Angela and Austin met on a camping trip that also included the bride’s maid of honor. They married October 9, 2015. For her wedding day, Angela dressed in a white lace strapless gown with a mermaid flair and completed the look with a diamond necklace. Her hair was worn down with a cathedral length veil with lace edging. She carried a cascading bouquet of crimson and red roses, while her bridesmaids carried bouquets of red and white roses and wore dresses of red lace. The ladies in the bridal party all wore cowboy boots that added some sass to the look. Austin was dapper in a dark grey tuxedo with grey vest and red tie. His groomsmen wore light grey tuxedos with vests and red ties.
Guests for the day were invited to write down date night ideas for the couple and were asked to choose a seat, not a side, for the ceremony as they would all be family once the knot was tied. As the ceremony began a string quartet played. The bride walked past the fountain where red rose petals floated gently, towards her groom. The bride’s stepfather conducted the ceremony.
The reception was held outdoors so guests could enjoy the warm Arizona air and the stars above. On the couple’s table was a LOVE sign lit with soft, glowing yellow lights. When speeches began, the grandfather of the bride spoke, as did the best man who had known the groom since he was twelve. The maid of honor noted how much the bride resembled her father and chided the bride for always being late.
The first dance between husband and wife was to Center of My World by Chris Young. This was followed by the father & daughter dance to Es Mi Nina and then a grandparent dance.
Dessert included a three-tired cake with textured frosting. The cake was decorated with green succulents while the cake topper of Mr. & Mrs. glittered in gold. Favors were personalized beer koozies. Congratulations Angela & Austin. May your love be your strength, your courage and your encouragement to one another. We wish you the best.
