The Reverend Doctor Richard J. Petranek of St. Francis Church officiated at the ceremony and Penny Robertson and Amy Thorn Baker gave the scripture readings. Music for the ceremony was provided by The Episcopal High School Madrigal Singers, Julia Hall, Director, Troy Rowley, trumpeter and Andrew Bowen, organist. The bride's parents hosted the reception at The Petroleum Club where Yvonne Washington and the Mix provided the music. On the eve of the wedding, the groom's parents hosted a rehearsal dinner at Treebeard's.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Williamson Martin of Houston.

Fashioned in ivory silk faced satin, the gown featured a strapless bodice with a dropped waistline. Delicate embroidery accented with beading covered the bodice. The full skirt swept into a chapel length train from soft pleats at the hip. To complement her gown, Katherine wore a diamond necklace, a wedding gift from the groom, and a Swarovski crystal and pearl tiara with the veil her mother wore 28 years ago.
