We love military weddings. You know when you see a couple look at each other and their love just radiates from them and makes your heart smile? Yeah, that describes Dennis and Callan! The way they look at each other just screams true love!! I was so honored to be their wedding coordinator. They are so adorable. Callan’s smile is so contagious and Denni is just so relaxed and was so excited to see his bride.
Country superstar Miranda Lambert surprises her good friend Laci on her wedding day at the chapel. Miranda was in Las Vegas where she performed the night before at the iHeart Radio Music Festival. The two took amazing photos throughout the night; Miranda is sure use to the flash photography being the celebrity she is.
Laci was so excited that she made Miranda her Matron of Honor. On a fun note, Laci served as Miranda’s Maid of Honor in her “White Liar” music video.
I have been working at the chapel for more than seven months now and have gotten the privilege to edit so many fantastic weddings. The offsite weddings that I get to edit are especially meaningful to me since the photographers usually choose to edit them themselves. I recently had the chance to edit Mr. and Mrs. Ngo’s offsite photo session. They got married here in our Magnolia Chapel on March 6, 2012. I cannot say enough about how great the photos turned out for this couple!
Michaelyn and Joseph Bruer are feeling lucky in more ways than one! When Michaelyn stepped out of the limo, she was beaming. She just glowed with beauty. I loved her dress and her hair piece; she really was gorgeous from head to toe. Joseph looked very handsome. They seemed like the perfect match for each other!
As a Wedding Coordinator here at Chapel of the Flowers, I have the opportunity to see couples’ dreams come true every day. Everyone is so different, and they have so many different aspects to what will make “their day” the most perfect day. It is so wonderful to be a small part of so many people’s lives! To make the best job in the whole world that much better, I was lucky enough to participate in a very special wedding of someone who is very important to me – my Mom!
One of my favorite things about meeting couples who were married here several years back is when I ask if they would consider renewing their vows. We heard about Doyalene and Gary Layton and their beautiful vow renewal ceremony, so naturally I would think that when you have love between two people for that long, it only makes sense to renew your vows and honor it. Well, apparently that’s not the case.
On November 19th, I had the joy of meeting a couple that have been married for 50 years! Nancy and Patricio Mena were celebrating their 50th anniversary with all their closest family members. Their son booked everything for them and contacted all of their family members, so that they could join them and watch as they renew vows in Las Vegas!
This is the first time I have taken the opportunity to write about any of our couples, so I couldn’t help but to decide on an experience that really stood out to me.
It was love at first sight, when John and Kim first met. It was just an ordinary day and John had a long day at work, so he decided to go to the local bar to get some dinner and a few drinks. He had no intentions on meeting any new people or staying out for too long. However, he saw his friend there, so he went up to her and started talking; it was then that he realized she was there with one of her girlfriends, who happened to be Kim.
Dawn met Lee when she was only 14 years old at a disco. She must have known that it was true love from the very beginning as they now have been together for 28 years! The couple visited Las Vegas four years ago and decided that if they ever came back, that they would get married here.
