On Saturday, September 1st,
The Georgia Club hosted the beautiful wedding of Natalie Reeder and Jackie
Gibson. Without a cloud in the sky, it was perfect (and hot!) weather for an
outdoor ceremony. The theme of the wedding was “Country Meets Class”, with the
color scheme of white and black with red accents. The ceremony was beautiful,
with the bridal party dressed in black tuxedos and gorgeous black floor-length
dresses. But no one up-staged the bride, as Natalie’s white and strapless
wedding gown was absolutely stunning!
The ceremony was very personal, as
the bride and groom both put their own touch on it. Jackie wore his signature
cowboy hat, and Natalie surprised the entire crowd by singing a beautiful song
as she walked down the aisle with her father. Jackie’s best man was Drew
Oliver, and Natalie’s Maid of Honor was Melanie Howard and the Matron of Honor
was Kelly Bellah. The bridal party included Gloria White, Cody Bellah,
Catherine Coleman, Clint Kerns, Kristin Coleman, Kaleb Sailors, Holly Kerns,
Ross Slizewski, Meredith Franklin, Tim Edwards, and Drew Franklin. The flower
girl, Lendon Reeder, and ring bearer, David Gray, were as cute as can be!
After Jackie and Natalie finally
said “I Do,” the bridal party danced out and got the party started! While the
bridal party and families took pictures outside, the guests socialized and
enjoyed themselves in The Georgia Club Ballroom. The Presentation of Mr. and
Mrs. Gibson kicked off the reception, and the bridal party had a blast as they
coordinated dances for their entrance to the song “Party Rock Anthem.” Natalie and Jackie looked over the moon as
they walked out together as husband and wife. They danced their first dance to “I
Believe in You and Me” by Whitney Houston, sang by one of Natalie’s friends
Nicole Wilder.
Following the dance, Natalie’s
father, Jeff Reeder, welcomed all their guests and gave a wonderful and
heartfelt blessing. The buffet dinner was absolutely delicious, and guests
enjoyed themselves as they ate and socialized.
The ballroom was decorated
beautifully, with red, white and black hanging decorations, as well as red and
black in the feather centerpieces that were a fun touch! After all the guests
finished dinner, it was time for dessert! The wedding cakes were very unique- the
bride’s cake had pictures imprinted on the icing of moments during Natalie and
Jackie’s life, and Jackie’s was a cowboy hat! It was another personalized touch
that made Natalie and Jackie’s wedding so special.
After
the cake was cut, and guests enjoyed their slice, Natalie and Jackie had their
dances with their father and mother. It was a beautiful moment, as they both
danced to songs that were perfect for the moment, including “Cinderella.” With
the dance floor in the center of the room, the guests danced the night away as
the DJ played such fun songs. Everyone was having a blast, especially when
Natalie tossed the bouquet to the song “Single Ladies.”
As
the night wound down, guests went home with custom-made lollipops they picked
up out of cowboy boots. As Natalie and Jackie departed, their guests lined up
leading the way to the golf cart held up sparklers to say goodbye to the
newly-weds. Jackie and Natalie held hands as they departed, and began their
adventure as husband and wife.
The
wedding was both personal and beautiful, and The Georgia Club had a wonderful
time hosting the event. Congratulations Natalie and Jackie! We wish you a
lifetime of happiness!
