The musical prelude featured pre-recorded orchestral arrangements and Beatles’ compositions.
Kayla Parrish of McMinnville, cousin of the bride, attended the guest register upon arrival of over 400 wedding guests.
Urns filled with Konfetti roses were used throughout the sanctuary. The altar was illuminated by taper and pillar candles placed on white columns of graduated heights. Burning candles banked with ivy and magnolia greenery decorated the baptistery.
For her wedding, the bride was attired in a long, white satin gown. Beading enhanced the strapless bodice and A-line skirt that flowed into a chapel length train. Her jewelry consisted of a single strand of pearls belonging to her mother; a bracelet that was a gift from the bridegroom; and diamond and pearl earrings. She carried a nosegay of 24 Circus roses and greenery hand-tied with silver ribbon.
The bride had designed her tiara using crystals and fresh water pearls. Attached to the dainty headpiece was an elbow length veil of silk illusion with rolled edging.
Matron of honor was Erin Wells of Thompson Station and maid of honor was Olivia McGregor of McMinnville, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids were Gina Rose and Helen Burr, both of Nashville, and Robyn Daniel of Adamsville, sister of the bridegroom.
The attendants wore two-pieced dresses in a royal blue hue. Their sleeveless gowns were styled with a draped neckline and floor-length skirt. They held Konfetti roses hand-tied with silver ribbon to form nosegay bouquets.
Flower girl was Abigail Greene of Eagleville, cousin of the bride. She wore a white sleeveless dress with a scooped neckline and sheer apron-style skirt edged in a wide satin band. Abigail carried a basket containing Konfetti rose petals that she sprinkled along the bride’s pathway.
Ring bearer was Ethan Cross of Memphis, cousin of the bridegroom. Dressed similar to the groomsmen, he wore a black tuxedo with a blue vest and held a satin wedding ring pillow.
Best man was Anthony Brooks of Spring Hill. Groomsmen were Luke Rogers of Selmer, Cody Spaulding of Adamsville, Kyle Autry of Jackson and the bride’s brother, James McGregor of Brisbane, Australia.
The mother of the bride was attired in a floor-length navy dress with a beaded jacket. A plum-colored gown with long sheer sleeves and floor-length hemline was worn by the bridegroom’s mother. Konfetti roses formed their corsages.
Parents of the bride were hosts for a wedding reception in the church fellowship hall.
An array of hanging candle lanterns, attached to panels of white lattice, cast a soft glow on the party scene. Adorning the tables were burning candles and watering cans filled with long-stemmed Konfetti roses.
The four-tiered wedding cake piped with fondant free-form hearts was topped with roses in a silver bowl and surrounded at its base by votive candles, roses and greenery. Punch was served from a flowing fountain and silver appointments were used to display the array of wedding food.
At the bridegroom’s table, fruit pizza was served from an arched three-tiered stand. It was banked with roses, magnolia leaves and burning candles.
Servers were Susan Greene, Karen Craun, Rachel Adams, Laura Love and Emily Rupe.
Leaving the reception in their wedding attire, the bride and groom were showered with rose petals. A cluster of heart-shaped red and silver helium balloons were tied to the door of their automobile. They enjoyed a five-day cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico and four days at Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.
As prenuptial courtesies, the bride was honored at parties in McMinnville, Adamsville and Nashville. A dinner was given by the bridegroom’s parents in the church fellowship hall for the wedding party and guests. The bridesmaid’s luncheon took place at Avalon Hall on the Lipscomb University campus.
