Kaylie Wheeler and Drew Henley Wed At Cochino Lodge

What a great Day October 29, 2011.  Crisp Autumn day with the Sun shining. The Wedding was very Fall. The Wedding Brand was rustic. The couple's Brand reflected their interests and the artwork of the family and friends. Boots, spurs, hats and hunting were the inspiration as well as native flowers, leaves, and seeds. The lodge was decorated with Black boots with sun flowers placed throughout. The bride's grandmother Morris made the bouquets and table decor of wild flowers, leaves, seeds and pods that were  artistically arranged. The deck tables were adorned with  circle cut tree trunks with old lanterns sitting atop.  Beverages were presented in the Canoe as well as the wheeled cart holding a galvanized old bathtub filled with ice.    The bride's grandmother Wheeler prepared the wedding rehersal dinner as well as the reception food. This was a great feast and plenty of it.  Mother of the Bride as well as aunts and cousins worked throughout both days to insure a great wedding to remember.  Ashley Gallant worked endlessly as the Wedding Coordinator and did a great job.  Wedding favors of flavored coffer creamer in decorative fruit jars were given to the guests along with fall candies and sweet delights.  The bride's cake was made by Grandough Baking Company 936-632-1005 
and the Groom's cake was by Sugar and Spice -Please email the exact name and number .  The Groom cut the cake with a vintage knife made of horn, a gift from family. This cake sat on a tree trunk slice with the knife imbeded in the wood. It was handy for cutting the cake.
