Mallory Hinkle and Jack Thomas
Mallory Hinkle and Jack Thomas were married June 19th, 2010!
A June Bride (sigh) ... which is what Mallory Hinkle was on June 19th, 2010. As I think about this day, the word JOY keeps coming to my mind. All of the weddings I blog about are weddings I coordinate. It isn't unusual that I have a special connection to the bride or even the bride and her mother. But this wedding was special. I was blessed to meet, and get to know, so many people who love this couple and feel like I have a new family!
To the wedding.... 
The Celebration Garden was decorated with Sheppard hooks at each row with a sweet vase hanging with beautiful flowers. Mallory entered the Celebration Garden to the traditional Wedding March. Half way down the isle the music changed to James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" and Jack approached her and they walked together to the minister, Steve Conazman, who stood under a beautiful arch decorated with wisteria and tulle.
When the ceremony ended, Mallory and Jack grabbed a quick bite in private. Their guest enjoyed a yummy cocktail hour while we jumped on golf carts to head to The President's Reserve and the General's Retreat golf courses with photographer Rick Staines. We followed up with family pictures across from the clubhouse and it was time for Mallory and Jack to join their guests.
The Tilted Palm Pavilion was draped with beautiful white fabric, teal up-lights and Christmas lights which transformed the room into a club atmosphere! After the traditional dances, DJ Tom Underwood, turned up the music and the dancing began!
Later in the evening, guests were surprised with chocolate and vanilla milkshake shots with whipped cream and cookies! What a hit! Friends and family slowly left, not ready to leave this wonderful couple. Everyone had so much fun!
I want to send a special thank you to Mallory's mom Traci, her friend Dana and Jack's mom, Jodie. You ladies made this such a fun wedding! I have loved laughing and giggling with you ladies! I only hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!
To Jack and Mallory - I admire your love for life and each other. You are both blessed by such wonderful people in your lives. Congratulations, love and happiness always!
What a great night! And when I sat down at the table with Bill he didn't ask "how did it go?" He asked, "So, was Traci happy with everything?" I tilted my head to the side and asked him "how did you know her name?" He said, "Traci is the mom, right?" I have to admit, I broke into a giggle and started to apologize that I had gotten so involved with this wedding that Bill knew the mother of the bride's name. He immediately held his had up and said with a big grin, "Stop. You have had so much fun with this wedding and I have enjoyed you sharing it with me!" What a guy. Am I a lucky girl or what????
