Jeri and Florence were married on Friday, January 29, 2016.
Jeri wore a David’s Bridal wedding dress with a ball gown skirt and a semi-sweetheart neckline. She held a posy bouquet of white and maroon roses with purple daisies. Her five bridesmaids donned David’s Bridal sheath gowns, theirs in deep purple – with the Maid of Honor modeling a distinct Queen Anne-style neckline.
Florence modeled a dark gray suit and white shirt, with a light gray vest and matching bowtie, plus a white rose on her lapel. Her five bridal attendants sported black suits with purple ties, each lapel pinned with a light purple rose. Two flower girls, and one junior bridal attendant, also joined the wedding party.
The beautiful indoor ceremony featured a unity candle. The Catholic service also included Jeri and Florence being crowned as part of the ceremony.
A dinner of salad, stuffed chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, carrots, and bread rolls was later served. The wedding cake was a four-tiered, rounded hexagon cake of chocolate and vanilla, embellished with well-placed purple blossoms of frosting. The cake was ornamented with a kissing couple cake topper resembling Jeri and Florence.
During toast, the Best Man expressed well wishes for Florence and Jeri, and said how thrilled he was for both of them. Jeri’s daughter, also a bridesmaid, recounted how Florence likes cats and so does she, and congratulated the new couple. The Matron of Honor lamented how glad she was Jeri had met someone who challenges her, and welcomed Florence to the family.
The first dance for Jeri and Florence was to “Carried Away” by George Strait. The Father/Daughter Dance was to “My Little Girl” by Time McGraw, while the Anniversary Dance was to “Amazed” by Lone Star.
Framed photos of the newlyweds and HERSHEY’S Kisses, adorned on the bottom with “Jeri & Florence January 29, 2016,” were gifted to guests – a sweet treat from a sweet couple.
