Taylor & Cory Say I Do

On June 11th, Cory and Taylor were announced husband and wife, but before the I do's were said, the weekend was spent preparing for the wedding. On Friday, the bride and all the bridesmaids checked into Hotel Contessa on the Riverwalk. We settled into our rooms, worked on programs, and before we knew it, it was time to get ready for the rehearsal.

Taylor and Cory got married on Marriage Island, which is located right on the Riverwalk in front of Hotel Contessa and that is where the rehearsal took place. Marriage Island is shaped like a heart and there more than 360 wedding that take place there a year. In fact, there were two weddings there on Saturday. So back to the rehearsal... the bride to be, the groom, and all of the attendants were practicing for the big day. The island is shaded by a big tree and all of a sudden a bird pooped on Taylor! Not only did the bird bless Taylor with good luck for the next day, but we all had a good laugh from it.

Kevin joined me at Paloma Blanca for the rehearsal dinner. The food was delicious and we got to see lots of old pictures of Cory and Taylor. The rehearsal dinner...

Saturday was a jam-packed day. For the wedding, we helped Taylor make all of the bouquets and boutonnieres. It was quite a process, but I think we did a good job and made them all pretty fast. The bridesmaids went into town to get our hair fixed and by the time we got back Taylor was having her make-up and hair done. After that we took a few pictures and it was wedding time!

The birds left everyone alone during the ceremony and the reception was in the ballroom of Hotel Contessa. We spent the night dancing and having fun with friends.

Happy Wedding Taylor and Cory!
