Le Romantique

Our family is Northern Cheyenne and we wanted tp combine our native heritage with our Christian beliefs. Corinne took the reins and helped us plan a beautiful day. Two teepees were placed to represent the joining of two camps, the bride was dressed in a homemade deerskin dress with beading and elk teeth. The groomsmen and bridesmaids arrived horseback with matching outfits and with horses painted. Our beautiful daughter was brought by her father in an old wagon pulled by his best horse. His horse was outfitted with a traditional drape passed down thru the family. The groom presented his soon to be father in-law with a horse as tradition to the family for the hand of their daughter. The wedding was facilitated by our priest and then blessed by our Cheyenne Holy Man. Corinne researched and listened to our family to learn all that she could to make this day wonderful beyond belief. Because the wedding was held at my grandfather's original home (camp) in the field. Corinne made sure that all invitations had specific directions to get all to the proper place. She arranged to have young members of family and friends direct traffic to parking. Others then escorted individuals to the field where she had straw bales placed for seating covered in native designed blankets. All participants were directed to be on que to secure a constant flow. After the wedding proceedings she made sure that the receiving line was executed in a fluent manner and guests could join each other and have a cocktail and mingle until we left for the reception. At the reception hall, Corinne arranged to have all blankets hanging in the hall before we arrived, images of the two teepees were presented a the front of the hall. Outside the hall she arranged to have hitching posts available to tie all of the groomsman's and bridesmaid's horses tied as well as the horse and wagon and father of the brides new horse. Corinne directed caterers in presentation of our meal with native decorations. I cannot say enough how professional Corinne was. She put tons of energy and time into arranging/researching and pulling off the most fluid wedding I believe I have ever been to. All of our needs were attended to as well as instructing others at the same time.
