The groom is the son of Larry and Tricia Copelin of Vicksburg. He is the grandson of Ida Mae Copelin of Vicksburg and the late Hollis E. Copelin, Anne V. Larsen of Nashville, Tenn., and the late Omer C. Parman Jr.

The church doors held grapevine wreaths embellished with white spider mums, roses and baby’s breath. A tall arrangement of white spider mums and roses in a brass vase adorned the back of the church. Displayed on the altar were two matching arrangements of baby’s breath, spider mums and white roses in brass vases.

Music was presented by Dorothy Brasfield, organist, and Mery Rose Worthington, bagpiper. Guests entered to numerous selections on the bagpipe. Following the bridesmaids’ procession to Beethoven’s “Hymn to Joy,” Westminster chimes announced the bride. She entered to Clarke’s “Trumpet Voluntary.” The recessional, presented on bagpipe, was “Highland Cathedral” by Michael Korb and Ulrich Roever. The postlude was Brahms’ “St. Anthony Chorale.”

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a custom gown, designed and made by the groom’s mother. The sleeves and upper part of the empire bodice featured hand-beaded, floral-and-vine designs on silk netting. The gown cascaded in princess lines to a chapel-length train, which held a triangular section of complementary beaded netting. The back featured a satin-button closure.

The bride’s veil cascaded from a rhinestone butterfly clip attached at the back of her hair.

She carried a handtied bouquet of white roses and lilies wrapped in black-satin ribbon.

Maid of honor was Danielle Dee Hammer of Denver, Colo. Bridesmaids were Melissa Copelin and Anna Dean, both of Vicksburg.

They each wore black, cocktail-length dresses in styles of their own choosing. They carried handtied bouquets of white lilies and roses wrapped in wide, black ribbon.

Flower girl was Carley Copelin of Vicksburg. Her custom dress, designed and made by the groom’s mother, was created with a sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves edged in hand-satin cutwork. The full skirt, bordered with beaded-satin, featured a tulle underskirt dusted with small, aurora borealis rhinestones. A sash cinched the waist.

She carried rose petals in a basket trimmed with white daisies and black-satin ribbon.

The groom’s mother wore a copper-and-black brocade suit with a copper shell trimmed at the neckline in copper beads.

All mothers wore white rose corsages.

A reception followed at McInnis Parish Hall at the church.

White lattice backdrops defined the cake tables, and the area featured a tartan drape in the groom’s family pattern. A white, Battenburg-lace cloth adorned the cake table, which held a white-satin runner monogrammed in a silver C. The three-tiered wedding confection, iced in white fondant, featured a top layer elevated on four white columns centered with baby’s breath. A custom Celtic love knot made by a friend of the groom topped the cake. A silver brooch with Scottish thistle held a tartan drape beside the cake.

The groom’s cake table was covered in a white cloth with a dark-green runner edged in tartan plaid trimmed by a Celtic C applique. The red-velvet sheetcake featured a Highland games field theme and a kilt-clad figure throwing a Celtic hammer. Edging the confection was a four-ply braid of white icing.
