Congratulations Leslie and Jessica


The first words that come to my mind are: what a gorgeous couple! They should be on the cover of a bridal magazine. Seriously. And, the fact that the Bride and Groom love the movie “Tommy Boy”, which is my favorite movie of all time, makes them even better. Then throw in two fun families that love to dance and have fun and you have a great reception!

This reception was held at the Hilton NASA Clear Lake. You know you’ll be in good hands there, especially with Margo, the Catering Director. She’s been there forever and the staff is excellent. The colors of the wedding were ivory and teal. The table cloths and chair covers were ivory, matching the tall ivory and white floral centerpieces. The bouquets were ivory and white as well, with teal ribbon accents. Other teal touches were on the favors, seating cards, and Bridesmaid’s dresses. It was very pretty and perfect for spring.

The Bride’s four tiered cake was stunning, with floral vine fondant accents, scrollwork designs, and a fondant ribbon on each tier. The Groom’s cake was so cool, and everything on it was edible. It was 3-D, with a little Leslie and Jessica sitting on logs around a campfire, with a tent behind them and two dogs lying on the ground beside the couple. I don’t know the meaning of the cake, but it was awesome!

We knew this was going to be another fabulous reception when the dance floor was packed from the very first song. It continued to be that way for the rest of the night! The first song was a fun nod to the movie “Tommy Boy” and was had meaning to Jessica and her dad. It was “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles, from the scene in the movie when Tommy and his dad were dancing at the wedding. Too funny! This group danced to everything, from Oldies to Country to Salsa to Merengue to Tejano to Pop to Hip Hop to Cumbia to you name it. The dance floor was rockin’ until the very last dance!

Finally it was time for the Bride and Groom to say goodnight to their guests and head out. Congratulations to Leslie and Jessica!
