Wonderful Spring Wedding in East Texas at Cochino Lodge


March 5, 2011
It seemed that Spring began on this day.  The grass was suddenly green and the pear trees were budding out with white flowers peeking through.   Nature's way of adding to the decor.  A great sign for the beginning of beautiful new life and a wedding about to happen.

Donald Coulter (aka Booger)  and Jana Jones began spring with a  great Ceremony.
Spring showers came and went just in  time for the couple to have a sunny outdoor wedding.
The open air Chapel was the setting for the ceremony. A slight breeze made waves in the fabric curtains creating ambiance of another era.  Age Old Church Benches were a part of the ceremony for the family to sit.



The bouquets were spheres of roses and cystals sparkeling.

The Groom's Sisters and the Bride's Sister all worked toward a well coordinated wedding with lots of food, music and fun. Juanita Coulter and Sharon and Kasey Thompson were busy, busy , busy.    We cannot forget the Groom and his attnedants who put the chapel into order and aligned all the chairs. Very Elegantly done, even the Brides Maids thought so too.

The Ceremony


The evening before the wedding, rain threatened the nicely arranged seating.  However the new day brought a warm sunny day and the wedding took place in the open chapel on  the  West Lawn. 







Love those feathers, these were the rage at this wedding.
Such sport.

Ring the bell to start the ceremony  and ring the bell when it finishes.  A marriage between two bells.
