The bride is the granddaughter of Mrs. Patricia Reed Bedells and Mr. Philip Dring Bedells of Clinton and Mr. and Mrs. Pat Thomas Nunnelee of Tupelo. The groom is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Morris King Thompson of Jackson, the late Mrs. Jean Walters Thompson, and the late Mr. and Mrs. Warren Lyon Roper. Dr. Bryant Barnes, the bride’s former pastor at Calvary, performed the double-ring ceremony. Nuptial music was provided by Kyle Young, Kara Young, Maegan Bedells, and a trio of violins, The Fiddlers Three. Her two brothers joined the violin with guitar and mandolin to play the bride’s processional of “Be Thou My Vision.” The sanctuary was filled with urns of white hydrangeas, gladiolas, lilies, daisies, bells of Ireland and roses. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a bridal gown of white re-embroidered Alencon lace embellished with crystals and pearls. It featured a sweetheart neckline and dropped waistline from which the full A-line skirt cascaded into a chapel length scalloped train. She wore a veil made by her grandmother that featured crystals edging the entire veil and attached to a comb of cascading crystals. The bride carried a hand tied bouquet of white roses, hydrangeas and calla lilies. She was adorned with a beautiful diamond bracelet given to her as a gift from her parents and a pair of antique earrings once worn by her grandmother. Attending the bride as her matron of honor was her sisterin-law, Kemily Weimer Nunnelee. Chelsea Ruth Hussey served as maid of honor while the groom’s sister, Virginia Grace Thompson, Casey Garland Smith, April Michelle Windham and Natalie Blair Bullard accompanied her as bridesmaids. The bridesmaids wore knee length hydrangea blue dresses of polished cotton and carried bouquets of calla lilies wrapped in white organza ribbon.
