Ivory tulle ribbons with matching bows and greenery embellished the lampposts on either side of the front walkway and the wrought iron rails of the small historic church's entrance. Wreaths of white hydrangeas graced the double front doors of the sanctuary. Antique crystal and an arrangement of pink and ivory Anna roses and other summer flowers decorated the foyer while wide ivory satin bows, Italian ruscus and asparagus fern marked each pew on both sides of the central aisle. The same greenery and bows intertwined the candelabras that held tall ivory tapers on each side of an altar arrangement of pink oriental lilies, pale pink and ivory Anna roses, white snapdragons, misty blue limonium, rosario alstraoemeria and plumosa. Boston ferns flanked the podium.

The groom's close friend, Mr. Jeffrey Lance Gainous of Phoenix City, Ala., played the trumpet. Other music was presented by the Augusta Symphony String Quartet and Mrs. Linda Byne, pianist. At the conclusion of the ceremony, bells pealed repeatedly from the belfry.
