1-2-2010

That date just has a ring to it!  On the second day of 2010, we had the privilege to host Alisha Franklin's wedding reception.  She hired the Two Clever Chicks as her wedding planners, and as always that did a fantastic job.  Just look at the pictures below.  It was a day time wedding, which was our first.  They had a live country band, Shasta and the Ranch Rockers, who played a wide variety of music and kept the party going strong all afternoon.  Live music adds so much energy to an event, and they did just that.  Monarch catered a great looking Mexican-themed meal, with a live quesadilla food station and some scrumptious individual banana pudding and cherry cobbler shooters.  There was a lot going on, but the bride and groom were definitely center stage.  The father of the bride gave one of the best toasts I've heard and topped it off with a toast of brandy that was bought on the day Alisha was born by her grandfather and was to be saved for her wedding day.  What an amazing tradition!  Take a look at the pictures below, but if you want to see a real photographer's rendition, go to Deedra Folmer's blog.  She was the photographer for the day and always takes amazing pictures.  All in all, it was a beautiful day with a beautiful couple.
