Hebert and Siercks Celebrate Wedding at Cochino Lodge

The Hebert and Siercks had a stunning wedding celebration at Cochino lodge

The families gathered together on the eve of the wedding for the Rehersal Dinner and again the following afternoon for the Wedding.

The wind blew on Saturday which was  welcome by the crowd. The food was delicious and there was enough for another wedding left over.  Several kinds of meats, cheese potatoes, beans and bread with delicious southern sweet tea was ready after the wedding ceremony.

Connie Wells was the wedding coordinator and took the Bride's ideas and breathed life and fire into them making for a remarkable wedding.  Please note the photos and see the ideas of the Bride and Groom  which were set into motion by Connie Wells of Lufkin , Texas. 

Livingston, Texas was well represented at the Hebert and Siercks wedding at Cochino Lodge. Livingston has great families of which many have been to Cochino Lodge either attending weddings or putting them on. Cochino Loves Livingston, Texas. 

The Beautifu Bride

Her chosen colors of lavender were perfect

The Flower Girl and the Bride. The flower girl is at a wonderful age.

It will not be too long until she too is a bride. Already a beautiful young girl

who has a wedding sometimes in her future.

The Bride waited near the giant Fig Tree

Such a lovely smile during the ceremony

Sometimes almost serious

Again, the bride waiting until she meets the groom.

The guest register was carefully positioned by Connie Wells, on the flagstone, very handy for guests.

Connie made laminated photographs of the couple and hung them by invisible filiment from the tree limbs. These gently blew in the wind which created the illusion of a cool afternoon.  They also glistened in the sun like prisms.  Connie's ideas are so unique.

Tall towering vases with orchaids graced the bar where the photographs were displayed. Connie placed two peacock feathers in each vase which echoed the lavender colors of the bride. 

Ready for the Party to begin and the cool drinks to be placed in the ice filled boat.

The bride and groom begin the ceremony

Bought in Livingston, Texas-the Bride and Groom signs were so vintage

The cake was made by _____________(_please let me know her name as well as contact information).

It was just beautiful with matching flowers that adorned the cake. Connie Wells had two marevlous diamonds that are from her collection that flanked the edge of the Cake. Elegant

The Water Wagon was a hit as guests arrived and could get a cool drink of water. 

Connie Wells, attached lovely Lavender flowers to each of the 10 rockers on the veranda.

The Chapel was a great place to wait

                                                 


 

Connie had the attendents and special guests and family to

wait in the Chapel just before the wedding. She guided each one and made sure that they were down the aisle on time.  Each was instructed to turn off cell phones and get rid of chewing tobacco and cigarettes before they began the march down the aisle. 

Everyone said the bride's mother was as beautiful and as young looking as the bride. And she is!!!   Chris worked for months getting the wedding list together so that everything would be available to work with on this great occassion.  She did a great job.

The Bride and her Dad are just about ready to meet the groom at the alter.

Connie is along every step and straigntens the bride's train just before the guests stand.

Connie makes sure each groomsman has is properly attired. Nothing left out.

The Groom was so handsome. He was such an easy going groom and so courteous. He was a pleasure to know. His chosen groomsmen were as handsome as well as fun. 

The groom's table was decorated with gummy worms in a tackle box. Photos of the couple in a country setting as well as a large piece of vintage artwork was placed at the back and outlined a delicious chocolate cake decorated with strawberries. 

"a little bit of help from a friend"

Just married

The Kiss, I always love this part. They all have a little different personality.

Bet you didn't know a kiss had a personality!!!!

The Bride and her Mom made these gorgous Kissing Balls. There were many many of these that lined the seating at the wedding as well as decor within the lodge.  

A glow created by Connie Wells with a input from the bride and her mom

There were smiles and then there were Tears of joy as well as devotion.

It was so touching and memorable. It was so beautiful.

This is the way the sky and clouds looked just minutes before the Bride and her Dad walked

to meet the Groom and all the guests.

Still making sure all is on schedule.

After the ceremony, the Bride and Groom took a few seconds by themselves and walked

toward the water's edge as Mr. and Mrs. Siercks.

Weddings are like fairy tales come true.  It is such a magical time that begins a new journey with the one you will love for a lifetime.  It is that first step.

No matter how many times you hear the words that 'love is patient, love is kind....." this  never becomes old but is always a renewal of what is to come.  It is a little bit of heaven on earth.
