Yvette and Lou will be married in August on the front lawn of the Biltmore House, with an intimate reception to follow in the Italian Gardens.  This is an amazing couple, so in love, and truly wanting to share their joy with all their family and close friends over an amazing weekend in the North Carolina mountains.   Yvette is an absolutely stunning woman, and she is a clothing designer with Mira Couture in Chicago (check out the gowns on this website!).  She designed her own wedding dress, and I can’t wait to see it!  Lou is now retired, but was the President of Etrade Financial Service Corporation.  This couple could not be any nicer, and I know their wedding day will be exquisite.  I am so excited!  Here is a little more information on Yvette and Lou…
