- brandy and jake’s wedding

Posted by kim on 26th January 2010

Our first wedding of 2010 – a whole new decade! – was with Brandy and Jake in Ft. Worth this last Saturday.   The wedding was at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral downtown and the reception was held at The Ashton Depot.

After a wonderfully weird week of 70 degree temperatures, Saturday came with gray clouds and some brisk winds.  But even the drops of rain (which are supposed to be good luck) didn’t dampen the spirits of the day.

Brandy’s touch of blue in her beautiful shoes was very classy.

When we arrived at the Ashton Depot, the clouds moved away to show a little blue sky.

The blue shoes were adorable but they gave way to her extremely comfortable boots early in the evening.

Trey & the Tritones provided the music for the evening and they definitely kept the crowd on their feet all night long.

And we experienced two firsts with this wedding – a groom’s cake that looked like a fish and what a great looking fish too!  (Just in, Brandy let us know the fish cake came from Central Market – I’m thinking it must have been the Fort Worth store that she worked with).  Brandy also let us know that the florals were provided by Phillip Combs – I believe this was our first time to work with them too.  Have to say Phillip’s mothers flower bracelets were really unique and something I would wear without the flowers on a daily basis.  Another neat detail to note is the bottles used on some of the tabletops came from Brandy’s grandfather’s collection.  Unfortunately her grandfather wasn’t there in person, but he and her other extended family were there in spirit.

The other first for us was the couple’s chosen method of get-away transportation.  After running through sparklers, Brandy and Jake hopped on a bicycle built for two and away they went into the night.

Brandy and Jake, we had a great time and we appreciate you including us in your celebration.  Enjoy Chile!

Cheers,
