Tell
us your love story:
Cordell and I met through a wife of Cordell’s friend.
During our courtship, we about to break up when Cordell got
into a terrible motorcycle accident which brought us closer,
and the rest is history.
Tell
us the story of how you got engaged:
We were in Cancun and Cordell formally proposed asking me
would I spend the rest of my life with him. It was very romantic.
Tell
us what you envisioned your wedding day would be like:
I envisioned a day where everyone would come together and
just have FUN, I wanted my wedding to be colorful, unique
and full of special touches that made it memorable.
Share
some of the details of your wedding.
When
I envisioned my wedding I wanted something different,
I did not want to be ANY WEDDING, USA. I wanted to add some
special touches that no one had seen or would not have expected.
I
chose the color scheme fuschia and dark purple because that
is not your typical wedding colors. The ceremony room was
decorated with tall columns with ferns on the top –
which was a theme that followed into the reception room. Chair
covers were used in the ceremony room and in the reception
room. Fuschia sashes were used with the chair coveres in the
reception room. I used table runners that matched the fuschia
sashes to stay with the color scheme.
We
had several cupcake trees as centerpieces on some tables as
well as some traditional floral centerpieces. Instead of a regular
tier cake we used cupcakes on the cake table. We also had a
chocolate fountain. Many of my guests commented they had never
seen or been to an event with a chocolate fountain. We splurged
on Exquisite Band who performed at the reception. They really
kept the party moving!
What
did you do for favors?
I used fuschia and purple organza bags and white tulle which
were filled with chocolates. We also had magnets designed
in our color scheme that had our names and wedding date imprinted
on them.
Where
did you go on your honeymoon?
Negril, Jamaica
