LOCAL WEDDINGS
Hoffman-Fowler
Jennifer Hoffman and Ryan Fowler
September 21, 2013
You may recognize Jennifer from CBS's reality show The Amazing Race, a
world-travel-with-hoops-to-jump-through team competition that she and
her sister, LaKisha, won in 2011. Jennifer is also a former U of L volleyball
player. She and Ryan met two years ago through friends. "He says he was
intimidated by me at frst, but one night we got drinks at Drake's and that
was it," Jennifer says. "He did everything right from the beginning."
Jennifer wanted a stress-free celebration. She gives advice for the laidback bride: "Find a company that does everything if you are not a DIY
bride. Fleur de Lis proved to be a one-stop shop, from bouquets to table
napkins. I didn't have to do anything. The day of, I was drinking mimosas
with my bridesmaids."
"Booking at the Muhammad Ali Center, which held our wedding and
reception, saved on travel costs for limo rental or shutles for guests and
out-of-towners. It also allowed guests to have a free tour of the museum as
somewhat like a cocktail hour in between the ceremony and reception."
