Trey and Karla's Wedding in Benton, Louisiana

The story of our wedding

We got married in Benton, Louisiana at an all-inclusive wedding venue, Sainte Terre. They were phenomenal. We had a moody, woodsy wedding with shades of green. Trey and I first met 8 years ago and bonded over a frog shaped contact case. We both grew up loving frogs as kids and Sainte Terre found a beautiful way to incorporate that into the wedding: a frog shaped cake topper. It sounds corny, but it was perfect.We had a blended wedding with our Cajun & Mexican cultures. The food? Incredible. The music? So much fun! Sainte Terre’s chef is a gem. Not only did she make us feel at home, but her cooking was perfect. We had lemon cream cheese cake with blueberry filling, snicker doodle & chantilly cake.The guests were welcomed by a marachi band, ate late-night churros as they danced, and ended the night taking home-made mugs from Mexico home. One thing I’ll never forget was my carrying in a little box with my shoes from my first baptism—I cried a lot.
