the firefighter's flame
here was more to the wedding of Catherine
Mayo and Brian Byars than “love and cherish.”
When they wed in May, courage and honor
were also quite high on the list for the
Tucson couple.
As a firefighter, Brian’s commitment to his community is a
driving force in the couple’s lives. Seeking to draw attention to
that pledge, Catherine incorporated special elements into their
wedding—some of them a surprise to Brian.
“We decided to offer mints with firefighter-themed wrappers
scattered on the tables” explains Catherine, but “I extended
the idea more, without his knowledge.”
A custom cake topper featuring a groom in a firefighter’s
uniform holding his bride was a real show-stopper at the reception,
as well as a special groom’s cake adorned with flames on
the sides.
“To continue with the theme, our florist created two floral
arrangements which were placed in Brian’s personal firefighter
boots. The boots were positioned on plant stands at the beginning
of the aisle. Many of our guests were also firefighters so the
firefighter theme was a personal touch that signified honor and
love.”
To capture the special memories created at their wedding at
the Saguaro Buttes, Catherine and Brian had a photo booth for
their guests. Always an ideal ice breaker, the photo booth was an
opportunity for the guests to really cut loose and enjoy themselves.
Glass photo coasters for each guest were the perfect size
for those memories.
“Creating personal touches for my husband, family and
friends made my wedding day special and memorable,” recalls
Catherine.
