Owen, Nuckols pledge vows

Simmons Chapel Free Methodist Church in Bradyville provided the setting for the marriage of Brandi Danielle Owen and Daniel Lee Nuckols. Their vows were spoken June 5 with Wendall Van Valin as the officiant.

The bride is the daughter of Danny and Sandi Owen. She is the granddaughter of Twila and Carl Underwood, the late Milburn Owen, all of Cannon County, and the late James E. and Hattie I. Crouch of McMinnville.

Parents of the bridegroom are Paul and Penny Reagan of McMinnville. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Taylor Jr. of Cannon County.

Lori Beth Crouch, a cousin of the bride, presided at the guest register. Clay Morton provided recorded music including “Meet Me at the End of the Aisle” and “Love You More.”

The bride, escorted by her father, was attired in a princess-style wedding gown of ivory satin with satin-covered buttons enclosing the back bodice. Seed pearls centering re-embroidered flowers accented a scooped neckline and cap sleeves and extended down the length of the long skirt, onto the train. Her fingertip veil of ivory silk illusion was caught to a rhinestone-covered bun wrap. Her wedding ensemble was complimented with rhinestone drop earrings and necklace and she held a bridal bouquet in hues of sage green and lilac.

Matron of honor Amanda Jo Dillon, the bride’s cousin, was accompanied by the bridal couple’s sons, Damian and Treyton. Bridesmaids were Michelle Owen of Morrison and Amanda Owen of McMinnville.

The adult attendants were identically attired in sage green, full-length frocks styled with demi trains. Their off-the-shoulder bodices with a lace-up back were designed with spaghetti shoulder straps and re-embroidered floral stitching. The attached skirts were enhanced with demi trains and they carried handheld bouquets similar to the bride’s.

Both of the children wore matching sage green-vested short sets with bow ties.

Flower girl Taylor Elizabeth Turner wore a tea-length, sleeveless dress in sage green. Small ivory blossoms topped each shoulder with more of the flowers and ribbons fastened at the waist of the layered skirt. She wore a halo of miniature ivory rosebuds tied with a sage green ribbon bow and streamers. Her ivory basket contained rose petals.

The bride’s nephew, Adam Bailey Taylor of Morrison, was ring bearer.

Best man was Kevin Michael Turner and groomsmen were Joel James Roark and James Dusty Rice.

Mother of the bride wore a tea-length, floral print frock in sage green with a matching short-sleeved jacket. The bridegroom’s mother wore a tea-length sleeveless dress in navy blue enhanced with re-embroidered stitching. Ivory roses formed their corsages.

The reception was given by the bride’s parents at the outdoor church pavilion where its support posts were covered in white and adorned with clusters of ivy and white satin bows.

Reception tables were draped in sage green with an overlay of white lace. Guest tables held small bouquets in the bride’s chosen colors of sage and lilac. Petunias decorated the reception tables and baskets of Boston fern were placed on columns at each end of the bride’s table.

Served from a point of interest was the three-tiered, heart-shaped wedding cake supported by white columns over a lighted, flowing fountain that was surrounded by lilac tulle at its base. The confection was adorned with lilac fondant roses with a Precious Moments porcelain figurine topping the anniversary tier. The bride’s bouquet served as the floral arrangement.

The bridegroom’s cake featured a Ford Mustang automobile.

A silver fountain punch bowl was placed on a separate table which was heavily laden with fruits, vegetables and hors d’oeuvres.

Servers were Jackie Taylor, Lori Beth Crouch, Stephanie Cox and Stephanie McCormick. Approximately 60 guests were in attendance.

When the couple departed, the bride was wearing a sage green sleeveless dress with a matching floral overlay. After a wedding trip to Gatlinburg, the newlyweds are residing on Short Mountain Road.

Both are graduates of Warren County High School. He is employed by Sparta Street Muffler. She is an employee of the Cannon County Board of Education and is also pursuing a degree in special education at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville.
