You are invited to the wedding of Claudia Alan and Rhys Sawyer!



Over at Buford Falls Church . . .



Rev. Lucas Brown, the new paster of the church, was beginning the wedding ceremony . . .
"Family and friends, we welcome you today to witness the marriage of Rhys and Claudia. You have shared and contributed to their lives in the past, and by witnessing their marriage ceremony today, they ask you to share in their future."



Ryan Sawyer, father of the groom, was seated on the front pew.



Rhys and Claudia's daughter Hannah was sitting with Rhys' daughter Megan Grace.



Rhys' son Ryan Carlson and his wife Cassie were seated together.



Rhys' son Kevin Anderson was seated with his wife Heather.



Rhys and Claudia's son Noah was accompied by his wife Miyuki.



Friends and neighbors of the bride and groom, Peter and MaryLou Edwards were seated together.



Larry and Joy Anderson, friends and neighbors of the bride and groom were seated together.



Mary Ashley, a friend of both the bride and groom, was seated with her boyfriend Tony Carras.



Jonathan Henry, the best man stood at the alter awaiting the bride and wondering why the groom hadn't arrived. He hoped Rhys hadn't changed his mind and decided not to show up.





Maid of Honor Shannan Henry, cousin of the bride, entered the church.

She was wearing a floor length purple gown with appliqued bodice.



As she walked toward the alter, she was puzzled to see Jonathan standing at the alter alone.




Shannan was followed by the bride, who was wearing a floor length white gown with lace overlay. Claudia made her way down the aisle to join

her groom under the wedding arch . . .



But when she didn't see Rhys, she was afraid he had changed his mind.



"Do you know what happened to Rhys?", asked Claudia.

"He told Jonathan this morning that he'd see him at the church", said Shannan, "I don't know why he isn't here."



"Excuse me, but where's the groom?", asked Rev. Brian.

"I talked to him this morning and he said he'd see me here", said Jonathan.

"As far as I know, he intended to be here", said Claudia.
