A Delightful Day Couple Featured in The Tennessean

Bilde We were so delighted that Chris and Tekuila, our Memorial Day weekend couple, were the featured couple in Nashville's main newspaper, The Tennessean just last Sunday!

Click Here to Read the full Tennessean article available online.

Mary Alice assisted Tekuila and Chris from start to finish in their wedding planning. Here is a recap of the wedding (with a few details corrected from the original printing).  


The locale: The wedding ceremony took place at Riverside Chapel Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nashville. The reception was in the expansive lobby of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The bride wore: A strapless ivory mermaid-style gown from Priscilla of Boston's Vineyard collection, purchased at The Bride Room in Green Hills. She wore a train-length veil with the pearl-and-sequin-encrusted dress.

The attendants wore: Raspberry-colored gowns from The White Room in Lebanon. Each of the 12 attendants wore a different coordinating top with the same floor-length skirt.

The flowers: Freelance florist Rhonda Patton of Rhonda Patton Designs created the bride's all-white peony bouquet and the attendants' white-and-pink rose bouquets.

The menu: Country Music Hall of Fame caterers served a meal of chicken, asparagus, roasted potatoes and rolls to the 300 guests.

The cake: The Bake Shoppe of Nashville baked the four-tiered white buttercream cake decorated with fresh pale pink roses. Cake flavors alternated between strawberry, chocolate Kahlua and vanilla.

The music:
Several soloists performed with a piano, saxophone and violin trio before and during the ceremony. Naked Soul played a variety of '70s rhythm and blues tunes during the reception. The newlyweds started off the dancing with Lauryn Hill's "Nothing Even Matters."

The footage:
David LaBrec of Nashville Wedding Video served as videographer.

The after-party:
Some of the wedding guests headed to Bar 23 after the reception, where Tekuila and Chris met them for more dancing and celebrating.

The honeymoon:
The couple enjoyed a seven-day cruise around the Mediterranean, stopping in Barcelona, Spain, and the Italian cities of Rome, Florence, Napoli and the island of Capri.

The wedding planner: Mary Alice Sublett, A Delightful Day Event Planning

The photographer: Sonrise Photography
