St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Richard was the setting for the evening ceremony uniting Kimberlyn Brooke Fruge and John Paul Vidrine in Holy Matrimony.
The Nuptial Mass ceremony was held on Saturday, July 6 at 7:30 p.m. with the Reverend Wayne Duet officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Dayna Bundick Fruge and Joseph Glenn Fruge Jr. of Eunice, and the groom is the son of Denee’ Angelique Ardoin and Rickey Paul Vidrine, both of Pine Prairie.
Vocalist for the ceremony was Naomi Broussard and church lectors were Julia and Kaleb Ardoin.
The bride, given away by her father, was radiant in an elegant mermaid style dress accented with a large train of crepe and tulle. The floor-length veil featured a dainty, delicate lace trim, as this was Something Borrowed from a childhood friend Madelyn Boone.
The bridal gown featured an elegant bodice waistline with a halter-style neckline. The gown had a cut-out pattern back accented with sparkling gemstone appliques. Delicate pearl buttons lined the back of the gown. She chose a gold and gemstone hair accessory for her hair and wore matching earrings.
