What perfect settings for such a beautiful wedding.  Kelly and Manny did an excellent job with every little detail for this wedding right down to Bogey’s (their pet chihuahua)  little outfit.  I loved how the color theme of their wedding coordinated with their  settings.  The blue of the dresses was incredible with the atmosphere of the church and reception atmospheres.   Everything just blended together beautifully.  They incoporated little touches for example,  their monogram as accent and decor.   Kelly was able to find monogram stickers for the windows that made it look like they were part of San Juan Oaks ballroom. It was such a simple but elegant display of class.

One thing that was unique about their ceremony site was both their parents and some of their siblings was married at the mission.  What an amazing place to have a tradition.  I love how they weaved their families in to their day.  All siblings were involved plus most of their nieces and nephews that could walk.  They were adorable and almost stole the show.   The boys, I believe there was 8 of them,  all came running down the aisle ringing their bells at the beginning of the ceremony. People were delighted with them as you heard the bells echoing throughout the sanctuary.   It was so unexpected and so much fun.

Another funny little tradition is that the girls arrive at the church in a motor home.  It all started off with getting to the church without having to sit and get the dress wrinkled. I was able to hitch a ride with the girls and it was a hilarious ride as Kelly stood and weaved back and forth trying to keep her balance, getting aspirin for people out of the cupboards,and people honking congratulations.  To top it off it was just a great place for the girls to chill and hang out in air conditioning before the ceremony began.

As for the reception is was filled with fun starting off with a photo booth for guest to sign as their guest book.  This is always a great way to entertain guest as the bride and groom  get some of their own photos taken. Plus, I feel they are more interesting to look at then just a photo of everyone sitting at a table.  Most guest have  a good time playing with the booth and creating goofy shots.   Another great thing was Kelly and Manny designed some signature drinks special to their wedding location.  The “Bogey” was one of them.  I don’t know if it was because they were at a golf course,or they namedit  after their dog or both.  I never thought to ask.  There was so many wonderful things about their wedding I wish I could share them all. IF you have a memory please share it.  But I know they had help and picked some wonderful vendors to create the day they wanted.  (I’ve listed them below for you to check out).  Please check out their photos and leave a comment we would love to know what you think or just to leave a congrats for the new Mr. and Mrs. Freitas.  And if you love this post don’t forget to vote for it.
