Well, our travels took us to San Antonio this last weekend for the wedding of a dear friend. It was the most unique wedding I’ve ever attended, and it was great. I love when you can surprise, shock, or impress me, and this wedding did all three!
First, the invitation implied they were already married, it being the second, third or whatever marriage for both the bride and groom; we assumed that they had already married and this was a big ‘ol party to celebrate. Wrong...half way through the party we were told to gather around the dance floor...assumption, a toast for the couple. No, when one of her adult daughters walked up throwing rose petals and holding a black cat we knew there was going to be a ceremony-SURPRISE!
Second, there was a slide show of a photographic collection of the couple taken by two professional photographers. The slide show was showing on threes walls surrounded by black drape frames. The pictures included traditional poses of hugging and hand-holding, but also non-traditional...uhhh…more of a raw and exotic/unique selection of poses....SHOCK...pure party planning genius...the unexpected!
Third, the decor/theme of the party was quite impressive. I love my themes, especially for a party, and this bride had her color scheme of black with accents of red. The black attire dress code for the party-goers set a scene of an all black ocean of people so the bride in a fuchsia dress stood out like a she-goddess. The color theme was carried throughout, from the invitation to the tables, and to the semi-nude (sheer body stocking & pasties) women who offered themed goodies, food, photo opps, and well, objects of pure human art forms...IMPRESSED!
It was the most unique, shocking, and original wedding I’ve ever attended, not to mention lots of fun! Oh, the bride even sang her vows...beautifully, a cappella, and on pitch-a huge feat considering you're singing in front of family & friends....SURPRISE, SHOCK, and IMPRESS! Touché!
The next night we went to Mi Tierra’s Mexican Food Restaurant. Tune in for that glorious experience next!
