Box, Bien exchange wedding vows
Lori Baize Box of Pecos and Michael Joseph Bien of Brownwood exchanged
vows in a candlelit ceremony at seven in the evening on Saturday, Aug.

Hugh Jeffus of Stephenville officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Gail and Hugh Box of Pecos. Lori is a 1999

The bride was lovingly escorted down the aise by her father and given
in marriage by her parents. She wore an ivory satin gown designed by Carol
Hai for Moonlight Jewels. A princess-lined bodice adorned her neckline
with hand-beaded Madeira lace. Long fitted sleeves of Madeira lace illusion
were complimented by a continuation of delicate lace and beads forming
the hemline and semi-cathedral train. Lori wore pearls which were a gift
from the groom and his mother, Mrs. Esther Deanda Bien. To complete her
ensemble, the bride chose a two tiered waltz-length veil attached to a
tiara headpiece designed with pearls and crystal bead floral motifs. She
carried a bouquet of mixed brilliant colors that included irises, lilies,
roses, delphinium, larkspur and statice.
Julie Lumpkin of San Angelo was the bride's maid of honor. Honorary
bridesmaids were cousins of the bride, Heather and Lee Slack of Dallas.
Friends, Tammy Colster of Temple, Lindsey Exum and Leslie Armbruster of
Pecos, and Sandra Avila of Irving, served as bridesmaids. All were attired
in floor-length black crepe dresses and carried bouquets of the same flowers
as the bride.
The bridegroom wore an Oscar de la Renta white dinner jacket over a
platinum vest. The groomsmen wore tuxedos identical to that of the bridegroom.
Jason Bien of Brownwood served as his brother's best man and groomsmen
were friends Michael Davis, Jim Sutton, Corby Rogers, Chad Walker of Brownwood,
and Koh Box of Irving.
Flower girls were Rachel Filsoof, cousin of the bridegroom, of Atlanta,
Georgia, and Rayann Box, cousin of the bride, along with her brother, Nathan
Box of Pecos serving as ring bearer. Also, Garret Gleaton of Arlington,
nephew of the bridegroom, served as a ring bearer.
Others in the wedding party were ushers, Peyton Belvin of Alvarado,
and Jarred Villalovos of Skellytown, the bridegroom's nephews. Lighting
the candles were Sterling Worrall of Euless, cousin of the bride, and Zachary
Campbell of Alvarado nephew of the groom. Special music was provided by
soloist, Jessica Cook of Stephenville. Giving out programs were cousins
of the bride, Zachary and Allen Quisenberry of Abilene. Reading from the
Old Testament was the bride's cousin, Jason Upchurch of Monahans, and from
