We would be overjoyed if you would participate in our ceremony by wear the recommended colors listed.

The bride isn't wearing traditional shoes in an effort to honor her late "Paw-Paw". Her grandfather, Melvin, was a shoe maker/ cobbler. In her childhood, he would make shoes for her. But if you look closely you will see the bride is sporting stylish foot jewelry.

We are having a "dry" wedding but our guest are invited to bring there own liberations. The bar will provide sweet tea, lemonade, assorted soft drinks and ice for your needs.
