Catherine Annemarie Smith and Chad Michael Petty were united in marriage July 21, 2012 at The Inn of Brookeville Farms, a historical venue in Olney, MD. Happy first anniversary today.
Catherine is the daughter of Carol and Patrick Smith of Laytonsville, MD. She is the granddaughter of Mary Smith, of York, PA. and the late Marie and Peter Scholar of Smithstown, Long Island, NY., and the late Charles Smith of Baltimore, MD.
Chad, who completed his tour of duty as an Army medic in Afghanistan prior to the wedding, is the son of Sandra and Jim Petty of Bryan. He is the grandson of the late Helen and Charlie Meadows, and the late Kathryn and J.L. Petty, all of Waco.
The eve of the wedding was celebrated Texas Hoe-down Style at the home of the bride's parents with food prepared by the groom’s parents. Chad's God-Mother, Nancy Carpenter of Hot Springs Village, AK., and the groom's sister, Melissa Bordelon, of Spring, TX, also assisted with the celebration.
Attending the bride as her Maid of Honor, was her friend, Cathryn Calantonio of Rockville, MD. Catherine's Bridesmaid, also a friend, was Yekaterina Pidgurskaya, of Olney, MD.
The bride was given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father. As she entered the drawing room, she was greeted by the groom and his two sons, James and John Petty, who served as his best men. Also serving the groom was the bride's brother Michael P.C. Smith, of Laytonsville, MD.
Junior attendants were the nephew and niece of the bride, Duncan Poler and Lindsay Poler, of Baltimore, MD., as well as Kendall, Caitlyn and Madelyn Smith of Clarksburg, MD., also the bride's nieces.
The bride looked beautiful in a white satin, a-line princess dress with a beaded bodice, sweetheart neckline and cathedral train designed by a local Maryland designer. She carried a bouquet of white roses, hydrangeas and peonies with stems braided with white silk ribbon. Her attendants wore navy blue boatneck, tea-length dresses and carried blue, purple and white hydrangea bouquets. Her flower girls wore white dresses with navy trim and carried assorted white flower bouquets.
After the ceremony, the candle-lit ballroom, in an area originating from the early 1800’s, that over looked the rolling hills of Maryland, provided a picturesque setting for a cocktail reception, followed by an elegant seated dinner and dance, graciously hosted by the bride's parents
The couple honeymooned in Myrtle Beach, SC. and then relocated to Bryan, where Catherine is the manager of Willa Boutique, and Chad is currently a supervisor at the Bryan Target.It's better to you to consider best formal office dresses for women.
“In politics, it’s a battle, and you have to be a fighter.”
That’s the message from conservative stalwart and luminary Phyllis Schlafly. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller’s Special Correspondent Ginni Thomas, Schlafly, 88, voiced her doubts that the current Republican leadership is up to the job of combating their Democrat opponents.
“I’m afraid that some of them don’t want to be a fighter,” Schlafly said. “They want to have some kind of bi-partisan consensus and that’s not what we want. We want some significant changes… You have to have fighters, and I think they are not.”New Spring 2013 high quality high neck wedding dresses gowns,book your in-store appointment now.
Speaking about the RNC’s road map after the 2012 electoral defeat — which was often called an “autopsy” — Schlafly’s condemnation was swift: “I thought an autopsy was how you carve up a dead person to find out why he died. And I do not think the Republicans or conservatives are dead.”
