Soulja Boy that Wedding

When I walked in on this Saturday afternoon I knew I was going to have a good night. Last month (yes, it took me almost a month to write this and I do apologize Mr. & Mrs. Tucker) on Saturday April 23, 2011 we had the pleasure of hosting the Ayres-Tucker reception. Vicki and Amanda Tole with Weddings by Spring Branch were the couples’ planners. Those ladies did a great job with this wedding. It was a very colorful occasion. The tables were covered with black linens and topped with green, pink, blue and yellow centerpieces. The walls were splashed with teal using our specialty LED lighting. The brides’ cake was 4-tie rd with pink polka dots and lime green swirls topped with a turquoise T. The grooms’ cake was the biggest (and tastiest) golf ball I have ever seen! Margie’s Sweet Shop did a great job with the cakes. El Chico’s catered the reception providing chicken and beef enchiladas. And yes, like Kendall, I love my job as food taster here at the Wellington. The chips and queso completed this amazing Mexican feast! Before dinner was served the father of the bride said a prayer and while everyone sat and ate we watched the cutest slide show of the couple. Marissa looked stunning in her wedding gown. The bridesmaids wore matching little black dresses and turquoise heals. The groomsmen wore black suits with turquoise ties and vest. Mr. Tucker himself wore a black suit with a white vest and tie. The photo booth, candy bar, and popcorn maker were outside on our terrace. It is no secret that we Wellington girls like to dance, and thanks to Mad Martin the dance floor stayed packed all night. For the mother-son dance they decided to play my favorite Rascal Flatts song, “My wish.” Now being a huge daddy’s girl, the father-daughter dance always pulls on my heart strings. We dimmed the lights and Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” starts to play, Marissa and her dear old dad start to dance and my heart just begins to melt. Then about a minute into it the music stops and we hear “Hey DJ, play something good!” Then to everyone’s surprise the pair pull out their "stunner shades" and we hear this classic Clapton song turn into Soulja Boy’s “Crank that” and they start to show off their superman moves!! It was so much fun! I personally think this was best father-daughter dance in the history of The Wellington. As the night came to an end, everyone waved the couple off as they whisked away in their limo to start their new life together. To Chris and Marissa, congratulations on finding your soul mates and thank you for letting us be a part of your big day! We wish you all the best!
