The Meeting
When Beverly Bovey and James Garber IV signed up independently for classes at UNLV to become registered nurses, they thought they had found a career path, but neither knew they would be learning about love. Who knew two California natives would find their hearts in Las Vegas, Nevada. Even on their first date, including lots of chatting, dinner and drinks, James knew that Beverly was special! Her spunk, intelligence and beauty were mesmerizing. He relished in all of this as they shared their first kiss that night. Beverly slowly realized that James was becoming not only her companion but her best friend who would always support her and love her perfectly.
The Engagement
James’ calm, patient and polite manners that attracted Beverly in the first place came in handy when he picked the absolute right moment during a beach getaway to pop the question! Of course Beverly’s response was yes and the fun of planning their August 2008 began!
The Wedding Day
The theme for this California couple’s Sacramento wedding was 1940s vintage with elegant white, champagne and black elements. Striking white French tulips, white calla lilies and white roses enhanced the beauty of the window lined veranda of Il Fornaio downtown where their ceremony and reception were held. Aimee, a close friend, helped write Beverly and James’ vows and officiated the ceremony, making the moment flawless. Beverly wore a classic Maggie Sottero gown with a handkerchief from James’ mom (as her something old) and blue Chuck Taylor’s (as her something blue). While a delectable meal complete with Red Velvet cupcakes and cream cheese frosting spoiled their guests, the photobooth and live music kept the guests entertained into the night. Keeping the guest list small and intimate to stay within their budget was difficult but proved to be the right choice. Guests were able to take home luggage tag name cards and photo strips from the Profinish photobooth. Beverly and James loved seeing the photobooth pics from their friends and family that were such a hit at the reception. The entire evening could only be described as “exciting, elegant and joyful!”
Their advice to other couples planning their wedding, “If you plan the wedding yourself (as we did), get a day of coordinator! It will relieve a lot of the little stressors and everything will run much more smoothly!”
