Stephanie Moffitt and Bobby Chandler Marry at Cochino Lodge

May 26, 2012

Stephanie and Bobby had their wedding ceremony at Cochino Lodge

Relatives and Friends came from New York, Virginia, Washington DC,  Florida and the Carolinas to witness this wonderful event.  Other Relatives came from Lufkin and  surrounding cities.  The East Texas Forest was an adventure for some of the East Coast visitors.  Some had never been this far into Texas. 

The Bride chose to have the wedding ceremony  on the East Lawn under the old oak tree. It was a beautiful and well attended  mid afternoon wedding which allowed for a longer celebration and reception dinner. Some even fished after the ceremony and of course the day before. Caught a lot of fish and some really large ones.

The Reception was held on the Mid-Deck and was very elegant.  The tables were decorated with large vases of submerged red roses.  Napkins artfully folded, wine and water glasses, and the flatware and plates completed the  decor along with an identification number which led the guests to their special table.  The sparkling table setup was all that was needed to create the festive ambiance as well as being very functional.

Classic Guitar Music played during the ceremony and a DJ played those favorite tunes of the couple and their guests throughout the afternoon and into the early evening.  The food was catered and was a delicious treat as well as being well arranged and plenty of it and on time as well. Please tell me the caterers formal name _______________________________.  The group was delightful and easy to work with.

Enjoy the Photographs of the Moffitt and Chandler Wedding. The Bride was beautiful. She looked like a porcelin Doll, just perfect. The Groom was tall and handsome, what more could you ask for. Very Nice and honorable couple who have many, many relatives who wished them well.  I enjoyed meeting the families.

Chase Hunt and Ashley Barber Married At Cochino Lodge

Ashley and Chase

Married May 12, 2012

Cochino Lodge

A Wedding to Remember. The weather was so chilly that coats had to be worn part of the day and then as night fell. The temperature was perfect.  Families gathered from Madisonville, Sam Rayburn, Lufkin as well as far as California.  The wedding was well coordinated as family worked nonstop until it was done. The Bride made her flower  bouquets and they were beautiful. Black and Red were the chosen colors and decorated the Lodge throughout.  When the work was done everyone could relax and enjoy the rehersal dinner and music. Fishing was great on the lake. Many brought their rods and reels and some fished with a string and hook the old timey way.  There was lateafternoon dancing and a lot of fun had before everyone left to rest up for the next day's festivities. 

The Reception was catered by El Chico's of Lufkin, food was delicious and there was a lot of it. The cakes were beautiful.  The Bride's featured red roses and the Groom's had a Black hat atop a 'bale of hay'.  The Professional Photographer will send  Photos to my FaceBook, so look for this.  Hers will be great.

  

Ashley was radient and Beautiful

Her Mother and Grandmother were beautiful as well.

The Groom was so handsome and dashing and did not get to see his bride the day

of the wedding until the Ceremony began. He was just beaming.
