Durio Wedding

It really doesn’t usually take me this long to blog a wedding.  Ecspecially since this was one of my FAVORITES.  But I’ve been out of town.  That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it:)  This wedding has been much anticipated for me.  The second Abbie came to my house to sign her contract, I kneeeeew.  I just knew she’d quickly become one of my favorite brides.  I love when the wedding is over, and I still feel like I have a friend.  Like she’s not just DONE with me!  I’m so happy that Abbie and Derek allowed me to be apart of their special day.  They are one of my most favorite families.  Yes, I caught my hair on fire during their reception.

The wedding and reception was at the Cajun Cafe in Lake Charles.  I have never worked at this venue before, but I sure hope I get to work there again!  They were so great and did so much for Abbie!  I will find out the name of the man that did all the flowers.  Because he did a spectacular job!  Abbie if you’ll leave his name in the comment section, much appreciated:)

Ya’ll know I love cutting off peoples heads:)  No no, I just love when all you can see is a smile.  I love when you can tell someone’s happy without even seeing all of them.
