Glynnis Marie LaGarde and Aaron Ray Linderman joined in marriage during a nuptial Mass at St. James Catholic Church in Mount Rainier, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C., on Aug. 7, 2010. The Rev. Pablo Bonello, IVE, officiated at the ceremony and was celebrant of the Mass.

Glynnis is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Victor E. LaGarde of Vicksburg, and Aaron is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Linderman of Tempe, Ariz.

The bride wore a slim, ivory chiffon-over-satin gown. The chiffon bodice folds fell from a halter circlet of ivory satin embroidered with flowers edged with pearls and crystals to the empire waistband of satin with matching embroidery. The skirt of ivory chiffon panels flared to chapel length. Attached to the halter neck, she wore a chiffon Watteau chapel train complemented by a fingertip-length veil of illusion edged with embroidery sprinkled with crystals and pearls.

Following a family tradition, she carried her great-great-grandmother’s, Bridget Murphy Glass’s, 1875 ivory wedding cross tied into her bouquet of ivory and blush roses.

Ringbearers were Cameron and Christopher DeOcampo, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Marc DeOcampo.

Matron of honor was the bride’s sister, Dr. Clare LaGarde Sanders, DVM, (Jason) of Brandon, Miss., and bridesmaids were Miss Sarah McCullough, Miss Karen Schultz and Miss Martha Tudor, of Washington, D.C. They wore slim-strapped gowns of deep blue chiffon-over-satin with crystal and beading accented floral-embroidered bands at the empire waists with blue chiffon stoles. They carried bouquets of magenta and blush peach roses accented with peach stock and green orchids and bound with ribbon.

The groom’s best man was his brother, Mr. Matthew Linderman of Tempe, and his groomsmen were Mr. Brian Shell, Mr. Barry McCain and Mr. Paul Heimann.

Ushers were brothers of the bride: Mr. Victor Justin LaGarde, Mr. Owen Mackey LaGarde and Dr. Thomas Emile LaGarde. Gift bearers for the Mass were the bride’s niece and nephew, Miss Jeanne Valerie LaGarde and Mr. Henry Victor LaGarde, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Justin LaGarde (Anne) of Keller, Texas. Altar servers were Mr. F. John Roderick and Mr. Nathaniel Hurd. Lectors were Mr. Christopher Wilson and Mr. Nathan Castellanos.

To honor the couple, a choir formed of friends of Aaron and Glynnis sang accompaniment for the wedding Mass. Dr. Lynn Monkres was organist, and Mrs. Agata Rottkamp was cantor. Preludes included “Sheep May Safely Graze” and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by J.S. Bach. The wedding party’s processional hymn was “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling,” by Charles Wesley/Rowland Hugh Pritchard. The bridal processional was “The Rejoicing” from Royal Fireworks Music by G.F. Handel, and the recessional hymn was “Psalm XIX” by Benedetto Marcello.

The groom was escorted by his mother and father, Rosemary and Stanley Linderman, and the bride was escorted by her mother and father, Glenda and Victor LaGarde.

Following the wedding, a reception was held at St. Francis Hall, adjacent to the Franciscan Monastery and Gardens in Washington, D.C. The couple honeymooned in the Shenandoah Valley.

Prior to the wedding, the bride was honored by her housemates at a bridal tea in Washington and by co-workers and friends at a bride’s brunch. The groom was similarly entertained by his brother, Matthew, the groomsmen, and residents of Quincy House in Washington at a bachelor’s party as well as by friends at Texas A&M. In Vicksburg, the couple were treated to luncheon at The Duff Green Mansion by Victor and Glenda LaGarde and greeted by family friends: Mr. and Mrs. Tom Patin, Mrs. Jimmy Hossley, the bride’s godmother, Mrs. George Abraham, Mrs. Robert McConnell, Mrs. Ray McLaurin, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Zelasko, Mrs. Robert Sadler, Mrs. Bob Welch, Sr. Mary Paulinus Oakes, Sr. Mary Teresa Finnegan and Sr. Mary Fatima Starks, Sisters of Mercy, and Glynnis’ school classmates, Mrs. Chesley Sadler Lambiotte (Brian) and Mrs. Amy Welch Bednar (Tony).

The couple will reside in College Station, Texas, where Glynnis is in the graduate program in English and the groom is completing his doctoral program in history at Texas A&M; both are teaching assistants.
