The church is in the country in Dorsey, MS which isn't even incorporated. I expected this small country church, but what a surprise when we drove up to a big beautiful church which was just beautiful inside.
Guests signs in at the table on the right.
The mother of the bride is super talented. She did all the decorating. Can you see all the tree stumps with candles sitting on them? And the trees are crepe myrtles. Many trees sacrificed their lives for this wedding!
There were 11 bridesmaids and groomsmen, two flower girls, and four junior groomsmen. The groom's father is the youth minister at this church and he performed the ceremony as well as served as the best man. It was a very touching and personal ceremony.
I took several pictures at the reception which was held at the church, also decorated so pretty using mums, pumpkins and things from nature.
The groom's table and area was decorated with a Mississippi State theme/hunting theme. They added pallets to the wall and hung cowbells and antlers.
The groom's cakes were caramel cake and served off stumps.
The reception was in the church gym and they glammed it up! There was lots of delicious food supplied by the women of the church.
This popcorn station was cute.
Marie and I had a nice lunch and visit with Betty on Monday. She was a bit exhausted from the wedding and a very relieved that it was over.
Betty's husband Jim died in April so this has been a difficult time for her. Betty has two new granddaughters, one 3 weeks old and one about 2 months old that was born just days before Jim's death. Betty's daughter made each of the babies smocked dresses for the wedding and she used two of Jim's old white shirts. The dresses buttoned down the front where the shirt would have buttoned. She had them monogrammed at the bottom in gray, the color of the wedding. They were just adorable and I know it meant a lot to Betty and I'm sure Jim was there in spirit.
Finally the rain let up yesterday and even though it was cloudy most of the day, it was good to see the sun peek out every now and then!
