David Prentice and Crystal
McLellan began their married life in
sunshine, even though it was pouring
rain before their wedding mass
began on Sept. 22, 2012 at Sacred
Heart Catholic Church in
Wingham.
The bride is the daughter of Max
and Barb McLellan of Brussels and
the groom is the son of Larry and
Ann Marie Prentice of Wroxeter.
A six-pillar candle of
remembrance burned at the back of
the altar, representing family
members who were in attendance
only in spirit.
Father Keith Morrison officiated.
During the bridal processional a
cousin of the bride played guitar and
sang.
The bride’s gown had a sweetheart
neckline with an A-line skirt
composed of many layers of
organza. The waist was accentuated
by a long sash that tied in a bow
at the back and had a handmade
flower for the front. Removable
organza straps were made for the
ceremony.
Maid of honour was Chelsey
McLellan of Brussels and
bridesmaids were Candice McLellan
and Cindy Black of Brussels and
Kristen Prentice of Wroxeter. They
wore knee-length, strapless dresses
of regency purple satin with
sweetheart necklines and a slight A-
line skirt.
Best man was Ronnie Higgins of
London. Groomsmen were Tim
Prentice of Wroxeter, Trevor Black
of Brussels and Sean Elston of
Hamilton.
Both godsons, Darren Prentice
and Ethan Burkholder participated
in the service, as ring bearer and
after-server, respectively.
Following the ceremony
the newly-married couple departed
from the church in a deep
purple, vintage Chevrolet pick-up
truck.
A reception was held at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre in Brussels
where a cocktail hour, dinner and
dance were held. The bride and
groom’s first dance was to music by
a jazz ensemble led by Charlie Bell
playing Van Morrison’s “A Day Like
This”.
The evening ended with a poutine
bar for a late-night snack.
The newlyweds enjoyed a
wedding trip to Jamaica where they
stayed in “tree-house” style
accommodation at the Sunset in the
Palms in Negril. One of the tours
taken was to Rick’s Café where both
the bride and groom jumped off the
West End Cliff.
On their return home the couple
took up residence in Hamilton.
MS –More and more couples
planning to walk down the aisle are
embracing save-the-date cards to
give guests adequate notice that
there is a party on the horizon.
Save-the-date cards do more than
let guests know when you’re getting
hitched. The cards are a preliminary
way to keep guests informed and let
them know they are, in fact, on the
guest list. These cards haven’t
always been so popular, but have
risen in popularity due to longer
engagement periods, a growing
number of destination weddings and
the growing number of couples with
guests from all over the country, if
not the world. Considering people
often plan business trips, vacations
and other excursions several months
in advance, save-the-date cards help
