A reception followed the ceremony at the Nicholls State University Cotillion Ballroom in Thibodaux, Louisiana, the place where the couple first met. Wedding guests enjoyed dinner and dancing beneath the exclusively designed decorations, constructed by the father of the bride, which consisted of magnificent cascading voile ceiling draperies filled with lights drawn together by a chandelier.
Guests also enjoyed cake made by Caro’s Cakes of Houma. The wedding cake was specially designed by the bride to compliment the elegant reception decorations and emphasized the couple’s initials as a cake topper. The groom’s cake featured luxurious chocolate covered strawberries, which was accompanied by boxing gloves and a “Rocky” movie poster to highlight a favorite champion of the groom.
Following a wedding trip to Colorado, the couple will reside in Raceland.
