Dear friends, Unless you have planned a wedding, you cannot imagine the thousands of details and the hundreds of decisions involved in making sure that your special day goes smoothly. Having just completed this process, we feel that a key element to success is working with people who are responsible and professional in their business. We would like to thank Barnett Photography for spending countless hours capturing special moments including the engagement, rehearsal, wedding, and the reception. They recorded the memories in hundreds of beautiful photographs that will last us a lifetime. Thank you to The Glitz who provided dozens of selections of wedding attire. We quickly found the perfect bridal gown and beautiful dresses for the bridesmaids. Debbie Vanvactor offered an exquisite and comfortable setting in her shop in which to view the bride’s possible choices and made sure everyone looked just right. Al’s Formal Wear offered us varied choices for stylish tuxedoes to match the color choices used in our wedding. Only a few hours before the wedding began, this shop handily provided an extra pair of pants for one of the groomsmen who accidentally left part of his tuxedo at his home in Little Rock. Thanks for the quick loan! Thank you to Candy and Cakes by Carrie who sculpted magnificent wedding and groom’s cakes that tasted just as delicious as they looked. We found Carrie to be creative and helpful in our cake-tasting session and in her finished “works of art.” Thank you to Ann’s Petals who provided beautiful, fresh flowers for the wedding party. The unique bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages added the finishing touch to the event. Thanks to 5S Rental who transformed the stage into a beautiful setting for the ceremony and to Casa Flora who provided the gorgeous fresh flower sprays and greenery which enhanced the stage décor. Thank you to the talented musicians, Lydia Covey on the harp and Adonna Donovan on the trumpet, who created an inspiring musical background for the ceremony. The music was unique and beautiful! Also, a thank you goes to Classic Coach and Carriage for providing such a luxurious limousine ride to the reception. Thank you to The Summit who provided the venue for the reception. Lori worked within our budget to offer a delicious menu in a beautifully decorated and elegant setting. Thank you to The Wedded Bliss for providing our wedding night accomodations at Wingate in Longview. Also, thank you to Fun Travel in Henderson for the gift of an exciting honeymoon cruise. Certainly, a very special thank you goes to Sandra at The Wedded Bliss magazine who advertised the I Do 2009 Perfect Wedding contest and made all this possible. We always look forward to your publications and the presentation of wedding highlights from all over the East Texas area. What a great way to showcase wedding memories! A heart-felt thank you to the VOW program at the Longview Wellness Center. Nicola and Tonya, we appreciate everything you did to organize, direct, answer questions, and make sure all of the planning came together to create the most memorable experience of our lives. Thank you, Deena, our VOW program counselor, for providing us with valuable insight into communicating and problem solving within a marriage. We would highly recommend this program for all couples as a means to strengthen and improve their relationship. Again, thank you to everyone, including family and friends, who had a part in the process of our wedding planning and celebration. We will never forget your kindness, generosity, and helpful insight into making that day a perfect memory.
