The maid of honor was Marissa Dee Fleming, of Dallas, sister of

The bride wore a custom mermaid shaped gown made
of antique white silk with random sized pearls encrusting the top and
fading down the dress. She also wore a cathedral length veil edged in
satin imported from Russia. She carried a bouquet of 24 black magic
roses made by Miralee Bingham of Andrews. Tying the roses
together was an antique white ribbon. Just before the ceremony, the
bride's aunt, Louise Fleming, presented her with an antique cameo brooch
worn by the bride's fraternal grandmother, the late Beulah Fleming. The
bride pinned it on her bouquet. She wore a pearl necklace with a
matching bracelet and earrings, given by her father.
The bride's honor attendants wore platinum colored gowns made

The candle lighters lit 36 candles to the bluegrass love song "I
Will" by Alison Krauss. The grandparents and mothers were seated to
the operatic song "From My First Moment" by Charlotte Church.
The bridal party walked down the aisle to the classical song, "The
Wedding March" by Richard Wagner.
During the ceremony, the couple chose several other songs;
"The Wedding Song" by Noel Paul Stookey, "I Will Be Here" by
Steven Curtis Chapman and "God Bless Our Love" written by John Lennon
and performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter. The bride and groom left the
church to the song "At Last" by Etta James.
The church was adorned with a large centerpiece of red
roses surrounded by large standing candelabras. Pews were also
marked with red roses tied with streamers of antique silk ribbon.
Guests at the reception were greeted by white luminaries lining
the entry and a large Texas star covered with lights, made by Jamey
Sawyer, uncle of the bride, which hung on the building. The interior was
also decorated with soft lights draped from the ceiling. A large Texas
star covered with lights and greenery, made by Dee Fleming, grandfather
of the bride, was suspended from the center. The guest tables were
covered in platinum clothes with large topiaries of red roses in the
center surrounded by silver star candles. Red roses also adorned the
serving tables. The bride's table was adorned with a four layer white star
shaped cake with raspberry filling covered in fresh red rose petals. The white
satin cloth, which covered the table, had been made by the bride's
maternal grandmother. The Texas shaped grooms cake, made by Alice Cryer
and Betty Cryer, mother and sister-in-law of the groom, was the centerpiece
