A chance meeting through work led to a forever love connection for Brenda and Matthew, who were married in a Beauty and the Beast-themed wedding on June 25, 2021.
Brenda looked lovely in an off-the-shoulder ballgown with a lace bodice and a full skirt with a train. Her accessories include a red and gold necklace and matching bracelet, and a hip-length veil. Her bouquet was crafted with red roses, baby’s breath, and gold leaves. Her seven bridesmaids wore matching navy blue full-length sleeveless gowns with sweetheart necklines and ruched bodices. They each carried a red rose tied with a gold ribbon.
Matthew wore a white tuxedo with gold piping on the lapels, white vest, white shirt, white bow tie, gold shoes, and red rose boutonniere. His seven groomsmen wore gold jackets with white trousers, white shirts, black bow ties, and red rose boutonnieres.
The couple chose Disney songs as the entrance music for their indoor ceremony. Brenda and Matthew wrote their own vows to each other, and Matthew jokingly consulted with his friends before saying “I do.”
After the ceremony, guests dined on a Southwestern salad with black beans, corn, tortilla strips, red onions, and chipotle vinaigrette; grilled mahi mahi with honey citrus glaze; beef tenderloin with cognac cream sauce; fresh steamed vegetables, and Yukon gold creamy mashed potatoes. There was a coffee truck outside providing beverages.
A number of friends and family gave toasts, including the maid of honor, Brenda’s parents, and Matthew’s parents. The newlyweds thanked their guests for being there on their special day.
Brenda and Matthew’s first dance was to “Beauty and the Beast.” Brenda and her father danced to “Yo Primero La Ame.” Matthew and his mother danced to “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion.
Other wedding fun included a money dance, bouquet and garter tosses, and a Magic Mirror-themed photo booth.
The four-tier wedding cake resembled a Disney castle with gold pillars and stained glass windows. It was topped with a Beauty and the Beast bride and groom ornament.
We wish the newlyweds all the joy in the world!
