Tiffany Sachiko Keimi-Nunley became the bride of Justin Wade West June 2 at First Baptist Church of McMinnville. The couple repeated their vows in a ceremony at 3 p.m. officiated by Jason Brown. The guest registry was attended by Nicole and Lindsey Pena, and Martha and Liza Harvey.

Mr. West’s parents are Dean and Charles West of Oneida. He is the grandson of the late Artie Phillips and the late Lillie West.

The church stage was adorned in flowers in hues of pink, centered on white columns. A unity candle was placed on the ivy-covered stage. The candle was lit by the couple while ‘There is None Like You’ provided background music.

Invocation was given by Timothy Hicks, followed by a solo of ‘Knees to the Earth’ presented by Vanessa Oneal.

Tiffany was lovely in an ivory Allure gown with intricate beading at the waistline, with rouched skirting flowing into the train. She wore her mother’s veil, a handcrafted family heirloom. The bridal bouquet consisted of small calla lilies and freesia, wrapped with satin overlay and pearls.

Attendants wearing tea-length aqua models, accented with black ribbon, included Taylor Nunley, maid of honor and sister of the bride; Camren Harper, Beth Underhill, Erin Suska, Vanessa Oneal, Candace Smith and Kellie Newport, bridesmaids. They each carried bouquets of pink roses and magenta fillers.

Mary Grace Martin, the bride’s cousin, was the flower girl.

Serving the groom as best man was Nick Slaven, friend of the groom. Groomsmen were, Charlie West, Jason West, Aaron West, Josh Nunley, Ryan Duncan and Blake Lowe. Noah Ridge Martin and Hayden Newport were the ring bearers.

A reception followed the ceremony at Friendship Baptist Church fellowship hall. The ceiling was draped in white material, with aqua paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, providing a feeling of intimacy. Centerpieces of floating candles were placed on handmade runners with tea lights and roses.

Chocolate favors made by the bride and her sister, with a medical emphasis, graced the tables.

A four-tiered ivory confection of alternating chocolate and vanilla, was embellished with pearls and pink orchids and topped with a ‘W’ monogram. A red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and decorated as playing cards, served as the groom’s cake. Guests dined on southern style barbecue and danced to an array of tunes.

The groom is attending the University of Kentucky Medical School, and the bride will be attending the University of Kentucky physicians assistant program.

They honeymooned in the Riviera Maya and will be residing in Lexington, Ky.
