Wedding Announcement

Teresa Marie Lowther and Solomon Bryan Mason IV were united in a service of Christian marriage Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010 at 6 p.m. in the sanctuary of St. Peter’s United Methodist Church in Katy under the direction of Susan Gaston, Altar Guild.

Teresa is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael M. Lowther of Houston, Texas and Geneva, Switzerland. Her grandmother is Marie Lowther of Cedar Bluff, Miss.

Bryan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam B. Mason III of Clinton, Miss. His grandmother is Jean Clark of Pensacola, Fla. and his grandfather is Rev. S.B. Mason Jr. of Raymond, Miss.

The traditional double-ring ceremony was officiated by Rev. William H. Watson. The groom’s grandfather, Rev. Solomon B. Mason Jr., participated in the ceremony as well. Nuptial music was provided by Avalon string quartet and trumpet, featuring the groom’s father as soloist. The church was filled with beautiful blush, pink, cream and champagne roses, ranunculus, hydrangeas, peonies, tulips, snapdragons and dendrobium orchids. Floral pomanders, tall candle stands with French silk ribbon streamers and flower blooms hanging from the tops adorned the sanctuary.

Given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride was lovely in a strapless Kenneth Pool gown of ivory Windsor satin, exquisitely trimmed with three bands of Swarovski crystals and a gorgeous cathedral-length veil. She wore stunning pearl and diamond earrings, a special gift from her father. She carried a beautifully rounded bouquet of cream and blush pink roses with crystals placed throughout the roses and stems wrapped in a cream criss-crossed ribbon with one-inch bands of crystals from her groom.

The wedding party follows: Pamela Lowther Perkins was matron of honor, and Solomon Bryan Mason III was best man. Marsha Elizabeth Hakim, Bonnie Lacey Horton, Paige Gatewood Kelly, Anna Kathleen Mason, Lauren Aderholt Milstead, Lindsay Butler Netherton and Elizabeth Jill Toler were bridesmaids. House party included Bonnie Bryan Houston, Kate Garrod Soheili and Amy Sikes Kummer, also scripture reader. Reese Jane Perkins was honorary flower girl. Cameron Bryce Farmer, Adam Chandler Lane, Michael Murphy Lowther Jr., Alan Lee Mumbower and Kevin Patrick Perkins were groomsmen. Ushers were Seth Baker Clark and Spencer Bishop Clark.

Following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Lowther entertained with a beautiful reception dinner at Royal Oaks Country Club. The couple arrived in an Empress Vintage Rolls. Kevin and Pam Perkins led the blessing. Family and friends enjoyed the music of John Milstead of Tupelo, Miss. and also “The Works” band of Houston. The cakes were by Gina and the “Love” Candy Bar was a sweet treat. Blush pink, cream and champagne monogram B and T shaped flowers, heart shaped flowers and the many tall centerpiece arrangements with up light details cast a romantic glow as the couple mingled with cherished family and friends, many who came long distances in extreme weather.

On the eve of the wedding, an elegantly appointed rehearsal dinner was held at Smith and Wollensky, hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Mason. A bridal day “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was held at Willowfork Country Club, and a “Pretty In Pink” party was held in January at Hotel ZaZa. Family friends of the bride gifted her with a stunning blush, black and white party at Maggiano’s. The groom’s family friends hosted a large reception celebration for the couple in Jackson, Miss.

After a honeymoon to San Jose Del Cabo, the couple is now at home in Los Angeles, Calif.

Best Wishes Bryan and Teresa, as you start a new chapter in your lives together.

Reese

I'm so excited! In a few days Bryan and I are flying to Dallas for a quick weekend trip to visit my sister Pam, her husband Kevin and of course my adorable niece REESE! She is almost 2 and is so smart, fun and just a little ball of cuteness! (Can you tell I'm a proud aunt?) Love you Reesie! Love, Aunt Tazzy

Blog Party-is it a DO or a Don't?

I think joining the Blog Party is a "DO!" It's so fun! Sort of...however...
I think joining the Blog Party was a mistake! I realize how much fun it is!
as if I need ANOTHER form of social media! facebook, twitter, linkedin, chatting on google,
blogging..and my FAVORITE...SKYPE! (a MUST-HAVE if you live far from your family like me...I skype with my mom, sis & niece at least 4 times a week!)
welp, at least you know where to find me I suppose!

Which makes me wonder, with all this blogging business...is anyone enjoying my blog babble? anyone even on my page out there? when you think about it, what is the point?
I'm sure I will continue to let (yet another) form of social networking add another hour (or more..oops) to my "productive" tasks that I should be doing! As if I need any distractions!
That's why I enjoy the world of TWEETS! You don't have to try to "format" to make your page look cute...just send a message and BAM! You have just sent a tweet.
This blogging takes me a lot longer, maybe because I'm a beginner....but I secretly wish more of you blogging gurus would join me via an @teresalowther or re-tweet! Anyways, time to turn off this adorable mac of mine!

A Day at the Beach!

Saturday Bryan and I spent the day in Santa Monica, California biking along the beach, eating out at one of our favorite restaurants, "Bubba Gump's" and just hanging out making memories. We gave each other bikes and it was the best idea ever! We really have enjoyed riding them around Hollywood, Beverly Hills and in Santa Monica along the ocean!

   

                      

My Houston Bridal Shower

This is long overdue! I thought I would share some photos from the most special bridal shower given by some of the finest Houston ladies!
Everything from the decorations to the food to the party favors were exquisite! The decor was perfectly themed with blush pink and black details, my bridal colors!
It was such a special day, the hostesses went above and beyond to make the bride feel special, and she sure did!

     There was a black and white themed candy bar!    
     This was one of my favorite parts! Love is Sweet!

Domestic Diva 101

Hello friends!

Well, if you don't know by now, I resigned from my job as an orthopedic sales consultant during my Bridezilla days..I simply could not fly from Los Angeles to Texas all the time, work full time AND be a Bridezilla full time. So to enjoy my wedding week and honeymoon to the fullest as I began a new chapter of my life, I resigned to prepare to be Mrs. Solomon Bryan Mason IV.

So here we are, two months as Mrs. Mason and a full time housewife. Now the downside to that decision is that I have been job searching ever since I returned to Hollywood after my fabulous honeymoon in Cabo! But to keep it positive, I know that God has an awesome new job in store for me and when the time is right, I'll land a gig that's bigger and better!

I have a secret though, I have actually enjoyed the role of Mrs. Housewife while being unemployed. I have taken up going to Spin Class, (okay so I only did that one time, but I plan on going back!) and I also have time to go tanning, work out and grocery shop during the day. It's fabulous!

Today I am feeling quite domestic-ish. Ladies and blog readers, I have purchased my VERY FIRST pot roast as I plan to prepare a yummy dinner for my hubby! (who just got a huge new promotion and deserves more than a pb&j's for dinner!)

So wish me luck! I'm decked out right now in a cute pink apron and just put my roast in the oven to cook a couple hours. Next I will make gravy and Funfetti cupcakes for dessert.

Oh and did I mention, I made home-made waffles yesterday with our Al-Clad waffle maker that we got as a wedding gift! They must have been yummy because Bryan ate three of them!

Cheers to being a domestic goddess ladies!

Wedding Dinner

Love is Sweet

Yesterday my wonderful hubby of two months came home and surprised me with a dozen HOT PINK roses & a bag of my FAVORITE candy, York Peppermint Patties just to make a special moment on our 2 Month mark of being Married!

It's the little thoughtful things he does that makes my heart melt every time!
God is good... marriage is a blessed thing when you love the Lord! Looking forward to blessings to come & a life growing old as Mrs. Mason with my true love, Solomon Bryan Mason IV! Love Is Sweet.

Life in LA 

After our honeymoon, we went back to reality living in LA...except this time as a married couple! 

When we got back to Hollywood, we were surprised to come home to tons of mail & boxes of wedding gifts that our neighbor had been collecting for us while we were in Texas & Mexico! 

We had so much fun ripping into all the boxes and playing house together setting up our china, pretty gifts and other items we received from our family and friends! THANK YOU! We feel truly blessed & loved! 

Our China is Waterford Ballet Ribbon and I absolutely adore it! Looks like Bryan does too! ha!
