Dr. Meredith Leanna McCormick and Dr. William Mark Rhodes were united in marriage at four o’clock in the afternoon on December 30, 2011, at The Windows in Amory, Miss. Bro. Phillip Hathcock officiated the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Monty McCormick of Hatley, Miss. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Flurry of Fulton, Miss., and the late Mr. and Mrs. Ernest McCormick of Hatley. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rhodes of Kossuth, Miss. He is the grandson of Mrs. Joy Dale Rhodes and the late Mr. Max Rhodes, also of Kossuth. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore an ivory lace gown with beaded accents and a chapel-length train. In keeping with her love for all things vintage, she carried a bouquet made of blue and silver brooches that were donated by friends and family, and accented her hair with a satin flower centered with an antique snowflake brooch. Both pieces were handcrafted by the bride. Serving as both maid of honor and vocalist for the service was Miranda McCormick, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids were Tiffany McElroy, Mary Kathryn Wilson, Hollye Rhodes, and Chelsea Flurry. Serving as best man was Paul Rhodes, father of the groom. Groomsmen were Drew Rhodes, Dustin Morelock, Adam Bedwell, and Clint Spencer. Ushers were Ethan Flurry and Will Geter.
Ring bearer was Rhett Pickle and sign bearer was Zoey Duenas. Photography for the wedding event was provided by Phillip Crum, and videography was provided by Perry Newton. Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents hosted a winter wonderland-themed reception at Amory Church of Christ. In honor of their undergraduate alma mater, the couple left to the sound of their guests ringing cowbells in a flurry of man-made snow. After spending their honeymoon at Disney World, the couple now resides in Kossuth, Miss. The bride is employed as an optometrist at Garrett Eye Clinic, and the groom is a physical therapist with Magnolia Regional Health Center, both in Corinth, Mississippi.
