Rene
and Rhona Rubio, March 16, 2007
Christian Life Center, Harrison, AR
An exquisite
candlelit sanctuary was the setting for this double-ring
ceremony and the exchanging of vows, written by Rene
and Rhona. Their pastors, Ed Gann of Harrison, AR, and Mark
Hattabaugh of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, performed the ceremony.
Bouquets
of white Virginia roses adorned the chandeliers directly
above the center aisle that was lined with clear glass luminaries
and rose petals. An impressive display of more than 200
pillar candles surrounded the wedding party on the platform.
The
brides gown was custom designed by her mother, Nilah
Gann of Harrison and her Aunt Angie Looper from North Little
Rock,AR. This heirloom gown is made of silk-embroidered
European lace with an underlining of silk charmeuse. The
long, fitted sleeves and back were closed with 72 tiny satin-covered
buttons. Rhona, also, wore a finger-tip length mantilla
with a blusher veil made by her mother. She carried a large,
loose bouquet of white Virginia roses and peacock feathers
that was held together with satin ribbon and beaded, copper
wire.
The
groom wore a dark brown suit designed in Spain and the groomsmen
wore black suits with white shirts and copper colored silk
ties.
The
bridesmaids wore dresses of champagne dupioni silk adorned
with a tiny strand of ivory pearls at the long-waistline.
These dresses were made by her mother, aunt and friend,
Judy Hamby. They carried an all-white cascade of roses,
stock, freesia and peacock feathers.
