Give Kids the World!

We are so grateful to everyone who supported our Ice Cream for Breakfast fundraiser for Give Kids the World Village on Saturday, August 27th! Give Kids the World Village is a storybook village for children with life threatening illnesses and their very deserving families. While their kids jumped with joy in the bounce house, had their faces painted with flowers or monster trucks, and ate ice cream until they nearly burst, the parents of these children talked of their shared experiences of caring for their little ones.
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites and the Wellington Banquet and Conference Center sponsored this event as a day of service to the community. Hotel employees scooped ice cream, poured lemonade, handed out raffle prizes, and talked to families who came out to support this great event.
We cannot forget those who helped make this fundraiser possible! Raffle prize donors included Red Lobster, Kids Hair Safari, Texas Roadhouse, Cheddars, All American Car Wash, McAlisters Deli, Cotton Patch Café, Cici’s Pizza, Walmart, Pecan Shed, and the Wichita Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau. Other partners include Creative Portraits, McGruff the Crime Dog, Office Depot, US Foods, Times Record News, KAUZ, KFDX, and Coca Cola.
Thankfully, many of the families we spoke with have children in remission or nearing the “all clear” mark! It was our pleasure and delight to meet these wonderful people and everyone else who came out in support of the Give Kids the World Village fundraiser.

A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words.

Another Saturday has come and gone and so has another fabulous reception! This week we celebrated the love of Paige Muirhead and Aaron Rask. These two are so cute and fun together! I know everyone had a great time! It is almost the same story as last weekend, when we first started talking to this couple in January they were not technically engaged yet. Paige’s sister had just been married and Aaron was thinking really hard about popping the question. So Paige’s parents, Tammie and Mike, came in and booked the venue. Well the next time we see them they are already married! They had a beautiful destination wedding on the beach. The reception we had here was for all of the family and friends who were not able to make it to the first wedding. It was so pretty. The tables were decorated with ivory cloths and burlap runners. The center pieces were gorgeous orange, green, and purple flowers done by the brides uncle Jay Oxford. Mike and Aaron hung old bottles on the windows in front of the terrace and had flowers in them as well. It was a very cute idea. The food was catered by Simple DelecTable. They served an Italian menu with lasagna, tortellini, pasta salad, and a soup. For dessert we had cupcakes for the bride prepared by Dream Bakers and cheesecake for the groom. Now when I say that Paige and Aaron are a super fun couple, I mean every word of it. When the couple made their entrance a dvd of the actual ceremony was being projected on the wall. We hung a larger than life picture of them on the wall in front of the service doors and when they said their “I dos” on the movie they busted through the picture of themselves surprising all of their guest! A picture is always worth a 1000 words, but in this case it was worth 150 very shocked faces! For their first dance they came up with the funniest dance showcasing all of the most popular dance moves since the 1970s! When it was it time for the garter toss Aaron “accidently” pulled off Paige’s undies and threw them! I didn’t come right out and ask but I am pretty sure it was very successful prank because they looked to be about four sizes too big for Mrs. Rask. At one point in the evening I am pretty sure that I seen Mr. Rask on the dance floor doing the worm thanks to the musically styling’s of DJ Joe Martin. Paige’s father created a slideshow for the couple and wrote and sang the sweetest song for his daughter. I do not believe there was a dry eye in the house. The photographs were taken by Ms. Jessica Bailey. She always does such a great job! I can’t wait to see these pictures. As soon as I get some I will post them for everyone to look at! To Mr. and Mrs. Rask thank you for choosing the Wellington to be part of your (second) special day! We very much enjoyed planning all of the details with you and your family! Good luck on your future together as husband and wife!

Pomeranians, Receptions, and Texoma's Best Banquet Facility...

Hey bloggers! August has started off with a bang! We have two weddings down and one more to go this month! Last week on August 11th we hosted the Texoma’s Best Awards, and heard the awesome news that the Wellington Banquet & Conference Center was named “Texoma’s Best Banquet Facility.” Thank you to everyone who voted for us! We will strive to keep this title and get better each year with it! Now on to the wedding updates!


Shannon & Brandon

August 6 we hosted the Shannon Scott and Brandon Gentry ceremony and reception. Shannon loves anything classic, so this was a vintage wedding from start to finish! Julie Caldwell, one of the maids of honor and wedding planner, helped her friends put together their big day! The ceremony was held on the terrace. The wedding programs were printed on fans which helped their guests beat the summer sun. Shannon’s little Pomeranian dog, Levon Barnabus Scott, played a very vital role in this ceremony. He wore a tuxedo fit for pup, and walked down the aisle as the ring bearer. He was adorable, and made for some of the cutest ceremony pictures ever. After the “I do’s” we made our way back inside, where it was nice and cool, and got the reception started while the newlyweds took pictures in the foyer. The reception tables had ivory linens paired with burlap runners. The centerpieces were composed of old records and books with mason jars holding flower arrangements made by the lovely Paula Hill with Designing Spaces. The foyer table was decorated with an old timey typewriter and suitcase. There were also old keys spread across the table. Shannon’s dress for the rehearsal Friday night had the same keys printed on it. I think it was great how they kept the theme going all weekend. Shannon and Brandon’s wedding pictures were taken in Chicago, and the pictures were made into a book that everyone signed their well wishes in. There was a photo booth set up in the Ballroom with a “Smile” backdrop and lots of fun props to take pictures with. (It looked like so much fun, I couldn’t resist from snapping a pic in it with the other girls and our phones!) Dinner was catered by Johnny Carino’s and Circle M Bakery brought cupcakes for the bride and a chocolate cake for the groom. They were so goooood. It is no wonder Circle M won Texoma’s Best Bakery last week at the banquet! One of the funnier moments of the night came when a member of the wedding party sang “Sexual Healing” to Brandon and Shannon before the bouquet and garter toss. Since he forgot his guitar he had to sing without it, but he was still just as entertaining. Before August 6 was her wedding day, it was already a special day to Shannon. It is her late fathers’ birthday. When the reception ended we gathered all of the flowers and donated them to Hospice of Wichita Falls in Larry Scotts honor. The staff at Hospice sent a “Thank you” card to us at the Wellington and I just wanted to extend this thanks to the Scott and Gentry families for allowing us to do that. In lieu of the traditional wedding favor a donation was also made to the St. Jude Children’s Research Center in honor of the guests who attended. At the end of the night the couple made their exit to Blink 182s “First Date.” (a classic song in my book!) To Mr. and Mrs. Gentry- Congratulations on finding each other and good luck with everything! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!








Sara and Cole

The next weekend we went with a peacock themed reception for Sara Contreras and Cole Morath’s reception. Exclusive Weddings by Spring Branch was on board for this one, and what a great one it was! Now just a little background info on Sara and Cole for you guys… we have been planning this day since before they were even engaged! Sara’s parents, Trini and Jose, were very sneaky. As soon as Cole asked for permission to take Sara’s hand in marriage, Trini knew Sara would say yes and started looking for venues. Cole finally got up the nerve to ask and a few weeks later the family traveled from Amarillo to take a tour of the Wellington. It was then that we were able to tell Sara the date was already hers and the rest of the planning was able to begin. I can’t believe how fast the actual wedding came! It seems like just yesterday we were supposed to keep it on the hush hush and now Sara is going by Coach Morath at school! Wow, how time flies! Sara was a beautiful bride! Her dress complimented her very well and her bouquet was a little different. She collected broaches from all of the ladies in her family and put them together to create a simple but unique bouquet. The cocktail hour started at 3:00 with wine being served in the foyer. At 4:30 we opened the Ballroom doors and let everyone see the beautiful room that the ladies at Spring Branch had created. Dinner was served at 5:30 by Cotton Patch, so while everyone was waiting to eat we showed a slideshow that Jose had created for the couple. Friday when we were testing everything, I watched it and couldn’t help but cry. He did a great job of putting it together! They even had a snippet of a video on there of Cole proposing to Sara. That was the kicker for me. I always get to see the “I do” part, but not the part where she says “yes.” I love that part too. After dinner came the first dances and the cutting of the cakes. After all of that was out of the way, it was time to dance! Joe Martin was the DJ for the night and he did an awesome job of keeping the dance floor full all night. I’m sure that in 10 years people will still be talking about how much fun they had at this reception. The night always has to come to an end, when the clock struck 11 the bride and grooms horse and carriage awaited them outside. The exit reminded me of a fairy tale. I don’t know if it was the bubbles or the horses, but it was a very impressive way to end the night. Mr. and Mrs. Morath thank you so much for trusting us to host your reception. It was great getting to know you and your families! Good luck on your future together!






P.S. I will post some better pictures of both events as soon as I can get my hands on them!!

Ceremonies, Receptions, and a Super Bowl Champ??

Hello bloggers! I have sooo much to tell you! Wedding season is still in full force at the Wellington! I suppose we should start with the Hoyer-Ballard reception on July 16. Unfortunately, I was not able to be here that night, but I heard that thanks to the Two Clever Chicks this was the perfect summer reception. The ballroom was decorated in different shades of green, turquiose, and purple. Shelly and Lance are both engineers, so everything about this night was very structured and captured the couples personalities wonderfully. The bride did something a little different with her guests. She picked out a song for each table, and when that song played everyone sitting at that particular table had to get up and dance! The dances were very well thought out and beautifully choreographed. Lance and his mother even did a swing dance when it was their time to shine together! There was also a photo booth set up in the ballroom so everyone could get a chance to catch their fun in a picture! The girls also told me that Monarch did a great job on the food as usual! Here are a few pictures for you guys to look at!




Now on to the Kim Rock- Clayton Harvey reception held July 22. The reception started with light music playing and hors doevres being passed. After the bride and groom were announced, dinner was served! Monarch also catered this event and, as always, brought their A game with the spiced chicken and cheese tortellini. Kathy’s Bakery did the brides cake and for the groom cobbler was served. The music was soft until after we cut the cakes, then we dimmed the lights, turned up the music and everyone got on the dance floor! The colors were yellow and navy blue. The ballroom tables were draped with ivory cloths and navy runners. The center pieces were white hydrangeas with yellow roses. There was also lemon accents in some of the vases and around the cake table. Kim looked beautiful in her white dress. She had her little braids pulled back in her hair. She was so beautiful. Clayton is a lieutenant in the air force so he wore his service dress (which coincidently matched the blue runners perfectly.) Everything about this reception was so much fun all the way until we said our goodbyes. The bride and groom made their exit to a sea of lit sparklers being swirled by their family and friends.




July 23 we changed it up a little bit here and instead of the normal wedding we usually have on Saturdays, we had the great pleasure of hosting the United Regional “Playing it Safe” sports banquet. This event was geared toward parents of student athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers to help keep kids from getting sports related injuries. They had physicians from United Regional that primarily deal with these types of injuries speak and there was also a guest speaker. Now if you are a Dallas Cowboys fan I am positive you have heard this name plenty of times... Bill Bates. He is a former Cowboy, and was a member of the 1992, 1993 and 1995 Super Bowl Champions team. He was a line backer, safety, and a member of the special teams. What an honor it was to have someone with three super bowl rings in the building! He is such a nice guy! He signed lots of footballs, jerseys, and United Regional pinnets for everyone who came out. After the presentation ended, there was a complimentary bar-b-que dinner provided by the hospital and prepared by Monarch. For dessert we had cupcakes in the shape of a giant stadium that were baked by the Ganache Girls. They were sooo yummy! As much as I love receptions this was a nice change of pace! It was so cool getting to meet Mr. Bates and listen to all of the different things that each speaker had to say! I already can’t wait to have this event here again next year!




Now back to what I know is everyones favorite: the ceremonies and receptions! The next weekend on July 29 our building transformed into the “big city” for Holly Morgan and Jason Scheller’s ceremony and reception! Holly is a Jersey girl who relocated to Chicago and then to Wichita Falls. The city is a big part of who she is and she really wanted to incorporate it into her wedding. Every table had its own name and then a description about that table. There was a Central Park, Penn Station, and Union Square table just to name a few. The foyer table was covered in Chicago’s famous Garrett popcorn and the sweetheart table sat in between two skyscrapers. There was a photo booth set up with a city skyline back drop. The colors were red, black, and white because Jason graduated from Texas Tech and he wanted that tied into the wedding as well. I really love how this couple had thought of so many personal touches to add to their wedding. Ann with Mystic Floral did an amazing job on the centerpieces and turning our C Ballroom into a very romantic ceremony spot. Holly did not have a flower girl so Ann created an “S” in rose petals on the floor for Holly to walk through. After the ceremony I was trying to gather the wedding party so we could do a reception line and everyone could say their “hello’s and thank you for coming” and I noticed Jason and Holly in the corner doing a secret handshake. It was so cute; I knew I had to mention it in the blog. We had a cocktail hour were the signature drinks, cosmopolitans and skyscrapers were served, then at 8:15 we opened the ballroom doors and everyone stepped into the “big city.” As soon as everyone was seated, the always delicious Bistro Express served dinner. For dessert there was a candy bar and wedding cake of course! The cakes were prepared by Kim Pirtle. Holly’s cake was a white cake with buildings all around it and Jason’s cake was Star Wars inspired. Everything about this night was original. I think Holly did a great job of planning this out and really making the building her own. (Hey Holly you got this! You're gold girl!)




The next day we did one of the things we do best and we turned the building into Jordan Bailey and Bradley Carvers dream reception. Now we did not do this on our own. Most of the credit needs to go to Bonnie Hill and Ginger Schaffner of Creative Elegance, where details really are their specialty! They showed up at 8am ready to decorate and by 2pm this place looked totally different. The board rooms were transformed into a candy bar and appetizer station. The ballroom was absolutely amazing with all different shades of brown, gold, green and purple. They used some of their designing secrets (which I will never tell!) to really give Jordan the fall inspired reception she hoped for in July! Jordan and Bradley are both Aggies (Whoop!) so instead of doing a bride’s cake and a groom’s cake Aunt Glenda’s Bakery did an Aggie cake for both of them. This reception had a lot of things worth blogging about like when DJ Joe Martin played the Aggie war hymn or I could write about the cute slide show that played on the north wall all night, buuuut the thing I really want to tell everyone about is the dance than Jordan shared with her brother, Taylor. This started off like any other dance, sweet and slow. About half way into it the music starts to skip and of course everyone turns to the DJ like “what is going on?” then out of nowhere the music turns into Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and they begin to do the dance! Then it turns into NSYNC’s “Bye, bye, bye” and they nailed that dance too! They also incorporated the “Oops… I did it again” by Britney Spears and Soulja Boy dance. Then with a little help from Jordan’s mom and junior bridesmaid (Jordan sat this one out for obvious reasons) they let everyone know they needed to “Put a ring on it” like Beyonce said. After the dance medley the music turned back into the slow song and they ended with Taylor dipping Jordan. If it is not already on YouTube, I am sure it will be soon! When it goes viral be sure to give the Wellington its credit! Haha! At 11:00 we called last call at the bar then Jordan changed into her leaving dress and the couple made their exit! I hope you two are having a blast on your honeymoon cruise!




To Mr. and Mrs. Ballard, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Scheller, annnd Mr. and Mrs. Carver THANK YOU for letting us be a part of your special days. You have made July of 2011 one I will never forget. The Wellington wishes you a lifetime of happiness and the best of luck on your futures together as husband and wife!

I would like to give another special thanks to United Regional and Bill Bates for trusting us to accommodate one of your biggest events of the year. And also to all of the photographers, caterers, planners, cake makers, and DJs that helped July 2011 turn into such a successful month for the Wellington. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Teach me how to Dougie...

July 15, 2011 was the big day for Ashton Miser and Caleb Watson. We hosted their ceremony and reception and I think it is safe to say that everyone had a good time. Kathy Bullard with was their wedding planner and she did a great job on making everything come together the way Ashton wanted it to. The ceremony was held outside on the terrace. We spent all morning draping pink fabric above the east wall, setting chairs out, and even putting little fans on everyone’s seat trying to help them beat the summer heat. The ballroom tables had black linens with hot pink centerpieces and damask design tying it all together. Before the ceremony started we greeted Ashton and Caleb’s family and friends with cold bottled water in the foyer. Finally 7:00 came and it was time. Ashton was a vision in white (and pink high heels.) The way Caleb looked at her when she was walking down the aisle made my heart melt. Caleb kissed his bride and then everyone found their way back into the Grand Ballroom so the reception could begin. While everyone was having dinner, which was catered by Johnny Carino’s, a slideshow played showing the couple before and after they fell in love. After dinner comes dessert! The groom had cake balls in strawberry, red velvet, devils food, and chocolate flavors. They were delicious! The bride’s cake was white with the black damask design covering it. It was also very tasty! My favorite part of the night was when Ashton and the best man, Colbey, got out on the dance floor and taught everyone how to dougie!! They were really good dancers! And I learned a new dance! Thanks you guys! All good receptions eventually have to end. When it was time for the night to be over we sent off Ashton and Caleb with a sea of bubbles! I am sure that the photographer was able to get some great shots of it! I will post them for all you blog readers as soon as we get them!

To Ashton and Caleb, thank you for letting us be a part of your day! I enjoyed this day so much and I hope y’all did too! Everyone looked so beautiful from the bridesmaids in white and black dresses, and groomsmen in white tuxedos, the bride in her dress and pink high heels and the groom in his white suit! We hope your honeymoon in Florida was a blast! Good luck in all your future endeavors as husband and wife!

What a Weekend!

The first weekend of this month was crazy busy around here! As I hope you have already read July 1, we had Ricka and Blaine’s ceremony and reception, July 2 we got to hang out with Tiffany and Weston for their reception, and on July 3 we got to do it all over again for Aaren and Brandon’s’ ceremony and reception too! I had the pleasure of being here all three days, and now I get to blog about it soooo here it goes…


Tiffany & Weston McCalip




July 2, 2011 was all about Mr. and Mrs. McCalip at the Wellington! We had so much fun at this reception, I was so sad when it was time for the newlyweds to make their exit! Judy with Kathy’s Bakery was the coordinator for this day, and she for sure lived up to her end of the bargain. The ballroom was decked out in hot pink and black. There were even little hints of zebra in some places. The tables had centerpieces on them with hot pink flower arrangements on top. The head table was set up on the stage behind the dance floor. Judy and Kathy made an awesome drape to hang behind the wedding party that had the couples’ initials on it, and a little bit of bling too of course. The foyer was absolutely amazing. The table had Tiffany’s mothers wedding gown and Weston’s mother wedding gown on mannequins, the trains covered the table perfectly falling all the way to the floor. There were pictures set up of the couples grandparents and great grandparents on their wedding days. It was nice to see all of these people still happily married. It was also neat to see the style transformation of the dresses through the years. Tiffany was a gorgeous bride. She looked like just like one of the brides you see in the magazines, only prettier. Mark Schroeder provided the tunes for the night and as always did a great job. When the clock struck 9:00 it was time for the ol’ red Studebaker truck to pull up and take the young couple off into the night so they could begin their honeymoon. It made for some very cute pictures as everyone threw pink rose petals and waved their goodbyes!







Aaren & Brandon Halencak




The next day our team came together to get everything ready for Aaren and Brandon. Kim Southard with The Swanky Thang was the planner and like always everything turned out perfect. The day started with an early morning rehearsal. One for the ladies and one for the guys since the tradition does say the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other on their big day. After that the guys headed of f so the girls could get ready. We turned the music up and got to work. Aaren and Kim decided to go with brown table linens and orange centerpieces. There were also hints of ivory in the ballroom which really set the orange tones off. The ceremony was held inside. The bridesmaids wore brown dresses and the groomsmen wore ivory suits. Aaren looked like the perfect bride in her dress. She really did a great job picking out that gown. During the ceremony Aarens brother, Adam, sang his rendition of “Wait for me.” He has an amazing voice. After the ceremony, always comes the reception, and this was a great party. Monarch set up a mashed potato bar, salad bar, sliders and a fruit station. And as always the food was delicious. Kathy’s Bakery was in charge of the bride’s cake and it too did not disappoint. The groom’s cake showed Brandon’s love for the Texas Rangers and chocolate covered strawberries. Iron Horse set up the bar, and kept the guests cups filled all night. I’d have to say the funniest part of the night was when it was time for the bouquet and garter toss. Brandon with the help of his best man, Austin, pulled out his hard hat and tool belt and then put on quite the show. Finally after using all the tools he had he was able to pull the garter off of Aarens leg and throw it to the single guys in the crowd. What seemed as such a short time after, the clocked turned 12 and it was time for the party to end. Everyone threw birdseed as the couple made their exit.






I had such an amazing time working with both of these couples and their families! Thank you to Lauren Pinson with Lauren Pinson Photography for the great pictures of Mr. and Mrs. McCalip! And thanks to DeEdra with Photo[E]motion Photography for the awesome pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Halencak!

To Tiffany and Weston and Aaren and Brandon, thank you for letting us at the Wellington be a part of your big days. You guys were great to work with and we hope y’all nothing but the best of luck on your new ventures as husband and wife!

"It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding!"

July 9th was definitely a hot day in July for Nathan and Laura’s Wedding Day! However, despite the Texas heat, even the white flowers held it together for this special day.
The excitement started early here at the Wellington as the bridal party arrived in a white stretch-Hummer. The girls applied their make-up in our Bridal room fully stocked for full-relaxation and enjoyment as the rest of the wedding party and guests enjoyed the sun poolside at the Holiday Inn Express next door! The bridal party ended their time here, before loading back into the limo for the church, getting photographed by the amazing Rachel Archer who is going to provide us with beautiful pictures of this romantic and exciting day! Be on the lookout for her pictures to be posted!

Meanwhile, in the ballroom, the wedding planner was putting her final touches to the white floral arrangements full of roses, hydrangeas, carnations and orchids that were beautifully arranged by Kim Southard with The Swanky Thang. The centerpieces were absolutely stunning and elegant! We even had Shiloh back in the house helping out!

6 o’clock came and went as the lovely couple exchanged vows at a local church. Thoughts of “I Do’s” and first kisses were on our minds as we swept through the ballroom lighting candles and making sure things were just right for the newlyweds.

Hors D’oeuvres were served just as the guests began to arrive. Monarch Banquet and Catering passed bacon-wrapped shrimp along with scrumptious spinach quiche before dinner was served. The couple chose food stations of Sliders, Quesadillas and a Roast Beef carving station with horseradish sauce that would make any guest’s mouth water!

Once the wedding party arrived in an even larger vehicle, the bride and groom were swept off to one of our private rooms for an intimate first-dinner. I love this because, really, when do the bride and groom actually get to enjoy the meal on their special day? This way, they got to share some time together reliving the day’s events before being introduced for the first time as husband and wife in our grand ballroom!
Once Laura and Nathan entered the ballroom, the festivities began! They immediately danced their first dance followed by the father-daughter dance and mother-son dance.

The speeches were to follow. They were each full of laughs as well as tears. My favorite part of the speeches had to have been the matron-of-honor’s advice as a married woman herself. She said, “You fall in love by chance. You stay in love by choice.” These are wise words to live by! With as many weddings as we have seen around here, I will always keep that with me.
Then, onto the cakes! Kathy’s Bakery provided the stunning white bride’s cake and festive groom’s cake, which was surrounded by chocolate-covered strawberries and topped off with sugar made to look like ice! These cakes stood out especially this week thanks to the Wellington’s new toys: upgraded pin-spot lighting! There is nothing worse than your cake not standing out is what I always say!

Next: dancing! I have to say, I had my suspicions for this particular reception. You see the bride is an Aggie while the groom is a Sooner. So, on this particular day, the Wellington was a house-divided. Most of the groomsmen were from OU while many of the girls were Chi Omega sorority sisters from Aggieland. I had imagined the dance floor being divided with the guys not quite sure about these Aggie women. However, thanks to Drive the Band, I was proven wrong. Aggies and Sooners can, in fact, intermingle while dancing the night away. During dinner, the band played everything from Jason Mraz and John Mayer to the Beatles.
Once it was time to kick it up a notch, they really got the crowd up and moving! What got the guests to make their way to the dance floor was when the band played “Shout!” A wedding essential, of course, but the band was so into the song that even I found myself getting a little bit louder now! At this point, the band was taking requests and playing everything from Katy Perry to Michael Jackson to Prince’s “Kiss”, another wedding essential in my book. Being an Aggie myself, I particularly enjoyed when the band took a break to play the Aggie War Hymn. (Whoop!) A wedding involving an Aggie is incomplete without the whooping and swaying that we love so dearly!
The guests were dancing all night until the last song was played at 11:30 that was another Beatles' classic, “With a Little Help from my Friends.”
Once this song was over, it was time for the bride and groom’s big exit. The entry doors were opened and everyone was given a handful of birdseed to toss at the newlyweds who left in style in their, of course, white limousine.

And so an Aggie married a Sooner.
Congratulations, Laura and Nathan!
We hoped your day was just as special as you had imagined it to be. We wish you all the luck and love in your future together.
-The Wellington Crew
