On Friday, October 2, 2015 Mrs. Joyce Gelpi Bazile & Mr. Michael Bazile held their wedding reception in our Pontchartrain ballroom!
What were the wedding decorations and cake details for Joyce and Michael's wedding?
The reception for Joyce and Michael's wedding featured their excited arrival, a romantic first dance, a charming Daddy-Daughter dance, a choreographed Mother-Son dance, and lively guest dancing. Upon their arrival, Joyce and Michael were eager to join their family and friends downstairs. Their first dance was sweet and romantic, followed by Joyce and her father's charming dance. Michael and his Mom also performed a fun choreographed dance that captivated the crowd, leading everyone to sing, dance, and join the bride and groom on the dance floor after these special moments.
Dancing was interrupted for just a little while when people lined up to dance with the bride and groom – “this is the only dance of the night that you do have to pay for!” – said the DJ as he announced the money dance! $$
Michael and Joyce toasted to the start of their new lives together before very carefully cutting their delicious cake topper; the guests quickly devouring these darling cupcakes. There was many threats of cake-smashing and the groomsmen even started chanting in an attempt to encourage the groom however, both the bride and groom walked away with clean, icing-free faces.
The Fleur de Lis Event Center loves couples who like to dance!
After the garter toss Michael gave a heart-wrenching speech about the three people in his life who’ve made him the man he is today; his beautiful wife being the most influential. Michael and Joyce ended their speech with the surprising announcement that their expected baby is to be a girl!!!!! All the theatrical lights suddenly switched to pink while their family and friends cheered and simultaneous wiped away the tears from hearing such a sweet, honest, and romantic speech. Following the last song of the evening, everyone second-lined right out into the courtyard where they sent-off Michael and Joyce to begin their lives as a married couple. The send-off was complete with bubbles!
