Ron Guthrie and Randy Reed were two young wingmen in the Tactical F-15 Fighter Squadron located at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida during the 1980’s. They and their wives would remain friends, if only by yearly Christmas cards for years to come.  Then a chance reunion of the families brought two of their children together, Codi Guthrie and Tyler Reed.  As love blossomed,  so did the plans for the fairytale wedding that Codi had always wanted.

The wedding details consisted of a Who’s Who of Denton. Cafe’ Duluxe became the spot for planning sessions, and the bridesmaid luncheon was held at The Chestnut Tree on the Square.  Wedding guests comfortably stayed at the Hilton Homewood Suites at Unicorn Lake.  For the special day,  hair was styled by Daphne with Salon LaPage and make-up by Divine Inspirations, and all of the beautiful photography was by Widyn Photography.

The ceremony began with harp music and vocals by local artists Valerie Dacus and Larry Clark, and was held at First Baptist Church of Denton.  The wedding reception was elegantly decorated with a royal southern flair in the historical Hubbard Hall at Texas Woman’s University, and the five-tiered wedding cake was created by Candy Haven and decorated with dozens of fresh roses.

Tyler delivered a letter to Codi the day of the wedding,  in which he wrote ”I know you have dreamed of this day all your life, and so have I.  I will see you at the altar.”

For Codi and Tyler, and their families, the dream of a perfect fairytale wedding came true…Denton Style!
