Mrs. Marcy Griffin, mother of the groom, dressed in a lovely beige gown with lace jacket, was escorted by her son, Niklynn Dunn. She carried a vase of white sand. The vases of sand represented the separate lives of Rachel and Nathan.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mathis. The staff of General Woods Inn catered the dinner. The bride’s cake and groom’s cake, which were created by the groom’s grandmother, Gail Eason, were served for dessert. The bride’s cake was a five-tiered chocolate cake covered with white butter cream frosting. It was draped in cornflower blue swags. Double wedding bells trimmed in silver and an array of blue daisies adorned the cake. It was topped with a heart containing a picture of the bride and groom and was nestled in a bed of orchids and white roses.
The theme of the groom’s cake was math. A three-tiered butter cake frosted with chocolate butter cream was framed in gay-lax leaves. Various math functions and red candy hearts adorned the cake. The top tier featured the bride and groom in the form of stick figures holding a red heart.
Family and friends of the bride and groom enjoyed this celebration of love with laughter, music, food and dance.
Following a wedding trip to Pensacola Beach, FL, the couple will reside in Statesboro, where Nathan will pursue a Masters of Applied Mathematics and Rachel a B.A. in Early Childhood Education.
