Our Wedding Favor was designed and made out of mini Cowboy hat's
and decorated, with ribbon with the printed date and our names.
It was a magnet to, to be put on the fridge.





Me, the Bride and also the groom and the 2 male witnesses Have worn black hats that look like cowboy hats even that they are not authentic.



John (the Groom) came to pick me up in an old fashion car, An Impalla from '64 if I am not mistaken. We drove down to the civil town house.




The Bridal Bouquet, is a mix of Aruba and Texas.
The Greenery is made out of local Palm trees and there are (fake) Bluebonnets (since real ones where out of season). mikes with real Roses with Pink tips (Bride's favorite Roses).
And ribbons with dress colors of the Bride's Civil Dress.
The Bouquet was presented to the Bride by the Groom, when he went to pick her up.



The Wedding Bands where tied to two medium size black & white cowboy hats.
and this was handed to the groom when he walked into the Civil Town House by the Mother of the Bride, giving her daughter away. Groom walked in with it.
