The best part of the venue: “The part of the venue would be the view of Big Lake. It was absolutely a beautiful warm day with blue skies and the sun shining!”
Why did you pick your venue: “The reason why I picked this venue was that it had a lot of room for my guest. I loved how it had a lawn for guests to play cornhole. We had a pavilion for people to listen to music and dance. At the boathouse, we had a dessert table and food for guests to grab a bite to eat. It was just wonderful!”
Favorite part of your gown: “I LOVE my dress & the lace was absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🥰”
Why did you pick your dress: “I bought it in February 2019 and it was my tenth dress to try on. I knew right away it was the one by the way that it slipped right over my hips and showed my curves. I love the lace and the style! It was just absolutely beautiful the way it fit me. Plus I loved how it didn't have a long train. I wore it all day on my wedding day.”
Three words to describe your day: “Love & absolutely gorgeous”
Your inspiration for the wedding: “Gathering family & friends for our special day.”
How you met: “Benny & I met at a softball tournament on September 19, 2015.”
How they proposed: “Benny propose June 23, 2018, at a Family BBQ in La Puente, California. We were taking family photos and as we were taking an all-female cousin photo Benny was on one knee behind me and grab my mom's attention so that I would turn around. Well, I didn't realize what was going on so when I saw him on one knee I asked him if he was okay then realize he had a black box in his hand 🤣. I started to cry as I was standing in front of him and his words to me, "Chantal you know I love you very much and you are my rock. Will you marry me?" Of course I said yes and we kissed. It was awesome & funny. Till this day we laugh about it!”
Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “Everyone had a blast on there boat ride. But the best moment for Benny and I would be the weather. We looked up at the sky and thanked our loved one's in heaven. Benny lost his godmother June 12, 2020 and he lost his dad due to covid December 5 ,2020. 2020 was a rough year for us from family death, postponing our wedding, and ending the year to losing his dad -our son’s papa. 💔 But we enjoyed hearing everyone's laughter and seeing everyone smile on our special day. It was just absolutely beautiful!”
