Hock-Gauthreaux

After eight years together, Mia Hock and Gary Gauthreaux exchanged heartfelt vows at The Sadie Jane in Slidell. As a string trio played, Mia graced the aisle in an elegant fit and flare gown by Martina Liana from Town and Country Bridal. Her maids donned neutral chiffon dresses from David’s Bridal Metairie and the groomsmen wore blue suits from Tuxedos to Geaux in Metairie. The couple’s goldendoodle, Josie, wore a flower collar and followed Gary down the aisle. A light drizzle of rain fell before and during the ceremony signaling good luck for the two. Dear family and friends happily watched the intimate ceremony beneath umbrellas. Excellence by Design created bouquets and arrangements of white blooms and greenery that dotted the pergola as well as the reception area. The four-tier wedding cake from Frosted Fantasies by Nikki featured complementing quicksand roses, white flowers and greenery flowing down the tiers. Mia and Gary danced to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli. The two also shared a dance with Gary’s daughter. Bayou Events, LLC, provided the tunes. The celebratory night ended with the newlyweds dancing alone to Can’t Help Falling In Love before leaving through a tunnel of sparklers. The happy couple resides in Belle Chasse.
