The gown was finished with embroidery and a sparkling beaded belt at the empire waistline. The bride also wore a chunky diamond necklace and cascading diamond earrings. Her bridal bouquet brought together blush, pink and peach roses with crystal accents. Her bridesmaids wore coral strapless gowns with rouching across the top and their hair swept to the side with diamond fascinators and diamond necklaces. The bridesmaid\u2019s bouquets were filled with hydrangeas. Kevin wore a black tuxedo, black shirt, coral vest and bowtie. His groomsmen wore black tuxedos with white shirts, coral vests and bowties.

Christina and Kevin wrote their own vows for their special day. Because Mother\u2019s Day was the same day as their wedding, the couple gave both their mothers roses.<\/p>\n<p>The bridal party was announced with a choreographed dance. The couple\u2019s grand entrance was followed by their first dance to <em>Close Your Eyes<\/em> by Michael Buble. During the reception the newlywed game was played and an anniversary dance took place. During dinner the couple sat at a sweetheart table with Mr. &amp; Mrs. in glittery signs on top.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Gonzalez0863-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Gonzalez0863-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Gonzalez0863 copy\" width=\"334\" height=\"501\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Before dinner the couple\u2019s grandfather prayed. During speeches the mother of the groom talked of how together anything is possible, while the father of the bride said when he first met Kevin he knew Kevin would be his son in the future.
