Best Place to Get Married (Out of Town)
St. Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church
A certain Chronicle senior editor swears that if he ever marries (again), this is where he'll do it (even though it was his ex-wife who first pointed out St. Luke's to him as an ideal spot to tie the knot). In the main part of this Episcopal church, the altar is framed by a magnificent view of Lake Travis and the surrounding hills through the giant windows behind it, while a smaller outdoor chapel is ideal for more intimate ceremonies. For picturesque nuptials, this is it. UPDATE (9/96): Seems St. Luke's gets more action in the wedding department than they'd like -- curious couples are routinely flooding their phones with requests. While their breathtaking view earns many glances, it seems St. Luke's wants more of an, um, commitment. They've recently asked us to note that use of their facilities are restricted to those who (a) belong to the church, or (b) agree to join the church, "after completing premarital counseling." Thoughts to consider before heading for the altar, indeed.
