Did you ever play Clue as a kid? You know, the classic detective game where you move from room to room in a mansion to solve the mystery of: who done it - who killed Mr. Body!? Welcome to a wedding day with a unique reception inspired by that very game. Kimberly & Jake... way to make it your own!
Turning off the country road in Hallsville, driving through a long stretch of green fields (and yes, driving under a little black rain cloud as well), we discovered Hunt Villa. You saw it in the distance, set up on the hill, with its obvious Spanish influence of carved wooden doors and arches - a beautiful place for a wedding. But we definitely knew we were in the right place when we saw Jake and Kimberly's dog, Mabel, lying underneath a tree with an orange ribbon around her neck - clearly ready to celebrate! :)
Upon entering into the main hall, there was quite the flurry of activity by a host of family, as well as a cast of friends rehearsing lines for a surprise "murder mystery" skit for the reception. Upstairs, the bride and groom readied themselves for the day... with a little help from the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Nobody can resist a good swing. :)
We're big fans of Jake and Kimberly! Loved these fans as programs for the ceremony... pretty, and functional! (Especially in Texas!)
Following the ceremony, guests made their way through the villa to the courtyard ...
... where they witnessed a "murder"...
... and found their seats via "evidence folders." Each table was cleverly assigned a room name from the Clue game board. And let's talk about their wedding cake! We especially liked the touch of the bride and groom game pieces on top - definitely a first!
"...Above all things, have an intense
and unfailing love for one another."
Romans 12:10
We know there was an incredible amount of work and energy that went into the planning of such a fun atmosphere for your wedding day, Kimberly and Jake! Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of it with your many family and friends.
Congratulations to Prof. Plum and Mrs. White.... er ... Mr. & Mrs. Werner! :)
Jill & Kay
