Mr and Mrs Havard at Cochino Lodge

Haley Smith and Jeremy Havard

Deep in the forest at Cochino, they became Mr. and Mrs. Havard.What a great wedding !!!  The wedding was held beneath the huge Pine tree forest at Cochino. The setting was beautiful. 

The guests were seated on church benches.  The Twins of the couple traveled in a red wagon down into the woods to enjoy the wedding festivities.  The tall pine trees towered over the couple with only the sky peeking through as the wind swayed the tree tops.  Large ferns and floral arrangements decorated the wedding site along with a vintage arch  that had a floral arrangement attached.  Antique Lanterns were placed on tree  bolts that lined the wedding walkway that led from the huge entry doors....  then winding through the forest to the wedding site. LaNell Havard  Rice was the wedding decorator and coordinator. She had great ideas and created a great feel for the bride and groom and family and guests.  She kept it on schedule and going in the right direction.

The Brides Maids were helpful and assisted in keeping the order- of-the- day Such a friendly and helpful group of ladies, that I am sure I will see soon.  Looking forward to this as they are fun and so pretty.

The food was delicious. The husband of  LaNell Rice had a grand spread of food cooked on site at the outdoor cooking area. .  Sharlene Sanchez also prepared food and helped to get the buffet line set up. Great help in the Forest too. If I had a chain saw, Sharlene would have cleared the woods. 

The guests were very gracious. Father of the bride was delightful and so complimentary of Cochino. Loved all the Brides Maids who helped throughout the celebration. Such a good group of ladies. . LaNell Rice a real worker and Sharlene didn't stop moving. The couple's twins stole the show. Adorable, looking just like their mom and dad.  Amazing.  . 

A lot of visiting, eating and dancing into the night. A great group of family and friends that  I hope to see again soon.

Sarina Musick was the professional photographer. Always welcome at Cochino. I can't wait to see her photographs of the wedding.
