THE Wedding of the Year

Since I promised to give a little update on the major event (wedding) Rene and I attended on Saturday here goes. When I say that this was an “event” it really was. The wedding was for friends of ours who live in Dallas and we met through Rene’s job with Deloitte. The husband works at Deloitte as well and the wife owns a small boutique here in Dallas for breast cancer survivors.

The couple are 100% some of the most genuine and fun people that I know so please don’t think that when I tell you about the amazing wedding that they are stuck up or snobbish in any way shape or form!

The wife is from Longview,TX a town of around 80K in east Texas and her family in involved in lumber sales. Apparently the family is very well known in the town and this wedding was the event you wanted a ticket for – Rene and I were lucky enough to get invited.

I only have a couple of pictures because my camera wasn’t doing very well in the dark reception venue but here are a couple of the key points:

Guest count 600+

The church was packed and the reception was held in the Convention Center!

The catering was done by I think every local restaurant so there was something for everyone (Chick fil a, pizza, salmon, Diary Queen, and alcoholic sno-cones!)

It’s the first and only wedding I’ve attended that started on the dot at 7pm and finished up as the clock struck midnight—oh yea with a wonderful firework show as the new Mr. and Mrs. drove away!

An ice sculpture that of course the bartender poured your selected martini down to chill it before serving.

Add to that an amazing wedding cake, and flowers….

On yeah and the grooms cake that was a horn frog (TCU graduates!)

Best wishes to Crystal and Kelly – it really was an amazing wedding!
