Abigail Sue Blanco and Dwayne Anthony Benoit were married on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, at The Manor in Cade. The bride is the daughter of Daniel and Debbie Blanco of Franklin and the groom is the son of Charles Benoit of Sorrel and Donald

 and Susan Hebert of New Iberia. Officiating at the double-ring ceremony was the Rev. Herman Ogea, uncle of the groom.

Escorted by her father, Daniel, the bride wore an ivory-colored, off-the-shoulder-style duchess satin gown featuring a portrait bodice embellished with bead-encrusted, embroidered lace. The A-line skirt was edged with beaded scalloped embroidery under a satin band and continues through the chapel-length train, which features a cascade of lace and satin. In her hair, she wore a silver filigree tiara accented with crystals and cut glass beading. She carried a concentrically-shaped bouquet of ivory-colored roses and lisianthus with lavender aster and thistle accents trimmed with an ivory-colored satin ribbon.
