Crowley wedding ceremony unites local couple

Heidi Lynn Romero of Crowley and Jason Hunter Meaux of Rayne were joined together as man and wife during a 4 p.m. double ring ceremony on Saturday, September 8, 2012. The Reverend Jimmy Broussard officiated the nuptials at First Presbyterian Church in Crowley.

The bride is the daughter of Stephanie Gotte Romero of Crowley and the late Wilfred James Romero, Jr. She is the granddaughter of Jimmy and Marie Gotte of Crowley, Josephine and Charles Hoffpauir of Crowley and Wilfred, Sr., and Shirley Romero of Rayne.

The groom is the son of Ferdie Meaux of Rayne and Ramona Champagne of Houston, Texas. He is the grandson of Wanda and Teddy Bertrand of Crowley, Delmar Neil of New Mexico, and Theogene and Sable Meaux of Rayne.

Heidi and Jason both graduated high school from Northside Christian School in Crowley in 2009. Heidi is currently employed as an operations specialist at Stokes & Spiehler in Lafayette. Jason is the owner of Forever Farms, LLC, through which he works as a thoroughbred horse trainer at Copper Crowne Equestrian Training Facility in Opelousas.

Arriving guests were ushered to their seats by Ricky Sonnier, godfather of the bride, and Timmie Bruce, cousin of the groom.

Musical selections for the ceremony were provided by Michelle Harris.

Escorted to the altar by her brothers, Wilfred “Trey” Romero, III and Dylan Romero, the bride selected a richly textured Galina Signature gown of soft white lace over charmeuse embellished with all-over beaded soutache floral detailing. The gown’s strapless sweetheart bodice and fit and flare silhouette combined for a sleek and sophisticated look. The back of the dress featured buttons three-quarters of the way down and flowed into a chapel train.

For her headpiece, the bride selected a mini blusher veil featuring a curly feather and flower detail with a pave crystal center.

Heidi’s handheld bouquet was a combination of white orchids, calla lilies and roses. She carried the spirit of her father by entwining his Grey Wolf Oilfield ring among the flowers. Also entwined was a rosary bracelet made of ruby stones, her father’s birthstone.

Her father’s ring was also used to ensure good luck in the couple’s marriage, representing both “something old” and “something borrowed.” Other traditional items were her wedding dress as “something new,” and her wedding shoes, which served as “something blue.”

The bride’s sister, Heather Romero was maid of honor. Laticia Meaux, sister of the groom, was her bridesmaid.

Bridal attendants wore sleeveless, knee-length dresses of Malibu blue satin. The V-neck bodices ended in ruching-defined natural waistlines. Each carried a handheld bouquet of ivory antique roses.

Flower girl was Aleigha LeBlanc, niece of the groom. She was escorted by the groom’s nephew, Greyson Martin.

The groom’s cousin, Caleb Bruce, was best man. Cody Bruce, also the groom’s cousin, stood as groomsmen.

Ring bearer was Schoen DesOrmeaux, the bride’s nephew and godson.

For her daughter’s wedding, the mother of the bride, the former Stephanie Gotte, selected an Adrianna Papell, floor-length gown in iridescent charcoal gray chiffon. The surplice bodice featured a pin-tucked empire waistline, from which the skirt’s interlaced scalloped tiers flowed. Layered flutter sleeves perfectly echoed the skirt’s cascading tiers.
