The bride entered the historic Hambrick Chapel at Roseland Plantation on the arm of her father. She wore a white, all over lace, A-line halter dress with pearl beaded embroidery, featuring an empire waist, split front, and sweep train with a matching beaded veil.

Guests in attendance came from Corsicana, Malakoff, Teague, Athens, Dallas, Marble Falls, Round Rock, North Carolina, and Mississippi. The guest book was a custom gold trimmed plate that depicted a hand painted monogrammed marine and bride couple and included the signatures of all the guests.
The maid of honor was the bride's sister, Miss Dalena Brown of Corsicana. The bridesmaids were the Bride's best friends Miss Morgan Coker, and Miss Ariel Clendening, both of Malakoff. All of the attendants wore short coordinating black strapless charmeuse dresses featuring a ruched waist and they carried bouquets of fresh cut red roses.

Following the wedding, a reception was held in the elegant Windsor House Parlor, located on the grounds of Roseland Plantation.

The wedding cake featured a Marine and Bride cake topper with black satin ribbon, strands of pearls, and red roses on each layer. The grooms cake was chocolate and decorated with the eagle, globe, and anchor Marine emblem, and was surrounded by chocolate dipped strawberries.
The Groom has been deployed to Afghanistan so the couple will plan a honeymoon upon his return. Upon the Groom's return to the U.S.A. they will reside at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
