Boulder Springs, New Braunfels- June 2011

Lauren and Carl were united in Holy Matrimony at St.Peter/St.Paul Church in New Braunfels Texas. The bride looked regal as she walked down the isle to her First Lieutenant.
The couple had a Silver Shadow Rolls Royce, from Rolls Royce limos, transport them from the ceremony to the reception. At the end of the night they had a beautiful Corniche Convertible Rolls Royce take them away after the reception.
The reception was held at Boulder Springs. The bride and groom along with their guests enjoyed hors d' oeuvres and the couple's signature drink - a fruity sangria. A delicious, cold choice for a bright summer day! The French Connection designed the tables and flowers. A dynamic look was created throughout the room by using both short and tall centerpieces.

Since Carl and Lauren have such a special connection to the Marine Corps, they incorporated many special Marine personal touches to their wedding.
One of which was a "Missing Man Table". A Missing Man Table is a table specifically for those who couldn't make it to the wedding; whether it was because they were deployed to another country, or no longer with us. We set a table with simple dish setting, and added a beer and shot glass. It was such a great way to remember all their loved ones.
Secondly, Marine sword bearers created a sword arch for the bride and groom to enter the reception area. There were six uniformed sword bearers. Before being allowed to pass under each arch, the happy couple had to kiss. It was such a unique entrance!
The delicious groom's cake was in the shape of the Marine Corps seal. It was a wonderful way to commemorate both the groom and the father of the bride.


It was such a magical event, I'm glad we could be apart of it!
