Miss Ledbetter and Mr. Blackburn exchange vows

08.10.11

April Elaine Ledbetter and Justin Owen Blackburn were united in marriage June 4, 2011, at Conway First United Methodist Church. 

The sanctuary was decorated with large arrangements of purple gladiolus and lisianthus, white chrysanthemums and lisianthus, bells of Ireland, touches of lavender daisies and surrounded by palm leaves. They were backed by four tall candelabras with seven lighted candles each.

The organist, Betty Cohen, presented a concert of sacred music. The groom’s mother, Melinda Blackburn, was ushered in by Nathan Falls to the altar where she lit a candle representing the Blackburn family and was seated by the groom’s father, Kenneth Blackburn, and the groom’s grandfather, Owen Case. The bride’s grandmother, Clara Ledbetter, was ushered in by her son, Bill Ledbetter, Jr., and lit a candle representing the Ledbetter family. Ushers, including Corey Ledbetter, previously handed out programs and invited guests to sign the bride’s book.

The groom, best man and brother of the bride, Daniel Ledbetter and groomsmen, Lawrence Ryan III, Chris Addison, Derek Wofford, Daniel Daves and Pete Bland, waited at the altar as bridesmaids, Maggie Welch, Chrissie Havens, Krista Boncheff, Kara Hensley, Jessica Crisco, and maid of honor, Sarah Pavan, walked down the aisle. They carried bouquets of purple, white and lavender blossoms similar to the bride’s which highlighted their royal purple satin dresses.
