“Many places were ‘home,’ and since Matt and I met in College
Station, we decided to do it here,” Taylor says. “It was home to us
for five years.”
Taylor describes herself as a simple person, and she
wanted that to be reflected in her wedding day. “I like things
to be clean and crisp,” she says. “I wanted it to be something
easy: white, cream, ivory. It is easy and everything would
coordinate.”
From the décor to the choice in vendors, easy, clean, and
simple were the perfect words to describe Taylor and Matt’s
special day.
Taylor and Matt were married at 2 p.m. at St. Mary’s in
College Station, which is an early wedding by most people’s
standards. That gave the couple time to relax before the
reception at Pebble Creek, and even allowed the guests to
mingle during a cocktail hour. In fact, the newly married
couple spontaneously joined their guests at the cocktail hour
before the reception, adding an extra special element to their
wedding day memories.
The rest of the night was spent dancing, eating, drinking,
and visiting with friends and family from around the country.
“It was amazing that so many of our family was able to come,”
Taylor explains. “All of our families were able to mesh and meet,
and who knows if they will ever be able to do that again.”
For future brides planning their weddings, Taylor has some
advice: “Once you know you want something, just stick with it.
Don’t let people dissuade you if they think it is too expensive or
if there is a better way to do something. Don’t let them make the
decision for you. You have a vision and it is your wedding.” i
