Wedding Photo Album
CALISTOGA, CA July 18, 2009—Anthony (A.J.)
Foyt IV and Casey Irsay were married
Saturday evening in a simply elegant
ceremony held at the Calistoga Ranch resort
in the Upper Napa Valley wine country.
With a wedding theme of black and white, the
couple exchanged vows amidst a spectacular
backdrop of Lommel Lake and the surrounding
canyon with family and friends attending
from all over the country.
Radiant in her Caroline Herrera-designed
wedding gown, the beautiful flaxen-haired
bride appeared to glide to the white rose
laden wedding bower escorted by her father
Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts
football team.
Dabbing at tears of joy (as did most of the
guests) during readings and the exchange of
vows, the couple beamed wide smiles as they
strode out to the Beatles tune “In My Life.”
Larry Foyt served as Anthony’s Best Man
while Casey’s sisters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon
and Kalen Irsay, were the matron and maid of
honor respectively. The bridesmaids were
Casey’s friends Cara Kneer and Megan Noel
and Anthony’s sisters Tonia Poe and Casie
Foyt. Anthony’s groomsmen were lifelong
buddies Chase Ramsey and J.T. Gilley, his
brother-in-law Monte Poe, ex-NFL Colts tight
end Bryan Fletcher and Chris Beaty.
Anthony’s nieces Isabella and Claire Poe
were the flower girls and his nephew Blake
Straten was the ringbearer along with “Mugsy,”
(Casey’s 13-year-old Boston Terrier).
Following the wedding ceremony, the guests
were then escorted to the resort’s Wine
Cave, an actual cave that was turned into an
intimate room illuminated by candles to
create a warm atmosphere where guests
imbibed in fine wines and hors d’oeuvres.
The six course gourmet dinner (paired with
appropriate wines) was served at the
Poolside Patio.
Following the traditional cutting of the
wedding cake and the featured Candy Bar (all
white chocolate candy assortment), guests
were then treated to dancing in the Wine
Cave which was transformed into a
disco/nightclub.
A Sunday morning breakfast was held before
the couple departed for their honeymoon in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming. |
