The perfect setting for a wedding reception to begin.




The bride's cake by Modisette of Lufkin, Texas

The groom's cakes made by the Groom's mother Glenda Shepherd



Table decor consisted of fresh flowers
and photographs of the Wedding of the newly married couple. The table decor was alike yet all very different.

The canoe of fruit and cheese was like no other . The canoe was filled with strawberries

Melon, pineapple, strawberries, assortment of vegetables, and an assortment of cheeses and exotic crackers.

This was a show stopper !!!!!!!!!!

The Pineapple centerpiece was unusual. The crowd enjoyed the cold fruit that was iced.

Children played under the moss covered tree.
An arch provided a covering for the fruit punch on the Grand Deck


Delightful Cheese and a cream cheese fish decorated with scales of slivered almonds. Beautiful food.



Entrance to The Back Gallery which was decorated with colorful lights.


The Gathering Place






The D.J. from Silsbee did a great job






La Fruitilandia 8 of Lufkin, Texas

catered the meal which was reminiscent of the wedding feast in Curacao.

The Bride's 1968 Corvette
A gift from her grandfather, Jarrell Shofner, who bought

the Corvette when Elisabeth was 6 months old

and restored it.

The Grand Deck just before the party began.

New Use for an Old Barber's Chair. There's a first time for everything.
