Today, Dallas Wedding Planner features Angelina and Tim’s wedding entitled “Family Heritage Memories and Heirlooms in Dallas, Texas”.  The spring wedding of Angelina Ramirez and Tim Kilcullen was held at the beautiful St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church on March 29, 2008. The beautiful photos of the wedding were taken by Joseph Mark Photography and the beautiful floral decor was done by Di Fiori.

The bride was gorgeous in her Mon Cheri couture wedding gown.  To compliment her gown, Angelina wore a surprise wedding gift, a strand of 8mm Japanese Akoya pearls from her fiance that she received the evening before the wedding. The bride had white handkerchiefs made for each of their parents as well as themselves with individual monograms and the wedding date, in light blue, as a keepsake, and in case anyone ever needed something borrowed, blue, and old to use in future generations. Her bouquet, designed by Di Fiori, was all white cymbidium orchid blossoms with a pink throat.

Our priest Father David Kalert, was extremely special to us, being part of our family.  He is Tim’s mom’s cousin, and has married all of Tim’s family.  He now resides in San Antonio but used to work in the Vatican in Rome, Africa, and St Louis.  He was wonderful to have as such a large part of the ceremony.

Our wedding party was very special as well.  My sister Roxanna Ramirez was my made of honor, and she caught the bouquet!  Tim’s brother, Michael Kilcullen, was the best man.  The rest of our party were dear friends that we have known for up to 35 years!

Her bridesmaid’s Watters and Watters dresses were Tiffany blue and they carried a bouquet of deep red Charlotte roses and hot pink Super Nova spray roses.

I chose tiffany blue as the color of the bridesmaid dresses because Tiffany’s was the first piece of jewelry (and maybe even first gift) Tim bought for me.  I accented the color with red and hot pink to give it a springtime feel, and have a different color combo than the norm.  Roses represent my mom’s name “Rosalinda”  and calla lillies are my favorite flower.

The reception followed at the Lakewood Country Club in Dallas with beautiful centerpieces in tall dramatic clear glass vases filled with Dogwood branches. The dogwood was chosen as the centerpieces because it represented the neighborhood that Tim grew up in St Louis. Angelina chose different countries as the table names.  She made the name cards onto tiffany blue card stock with white paper over that, then the names of the guests.  On each of the same cards, she placed a beautiful teardrop crystal as a keepsake for their guests.

The cake, flavored in champagne was absolutely delicious, and so were the chocolate strawberries, although, i didn’t get to taste the grooms cake with being so busy!  But no one could stop talking about both of them.  Lakewood did a phenomenal job with the timing of the dinner, and the filet was cooked to perfection, and probably one of the best I’ve ever had!

During the evening, the bride’s father surprised her with a mariachi band, Los Reyes de Dallas. They entered the room just as the Angelina and Tim were about to cut the cake and continued to play for a while afterwards for everyone’s enjoyment. It was a great touch to add a part of their Hispanic culture into the reception.

After a fun evening of dancing, the evening concluded when the wedding consultants of Bride Associates got the guests lined up for Angelina and Tim’s grand exit. All of the guests were handed Flutter Fetti as their tossing items and then a burst of wonderful playful music filled the air as Emerald City lead Angelina and Tim out the front doors of Lakewood Country Club with a wedding march. A wonderful ending to a great day and the beginning of Angelina and Tim’s lives together all captured by their wedding photographer, Joseph Mark Photography.
