As I remember when her two sisters became engaged there was a lot on the blogs about the fiancés, details about the wedding plans, and wedding websites. I am surprised that there aren't any details about this engagement. I don't think anyone has even mentioned a gift registry which usually provides some of the details.

I am sorry but I don't know if you are correct or not.

I received a note that someone saw them on the list of marriage licenses issued in Houston during November. I don't know how to cross check this, but the wedding probably has already occurred. So I guess we missed seeing all of the pictures like we did with Xenia's wedding. If someone can confirm this, this post should probably be moved to noble weddings.
