The bride is the daughter of Diane and Rick Crane of Vinita, OK. Mr. Tarbush is the son of Valerie and Steve McGiboney of Grapevine and Nita and David Tarbush of Euless.

Escorted by her father, the bride wore a strapless, ivory-colored gown of Shiffli lace over satin. The gown featured a sweetheart neckline and semi-cathedral train and was adorned with crystal beading.

Acting as groomsmen were David Tarbush of Hurst, best man and brother of groom; Josh Martz of Argyle; and Martin Littlejohn of Euless. Serving as flower girl was Allison McGiboney of Grapevine.

For both the outdoor wedding ceremony and the terrace dinner reception, decorations were designed by Donna Smith of Grapevine’s Out of the Garden and installed by a local St. Thomas florist. Flowers included blue and white hydrangeas, peonies, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, roses and lavish greenery.

The groom’s parents hosted a sunset dinner cruise on the eve of the wedding aboard the New Horizons 65-foot sailboat. Guests included the wedding party and all family and friends joining the couple’s destination wedding.
