Tinsley-Slaughter
Brooke Lanier Tinsley and Adam David Slaughter were married Oct. 11, 2014, in a destination wedding on the Caribbean Princess in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ship’s captain officiated the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roye E. Tinsley of Mountain Brook. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Morton Slaughter Jr. of Vestavia Hills.
Given in marriage by her father, the bride was attended by Mary Ashley Miller of Mountain Brook as maid of honor. She wore a strapless, dropped waist, peau de soie gown with a sweetheart neckline. It featured seed pearls, sequins and Swarovski crystals. Her veil was made of antique Belgium lace attached to a jeweled head piece. She carried a handtied French spiral bouquet of miniature sweetheart roses and gardenias, the groom’s favorite flower.
The groom was attended by his son, Henry Graham Slaughter, as best man. He wore a royal blue woven linen two-button jacket paired with cream Merino wool gabardine trousers, a blue and white dual-striped shirt, a marine blue and lime green blocked stripe tie and a rolled silk pocket square.
A reception followed on the ship for family and friends who sailed with the bride and groom on their honeymoon. The wedding cake and other dishes were made by the ship’s chef, a former White House chef.
A second reception was held at a bistro-style venue at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, where a flute duo played on the balcony as guests arrived. The Regals provided music, and there were three large TVs in the courtyard for those who wanted to watch the three football games that night. A seafood table catered by Kathy G. included a massive ice carving of the cruise ship. Pastry Art created a tiered scalloped stand for assorted baby bites, and Olexa’s designed the cake and created a unique topper.
The couple now live in Mountain Brook.
