What a great date for a wedding: 1-1-11. Who will ever forget that? The color for this wedding was navy, with accents of yellow and orange. It was very pretty! The tables had floor length white table cloths with orange floral centerpieces surrounded by candles. The chairs had white chair covers with navy ties.
Eileen was so pretty in her slim-fit, strapless gown. It had beaded accents, a halter neckline, and a sash waist. She carried a bouquet of assorted white flowers. Her Bridal Party wore navy knee-length gowns with halter necklines and carried orange and yellow bouquets. Wes wore a black tux with white vest, tie, and boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore similar attire but with grey vests and ties and yellow boutonnieres.
After dinner, it was time for the toasts. The Best Man cracked everyone up when he said that he brought a list of all the times Wes never followed his advice, then pulled out a list that was around 15 pages long. Then it was cake cutting time. The Bride’s cake was so pretty. It had four, white, stacked tiers. Each tier had elegant white scroll accents and a black ribbon at the bottom. There were a few orange flowers accenting each layer. The cake topper was the initials of “W” and “E” for Wes and Eileen. We joked that it was good to put their initials together in that order, so they were “WE” rather than “EW”. LOL Wes’ chocolate cake had the Texas Tech insigne on the top. Then we had the First Dance and Father/Daughter Dance followed by the Anniversary Dance. The longest married couple in the room had been married for 62 years, and they were Wes’ grandparents. What a great inspiration! When asked to give advice to the Newlyweds, the husband made everyone laugh when he said “Make love a lot”. His wife followed with the calmer advice of, “Be nice to each other.”
Following the Bouquet and Garter, and more dancing time, the night came to a close. The guests made sure to take their favors, which were fortune cookies in little Chinese take out boxes, with customized chopsticks tied to the top. Wes and Eileen ran through a shower of bubbles and headed off to their new life and relaxing Hill Country Honeymoon. Congratulations!!
