St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Eunice was the setting for the evening ceremony uniting Aungelle Leah Fontenot and Trent Collins Vidrine in Holy Matrimony.

The bride, given away by her father, was radiant in an ivory decadent lace gown accented with a light gold underlay with a two-strapped V-neckline with silver Swarovski crystals. The full-illusion creation featured a lace-back fastened with covered butons. The fit and flare formal gown was accented with a gorgeous cathedral-train and matching cathedral lace trimmed veil.
Completing the bride’s attire, as Something Old, was a garter which was made of the maternal grandmother’s vintage wedding gown and was accented with a piece of her great-grandmother’s jewelry.
