Surprise Engagement Party for Joy Powell & Chad Gregory A
surprise party to celebrate the engagement of Joy Powell to Chad Gregory was enjoyed by family and friends at the home of her parents, Ken and Sherry Powell, in Brookhaven, Mississippi, on Friday, May 21, 2021. Chad proposed that afternoon, totally surprising his future bride! The parents learned what was afoot the week before so quietly and discreetly planned quite a party inviting family and a few friends. The proposal and the party were a complete surprise to Joy! The couple will exchange vows November 13, 2021, at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. Chad, originally from Tensas Parish, Louisiana, resides in Waco, Texas, the town that the then newlyweds both will call “home.” Photography by Bill Perkins
