Natalie and Xavier, who met in preschool, went through school together as friends, and started dating as adults, were married on May 31, 2019.
Natalie looked radiant in a sleeveless gown with an illusion sweetheart neckline, illusion back, and full tulle skirt. Her accessories included stud earrings, blush-colored heels, and a full-length veil. Her bouquet incorporated roses and other flowers in shades of white, ivory, and pale pink. Her six bridesmaids wore individual dresses in pale pink.
Xavier got married in a dark blue suit with a dark blue vest, white shirt, and pale pink bow tie. He was accompanied by six groomsmen.
In the ceremony, the couple poured sand into a jar to symbolize the joining of their lives.
Later at the reception, guests dined on a salad of mixed greens with julienned carrots, pear tomatoes, house vinaigrette dressing, and Parmesan cheese crisps; seasonal fresh steamed vegetables with herb butter; creamy mashed potatoes; and sliced beef tenderloin with cognac cream sauce and horseradish aioli.
Natalie and Xavier shared their first dance as a married couple to “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. All the married couples danced to “At Last” by Etta James. Other wedding fun included a slideshow of photos of the couple.
The white wedding cake was done with a pearl design.
Xavier and Natalie left their big day under the signature sparkler send-off.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
