A gazebo covered in fragrant kiss-me-at-the-gate and white plum branches held the bride's cake, which was adorned with seasonal sugar paste flowers. The groom's cake of triple chocolate was featured on the desert table.
Guests enjoyed a delicious buffet featuring beef, ham, chicken and a varied bountiful selection of side dishes. The wedding party and guests danced the night away to music by the Fabulous Shades featuring music from the fifties and sixties.
After traditional family dances, the bride and groom left to the glitter of sparklers in an antique 1939 Ford. After a honeymoon in Honolulu, Hawaii, the couple are making their home in Dothan.
