Musical selections for the ceremony were performed by Jace Fogleman, vocalist, and Kip Faulk, organist and trumpeter.

Selected scriptures were read by Andrea Pinac and Mallory Miller Gaspard.

Escorted to the altar by her father, the bride was gorgeous in an ivory lace gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline. The gown featured a modified trumpet skirt with mesh organza under cotton lace appliques finished with a scalloped hemline. A belt of satin ribbon adorned with a beaded applique defined the dress at its natural waistline, and the back of the dress was finished with cloth-covered buttons.

For her headpiece, the bride selected a matching cathedral length ivory veil.

She carried a clutch bouquet of blush pink and white peonies.

Following the ceremony, family and friends joined the newlywed couple for a reception at Le Grand Hall in Crowley.

The bride’s four-tiered round cake was decorated with a lace design on the top and third tiers. The second tier was adorned with an “R” monogram to represent the bride’s new last name. Each tier was made of a different flavor and filling and was decorated with a simple pearl scroll design around its base.
