Joanne L. Davis and John W. Morgan were joined by family and friends on Saturday evening, June 11, 2011 and united in marriage. The ceremony began with a carriage ride down the drive of the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna, TN. Terry Givens and his beautiful spotted stallion from Woodbury made a graceful presentation of Joanne with her dad wearing her mother's lace dress re-styled for her. As guest arrived, they followed a path of white horseshoes to the ceremony for the couple.
After a lovely outdoor ceremony at the beautiful historic setting, the couple’s guest enjoyed a lovely dinner served by Jordan’s Catering, cake by Julia’s Bakery, and Maggie Moo ice cream to top it off! The couple then left for their wedding night stay at the Opryland Hotel, and hit the road for their honeymoon in Gulf Shores, AL.
