By Christine Dobbyn Tuesday, June 07, 2016 08:40PM HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Katie Sherborne is an attorney by day and a self-proclaimed nerd. "I was always a nerd, growing up, today," said Sherborne.

So when the new Burke Baker Planetarium at the Museum of Natural Science announced a contest for the first wedding under the stars, she entered her story.

My youngest son — the baby in our family — got married last weekend. Was I ready? Is any mother ever ready? My speech (Keep it short, Mom, I am warned) was written. My dress (Don’t go too fancy, Mom) had been altered. My hair (Please don’t go for the wild, curly look, Mom) had been colored and cut. My photo list (Mom, go easy on the amount of pictures you are requesting we take) was submitted. Along with who sits with whom. All was ready, except me. I was not ready to let go — to give this son to another woman and to share him with so many. Read more from the Huffington Post

Gina Rivera Founder, Phenix Salon Suites    Wedding season is on the doorstep, close on the heels of prom season, and we’re seeing some of the same styles emerge for these two pinnacle hair events. These high-end celebrations are so interesting to track because they follow fashion trends and set new ones. What we’ve seen for proms and now for weddings is a looser look in hair. These are still formal events with the tuxedos and gowns, so the hair is still carefully finished. You won’t just pull up your hair on top in a gym bun. Nor will you go for the super tight curls that were popular in recent years. Read more from Huffpost  

Vintage: Hollywood Curls If you're taking a step into the past for your wedding, don't let that stop with your hair.

Stunning and glamorous, this look never really went out of style and is a special alternative to your everyday curls. Plus, it works for any hair length, whether you're rocking a bob or long locks. Make it clear to your hairstylist that you want your tresses to be reminiscent of the 1940s. A crème gloss helps give your waves a smooth finish, and volumizing mousse will help pump up thin hair without weighing it down. See the other enchanting hairstyles for your wedding at Brides

Snapshot: My parents’ Anglo-Indian wedding This photograph of my parents’ wedding only came to light after my last surviving aunt (not seen here) died and a cousin was sorting out old albums. My parents – Ida Copland and Hem Gupta, holding hands and wearing button holes – were married in March 1946. They met at work in London hospitals during the war; in classic style, he was a doctor and she was a nurse. My mother used to say that so many nurses and doctors were on the hospital roofs, supposedly fire watching, she was surprised that London did not burn down! Read more at the Guardian here
