Real Wedding - Miramont Country Club - Bryan, Texas

Crystal Lynn Rasor married Matthew Alan Scamardo on May 28, 2011 in front of 250 guests at the beautiful Miramont. These absolutely amazing moments were captured courtesy of Thomas Ross Photography)!


As friends and family walked into the venue, a table decorated with the couple's photographs welcomed guests. Details was lucky to provide decorations for the couple's big day! Black and white accents popped on pink backgrounds.


After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the patio which was dressed appropriately with pink pops of color. Distinctive Floral Designs from Houston, Texas did the flower arrangements.



Family and friends enjoyed a sit-down meal under mood-setting lights by Partyman Entertainment. DJ Rusty Snyder from Partyman kept the party going!



After the meal, guests enjoyed two beautiful cakes. A pastry chef at Miramont made Crystal and Matt's sweet dreams come true!




Speaking of sweets, the newlyweds treated guests to a candy bar! YUM!



After planning such a lavish event, Crystal had several pieces of advice for brides in the planning process:


"If you’re planning a wedding in College Station, consider yourself lucky. You should be thankful you don’t have 30 photographers to choose from; say if you’re planning in Dallas. But don’t limit yourself. If you don’t find a vendor that you love, pull from the next largest city. ...That way you get exactly what you’re looking for. Don’t become overwhelmed, at first it seems like you have a million things to do. And let me tell you, you do! But you can only do things one at a time, and that’s the best way to take them."

Are you ready for some football?

Football season is just around the corner and we couldn't be more excited! (Gig 'em Aggies!) Follow these tips to help you plan the perfect tailgate.

To see a Texas A&M University's tailgate rules and maps, visit http://tailgating.tamu.edu/index.html.


Tailgate Setup

After you've found your place to park, it's time to set up your area for your tailgating party. Open up your table or your tailgate. If it’s hot outside, you may want to purchase or rent a tent. Don’t forget to bring extra chairs. For great prices on tailgate rentals, visit http://www.detailseventrental.com/furniture/tailgate.htm.

Tailgate Food and Drinks

Stick to finger foods that are easy to eat and share. Choose foods like chicken, sandwiches, sausages, hot dogs, burgers and side dishes like chips, corn-on-the-cob, and raw veggies. For great tailgate recipe ideas, visit Celebration's website.


We don't even need to cover the drinks - everyone has a favorite and we trust you have this section already memorized. But, as a backup, you might want to pack some extra water, sports drinks, and even some coffee. Don’t forget cups, bottle openers and extra ice!



If you've chosen to grill some hot dogs, chicken, burgers or sausages for your tailgating party, you're sure to score some real points when you brand your meat with your teams’ logo. These hot dog and hamburger brands from JC Penney and Aggieland Outfitters are awesome!


You can get really creative when displaying condiments.


To make sure you remember to bring everything to the tailgate, we created this Tailgate Packing List.
