(Y/N) would often see him gazing over at Volks and sometimes going up to him in attempt to start a conversation, only to get either ignored or told to be left alone. Before going inside the house, Eli had made it clear that he already had some interest in him. This doesn't seem to stop Eli from trying to get close to him though.
Even with the arrival of two new guys, Volks unsurprisingly still keeps his distance. Unlike with Kelby however, he just can't seem to keep up with Eli. Nimh is a shy guy and cheerful people give him more confidence to speak with them. Because of this, their conversation doesn't last long. Although they both have energetic personalities, that's all they have in common. With both Kelby and Eli here, things have gotten much noisier with their loud chattering and antics. The couple enjoyed a short honeymoon in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and has plans to celebrate their one-year anniversary in Cancun.It hadn't been too long since (Y/N) had brought Eli back with her, and it was just as Volks had feared. The night was brilliantly concluded with a sparkler send-off as Amber and Eli made their way to their night’s carriage-a limo waiting to whisk them away to their new life together. A storybook event ensued including traditional vows, a first dance to the tune of “Better Together” by Luke Cohen, cake cutting with bridesmaids participating in a cake pull, and a bouquet and garter toss. The bride, escorted by her brother, Austin Whiteside, walked up the aisle to “From the Ground Up” by Dan + Shay. The wedding party of nine groomsmen, and ten bridesmaids outfitted in dresses of slate blue with blush accents, led the ceremony’s processional. Aunt Toni further surprised Amber by inviting photographer Paige to document the pre-ceremony celebration.
On the day of the wedding, Amber and bridesmaids enjoyed the hospitality of her aunt, Toni Celestin, at her home in Brookstone where the girls enjoyed festive decorations and party food as they got ready for the once-in-a-lifetime event. As a nod to their Thursday night tradition of dining at La Carreta and Eli’s fondness of the traditional Mexican libation, his groom’s cake featured a margarita and bottle of Patron.įollowing a rehearsal at Benedict’s on Friday, the wedding party and guests enjoyed pre-ceremony festivities at The 19th Hole in Covington. The flowers, provided by C J’s Florist reflected the event’s color scheme of slate blue, blush and white and coordinated with the four-tier cake which was created by Dream Cakes by Violet and topped with blooms of matching colors. The bridal outfit was a low-cut, shouldered ball gown accented in lace with a button-up back and extremely long train. Eli’s former baseball coach, Jeff Tircuit, with Mobile Beat Entertainment provided music along with lighting and a photobooth, and family friend Lucien Gunter presided as the officiant.Īfter searching locally without luck, Amber said ‘Yes to the Dress’ at Azarue’s Bridal and Formal in Bossier City while celebrating Thanksgiving in Ruston with Eli’s family. The couple also chose those with personal connections to help celebrate the day. On the recommendation of a friend, Amber and Eli selected Paige Kirkland to capture the event in pictures with videography by Chuck Billiot.
