Given in marriage by her parents, Jamie carried out the tradition of an old-fashioned wedding wearing her sister’s A-line white strapless wedding dress as her “borrowed.” A teal sash was held at the waistline with a silver brooch for “something old” from her Grandmother Frieda Clark of Newcomerstown. A blue flower given by her sister was placed in her hair. Her garter was made by her aunt, Cheryl Porcher of Newcomerstown. A coin from her mother was in her garter.
A diamond tiara was Jamie’s “new” item.
The bride’s mother grew the flowers and made all of the arrangements. Cheryl Porcher and Marci Clarkston, friend of the couple, made decorations and mints and cakes for the reception. Cheryl Porcher also made Jaelynn’s dress and the ringbearer pillow. Angie Welch of Newcomerstown made Jillian’s dress.
The cake top was used by Jamie’s maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Grewell, in 1953; the bride’s parents, Leman and Penny Clark, Aug. 4, 1979; and the bride’s sister and husband, Desiree and Kris Welch, July 8, 2006.
