BRYANT POND – Danielle Marie Wilson of Sumner and Phillip William Slocum of Ooltewah, Tenn., were united in marriage on Aug. 7 at the Woodstock Seventh-day Adventist Church in Bryant Pond. Their friend and pastor, Gary Blanchard of Texas, officiated at the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Kenneth and Laurie Wilson of Sumner. The bridegroom is the son of Peggy Slocum of Union Springs, N.Y., and Ronald Slocum of Dunbarton, N.H.
The wedding attendants consisted of eight bridesmaids and eight groomsmen, including the maid of honor, Savannah Wilson, sister of the bride and matron of honor, and Shelly Hume of South Lancaster, Mass., cousin of the bride. The best man was a best friend of the bridegroom, Blake Gorth of Tennessee. The flower girl was Brooke Albert, and the Bible boy was Jordan Hadley.
After the seating of the grandparents by the bridegroom, a candle lighting was held by the mothers of the couple, while a parents’ prayer was sung by the cousin of the bride, Michael Brown of California. A good friend, Jacklyn Souza, sang “From This Moment,” and was accompanied on the piano by Winnie Hodson. The flowers were red roses, which were fully assembled by the aunt of the bride, Leanna Wisnosky. The bouquets accompanied the dresses of the bridesmaids, which were yellow. Mike and Heidi Hartman had four special musical songs using guitar and violin. About 200 family and friends from as far away as California, New York and Tennessee were there to make the day special.
Lori Bean Winslow took many photographs, and her father, Brian Bean, drove the horse and buggy to take the couple, and then the bridesmaids, for a ride. A reception followed at the Ramada Inn in Lewiston. The three-tier cake was decorated with fresh fruit and was made by Beth Blake.
The bride is currently a junior at Southern University in Tennessee and plans to graduate as a registered nurse in December.
The bridegroom graduated from high school in Union Springs, N.Y., and works as a carpenter.
They are residing in Ooltewah, Tenn.
