Samantha Armour, William Callaway exchange wedding vows September 15
The bride is the daughter of Greg and Angela Armour of Rayle. The bridegroom is the son of William David Callaway of Washington and the late Joy Blackmon Callaway. The railings to the church were entwined with smilax and the front doors were accented with grapevine wreaths with orange and hot pink bows. Guests registered in the vestibule before entering the sanctuary. The altar was centered with a large sunburst arrangement of sunflowers, white chrysanthemums and hot pink and orange Gerber daisies accented with plumes of pampas grass flanked by wrought iron candelabra with votives also accented with smilax. Smilax banked the choir railing and the baptistery window also lined with lighted votives. A table to the right side held a picture of the bridegroom's mother and a white pillow candle in a setting of smilax. Brother of the bridegroom, Josh Callaway of Washington, lighted this memory candle. Family pews were marked with arrangements of Gerbera daisies and sunflowers with tulle bows and streamers. The center aisle was strewn with pink and orange petals on each side. Lighting the candles were Will Bentley of Rayle, Josh Callaway, and Jason Callaway, cousin of the bridegroom, both of Washington.
