ resources ] [ wedding party ] MAID OF HONOR | Jillian Conrad BRIDESMAIDS | Elizabeth Hill, Misty Engelbrecht BEST MAN | Ryan Warren GROOMSMEN | Robert Wallace, Major Jones BRIDE’S PARENTS | Peter & Jane Conrad of Clayton GROOM’S PARENTS | Synthia Redmon of Kingston, Okla.

on the Day they beCaMe husbanD anD wife, Meredith Conrad and Travis Redmon stood on the balcony of the Chase Park Plaza overlooking a blue sky filled with floating balloons from the Forest Park Balloon Race.

Four years earlier, Meredith, who moved to St. Louis as a child, met Texas-born Travis in Dallas at a college football game. Travis proposed in 2012, when the pair traveled to check out Richmond, Va., where he was to do his medical school residency.

The couple exchanged vows at St. Francis Xavier College Church, which Meredith attended growing up. The officiating priest was Meredith’s great-uncle, who also married her parents and grandparents.

Although it was pure coincidence that the Balloon Race took place on the same weekend, it added to the memorable evening. “The Chase has these big, beautiful terraces with views of downtown, the Arch and Forest Park,” Meredith says. “Everyone came to the reception early so they could watch the balloons take off.”

The evening included an elegant meal of petite filet and grilled salmon, a late-night snack of Ted Drewes—and a little impromptu Irish dancing by the bride. “I grew up Irish dancing in St. Louis, and there was a group of guests who had danced with me as a child,” Meredith says.

The Redmons live in Richmond, Va., where both work at VCU Medical Center—Meredith is a nurse in the pediatric ICU and Travis is in his second year of residency in emergency medicine.
