Lexi & Josh ~ May 20, 2017

Lexi and Joshua, who met when they were students at the University of Arizona, were married on May 20, 2017.

Lexi selected a stunning Liancarlo strapless fit-and-flare trumpet gown with a sweetheart neckline and a cascading design of silver applique flowers. Her accessories included silver heels, drop earrings, and a hip-length veil. Her casacade-style bouquet was composed of several varieties of white flowers and accompanying greenery. Her nine bridemaids wore identical full-length black halter-neck gowns, and carried bouquets of white flowers with eucalyptus and other botanical accents.

Joshua wore a traditional tuxedo with black vest, black bow tie, and a boutonniere that included a white flower and greenery accents. His nine groomsmen wore suits and boutonnieres to match the groom.

During the ceremony, the officiant encouraged the couple to remember that love is grown through effort. Lexi vowed to always try to make Joshua laugh, and Joshua thanked Lexi for moving across the country with him and supporting him.

At the reception, guests dined on baby greens wrapped in cucumber strips with mandarin oranges, berries, and raspberry vinaigrette; roasted red potatoes; green beans; grilled Atlantic salmon; and grilled chicken breast.

In the speeches, one of Lexi’s bridesmaids said that Joshua is the kind of man you want your best friend to marry, and thanked him for his gifts of strawberries and Nutella. The best man talked about how Josh has been there for him through chaotic times. Lexi’s parents shared memories of her childhood years.

Lexi and Joshua danced together for the time as a married couple to “Life Is Better With You” by Michael Franti. Lexi and her father danced to “Daughters” by John Mayer, and Joshua and his mother danced to “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” by Bryan Adams. Lexi’s sorority sisters gathered around her and a sang a song as well.

The wedding cake was three all-white tiers with a rose design. The groom’s cake was in the shape of the University of Arizona logo.

Joshua and Lexi honeymooned on St. Lucia, and we wish them all the best in their new adventure together!
