The dress buttoned down the back into a train. Colette\u2019s hair was worn in a half up-do with dangling diamond earrings and a crucifix around her neck. In her hair she wore a flower fascinator. Red roses mixed with white calla lilies and white baby\u2019s breath for the bridal bouquet. Chris wore a black tuxedo with white shirt, tie and vest. In his pocket rested a red handkerchief. His groomsmen wore black tuxedos with red vests and ties. Her bridesmaids wore strapless red gowns with gathered skirts. They also carried red and white floral bouquets. A sand ceremony integrated the couple\u2019s lives as one with black and white sand. Speakers at the wedding ceremony included the couple\u2019s daughter, the bride\u2019s mom and the groom\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wilson0450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wilson0450.jpg\" alt=\"wilson0450\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Instead of the traditional guest sign-in book, guests were encouraged to sign puzzle pieces that would fit together later.<\/p>\n<p>During the reception the couple opened the microphone up to anyone who wished to give a speech. As a result, both friends and family came up to speak. To toast, the wedded couple drank out of champagne glasses with a tuxedo on one and a wedding dress on the other. At the base of the glasses \u2018for better or worse\u2026\u2019 and \u2018from this day forward\u2026\u2019 were written. On either side of the couple sat their two daughters, who later got up and sang <em>Roar<\/em> by Katie Perry.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wilson0645.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wilson0645.jpg\" alt=\"wilson0645\" width=\"363\" height=\"545\" \/><\/a>\n<p>For the first dance, Sade\u2019s <em>By Your Side<\/em> played, followed by the mother\/son dance to <em>Cupid Shuffle<\/em> and the father\/daughter dance to <em>Love You<\/em> by Celine Dion.<\/p>\n<p>The wedding cake was done in a hexagonal shape with red satin wrapping each of the three tiers with red satin dividers.
