Shon’Tora and Zachary tied the knot on October 6, 2024.
Shon’Tora dazzled in a sleeveless ballgown with an embroidered bodice, spaghetti straps, and a full, tiered, ruffle skirt. Her accessories included a full-length veil and a crystal leaf necklace. Her cascade-style bouquet included flowers in shades of blue, pink, and peach. Her eight bridesmaids wore individual full-length dusty rose dresses. They carried bouquets in the bride’s bouquet’s colors.
Zachary wore a dark blue suit with a white shirt, light blue tie, and peach rose boutonniere. His seven groomsmen wore light blue suits with white shirts, dusty rose ties, and ivory rose boutonnieres.
During the outdoor ceremony, the couple reminisced about their early memories of each other.
Later, guests dined on baby greens wrapped in cucumber with fresh berries; grilled vegetables; creamy mashed potatoes; caprese chicken; and flatiron steak. There was also a gelato cart, and the signature cocktails were a prickly pear margarita and a Moscow mule.
Several people special to the newlyweds gave speeches, including the best man, maid of honor, mother of the groom, and father of the bride.
The couple’s first dance as man and wife was to “If I Ain’t Got You” by Voronina Valeria. Other wedding fun included a caricaturist.
The three-tier white cake was adorned with a cascade of purple, pink, orange, and blue flowers. It was devil’s food cake and churro-flavored.
Shon’Tora and Zachary left their special day under a glow stick exit.
Congratulations to this wonderful couple!
