STEAMBOAT SPRINGS WEDDING PICTURES
WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Miss Kendyl Lane Olds Weds Mr. James
Donald Beaird
Kendyl Lane Olds of The Woodlands, Texas and James Donald
Beaird of Porter, Texas were united in marriage at 5:48 p.m. in a double ring mountain
ceremony on June 28, 2014 at Four Points Lodge in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
The Reverend Jay Wright of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, performed the ceremony on the patio of Four
Points Lodge under a log arbor beautifully decorated with wisteria, lights and
fabric. Four Points Lodge sits on the
side of Storm Peak at over 9000 feet above sea level overlooking all of the
Yampa River Valley.
Parents of the couple are Daniel and Tracy Olds of The
Woodlands, Texas and Mr. Jim Beaird of Porter, Texas and Mrs. Betty Beaird of
Humble, Texas. Grandparents of the bride
are Pauline Freeman of Conroe, Texas and Daniel Olds of Bridgeport, West
Virginia (both in attendance).
Given in marriage by her father, Daniel Olds, the bride wore
an ivory satin strapless wedding gown featuring a mermaid silhouette with bubble
hem and chapel train... The gown had a
sweetheart bodice with delicate pearl and crystal beads accenting the empire
waist. The bride wore a tiara with a matching
fingertip veil enhanced with pearls and crystals and she carried a bouquet of white
roses wrapped with ribbon. Following
tradition, the bride wore a blue garter and as an Aggie bride – a new maroon
garter as well. She had a 2.00 bill in
her boot given to her by her Great-Grandfather, Frank Brake specifically for
her wedding day. Her something old was her same Great-Grandfather’s signet
ring. She borrowed a strand of her
mother’s pearls to wear.
Attending the bride were: Tasha Marie Proske, sister of the
bride from The Woodlands, Texas; friends of the bride, Tiffany Robinson,
Houston, Texas, Dawn Renken, Houston, Texas, Paige Jeanes, Spring, Texas, and
Chandra Ford, Robinson, Texas. The attendants wore dark violet organza gowns
featuring an empire waist with satin ribbon and ruffle accents. They each carried a bouquet of white and pink
roses. Bella Proske, niece of the bride,
carried a pillow with the wedding bands.
Scarlett Proske, niece of the bride, was the honorary flower girl
carrying the flower basket while she was in turn carried by Grandmother, Tracy
Olds, and the Mother of the Bride. The
ring pillow and flower basket were carried by Kendyl and Tasha in their Aunt’s wedding
in 1988. They were restored and
embellished for Kendyl’s wedding.
The groomsmen were friends of the groom: Joe Pugh, Spring,
Texas; Hantse Costas, Magnolia, Texas; Nolan Moss, Spring, Texas; Rhett Kirk,
Bullard, Texas; and Bob Arnold, Woodway, Texas. The ushers were Dave Phillips, Tomball, Texas
and Jesse Ballow, Nacogdoches, Texas.
The rehearsal dinner was a themed roast and toast hosted by
the bride and groom at McKnight’s Irish Pub in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on
Friday night prior the wedding. All
wedding attendees that had arrived were invited and many fun stories were told
at the expense of the bride and groom.
The newly built Four Points Lodge was the perfect backdrop
for a summer wedding in the mountains of Colorado. The Olds-Beaird Wedding was the first held at
Four Points. To reach Four Points Lodge,
everyone had to ride the gondola, and then ride a shuttle from Thunderhead
Lodge to Four Points Lodge. The view from 9,000 feet was incredible and
the sunset the wedding guests experienced was spectacular. Purple Mountain Majesty was a fitting theme
for the wedding. Tables were decorated with burlap and lace placemats and hand-painted
table signs; candles in mason jars, and purple and ivory hydrangeas in mason
jars enhancing the country lodge theme. A reception hosted by the bride’s
parents immediately followed inside Four Points Lodge.
For their honeymoon, the bride and groom stayed in their
condo in Steamboat Springs, Colorado enjoying white water rafting, mountain
biking, hiking, road biking, and relaxing at the hot springs. They will reside at their new home in Spring,
Texas.
The bride is a 2002 graduate of The Woodlands High School
and a 2006 graduate of Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in
Petroleum Engineering and is a Senior Reservoir Engineer with Anadarko in The
Woodlands, Texas.
The groom is a 1991 graduate of New Caney High School and a 2006
graduate of Stephen F. Austin University with a Bachelor of Business
Administration concentrating on Finance and Economics. James is Vice-President of Sales with Templar
Tactical Firearms.
There will be a Texas Wedding Reception at The Olds Ranch in
Anderson, Texas on October 25, 2014.
++++++
And yes there was. The Olds Ranch hosted the event for 200 folks. We enjoyed brisket that melted in your mouth, smoked turkey breast, sausage, with all the BBQ fixin's. We had a BlueBell dipping station and wedding cake. We enjoyed the DJ who also broke out his guitar and sang for us. The kids ran, played and dug in the dirt pile. The big boys shot at some targets and we had clay shooting. There was a lot of porch sitting and swinging on the porch swings. We had fabulous weather, good food, and GREAT company.
