Rigsby-Moore: Couple says vows in Gatlinburg

Suzanne Lynette Rigsby and John Ellis Moore Jr., were married recently in a 4 o’clock ceremony taking place at Victorian Gardens in Gatlinburg.

The bride is the daughter of Judy Love Rigsby of Morrison and granddaughter of Josie Love and the late Landon Love.

Parents of the bridegroom are Judy C. Moore of McMinnville, John E. and Linda Moore of Manchester. His grandparents are Dovie Walker and the late Alvin J. Walker, Harold Moore and Betty Moore. Step-grandparents are Russell and Anita Daniels.

The Rev. David A. Howard was the officiant.

The candlelight wedding scene was enhanced with a rose chandelier and a pink heart stained-glass window with pink roses marking the pews.

The bride was given in marriage by Ben Nixon.

The lace bodice of her bridal gown was designed with pearls and sequins accenting a square off-the-shoulder neckline and three-quarter sheer sleeves with lace motifs. The skirt swept into a flowing train. Her long veil of silk illusion, scattered with pearls and sequins, was attached to a tiara encrusted with pearls. She held a cascading bouquet of delicate pink and white roses and greenery tied with lace, ribbons and strands of pearls.

Kristie Love Crouch of Murfreesboro served as her sister’s honor attendant. She wore a long pink satin gown with spaghetti straps at the shoulder.

Patrick A. Moore of Manchester was his brother’s best man.

The bride’s mother was attired in a long pink linen sheath with a matching jacket. Her corsage was formed of pink roses.

After the ceremony, approximately 40 wedding guests assembled at the Brass Lantern in Gatlinburg for the reception.

The bride and groom are graduates of Warren County High School. She is employed by WMH Tool Group of Lavergne and he is an employee of Delk Performance of Lebanon.

After honeymooning in Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains, they are making their home in Unionville.
