f. duncan reyes events by design: Edwina & Thomas Tie the Knot!

THOMAS DeCOUD and EDWINA MARIE INOCENCIO

May 19, 2012

XIX

It was love at first sight when they met at Pinole Valley High and were sweethearts then ‘til now. She an accomplished Choreographer who danced her way to his heart. He's the NFL's top Safety with the Atlanta Falcons who scored a touchdown and fell in love. With them are their amiable English Bulldogs named Sir Lester DeCoud and Leela Mary Jane DeCoud. Both Lester and LeeLa’s dispositions are equable and kind, resolute and courageous, with a demeanor that is pacific and dignified – Thomas and Edwina's precious gems.

These two have been unseparable from the very start. And now they have finally tied the knot last May 19th at the majestic Hotel Shattuck Plaza.

Their spellbinding, magical Wedding design replicated to that of a Vintage Hollywood Private Club replete with vivacious colors of Red, Black and White with embellishments of Feathers, Flowers and Bling! "19", or rather XIX, is a very sentimental number and had special meaning to both of them. His birthday is on March 19^th… hers on April 19^th … and their Wedding on May 19^th- even their Bridal Suite was #519!

These gorgeous images were beautifully captured by the dynamic duo of Brook and Alisa Todd with A+B Photography. And I would be remiss if i didn't give special kudos to my incomparable "Wedding Dream Team" who were all masters of their craft in helping me put together this "Wedding Masterpiece"!

Lastly, to my fabulous Newlyweds, Edwina and Thomas – thank you so very much for giving me this opportunity, and for your love and newfound friendship. Congratulations!
