Bride
After meeting through mutual friends in the summer of 2019, Randy and Elizabeth began dating; and over the next year and a half, they realized that they wanted more. As Christmas of 2020 descended, Randy took the opportunity to seize the festivity of the season to make his move by hanging a “We’re Engaged!” ornament on the
Christmas tree. “He was just waiting for me to notice,” recalls Elizabeth with a laugh. “Once I did, he got down on one knee, and all our family and friends came out from hiding to surprise me!”
Nearly a year later, on October 16, 2021, Elizabeth dressed in a fit-and-flare gown with buttons all the way down the back to walk down the aisle at Our Lady of the Lake in Mandeville. As 280 of their closest friends and relatives watched, the couple exchanged vows and were pronounced married. First kisses exchanged, the newlyweds joined their guests for a reception at the Greystone, where they dined on a buffet-style meal of local Louisiana cuisine, complete with a carving station and a pasta station.
Naturally, there was dancing—and oh, how they danced. “I just remember the dance floor being packed! Everyone danced the entire time,” recalls Elizabeth, who works as a dental assistant, while Randy serves as a fireman. “I think something that made it a really memorable wedding was that everyone was dancing so much and cutting up with the band. I’ve never experienced a wedding so full of life, and it was so much fun!” Taking a break from dancing to indulge in cake, the newly married Tumminellos cut into a four-tier masterpiece with layers of white cake and chocolate cake, both with raspberry filling. In homage to Randy’s favorite team, the groom’s cake was an LSU-inspired king cake. Cake eaten and the last dance danced, the happy couple was sent off to start their honeymoon at the Sandals Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. Now back at home, the Tumminellos have begun their life together, looking forward to putting more ornaments on their tree together, and making all the memories that come with them.
