The bride was given in marriage by her mother, Beverly, and brothers, Jason and Clint Malone, who also escorted her to the altar. Allison’s dress was a strapless A-line, ivory taffeta gown with crystal beading on the bodice. The skirt had appliqued pick-ups accented by crystal beads, which continued to the end of the cathedral train. Allison wore an elbow-length veil that was enhanced by crystal beads on the scalloped edges. The bride wore diamond earrings that were a gift from the groom. She also wore her great-grandmother’s pearl necklace. In memory of the bride’s father, an angel pin was given and pinned to her gown by bridesmaid Rosie Deal. The bride carried a bouquet of hot pink stargazer lilies, white calla lilies, and pink roses with baby’s breath. Diana Agnew created all the bouquets, as well as the floral arrangements.
Cora Langan and Katie McKenzie served as maids of honor. Bridesmaids were Lindsey Glotfelty, Erica Rowley, Krysten McKenzie, Rosie Deal, Lindsay Bittner, Jina Malone and Amy Malone.

The ceremony organist was Patty Rice and soloist was Mallory Smith. Program attendants were Haley and Austin McKenzie. Photographer was Mary Minnick, grandmother of the groom.
After the ceremony, Clint Malone chauffeured the couple in his royal blue 1966 Chevelle convertible to the reception at the Eastern Garrett Fire Hall. The bride chose the colors black and hot pink to honor the memory of her late brother, Chad M. Malone, who drove a black truck with a hot pink snow plow. Judy and Julie McKenzie and Jina Malone created a beautiful large congratulatory mural, which decorated the front of the hall. Perry Kamp provided the entertainment. Thereafter, Ty Wiland, Andrew Minnick, Cora Langan and Lindsey Glotfelty each gave a wonderful toast before a buffet dinner was served.

A special thanks to Sharon Malone, Stacey Malone, Jill Rowley, Wilma Klink, Pam Harris, Pat Crowe, Vera Mullaney, Lyla Holliday, Jim Langan, Philip Carter, Shaun Broadwater and Dave, Cinda and Sarah Wiland for all their assistance.

The rehearsal dinner was hosted by the groom’s mother, Cheryl McKenzie, and assisted by Dave and Cinda Wiland. Cora Langan honored the bride with a bridal shower at Emmanuel United Methodist Church. Katie McKenzie hosted a bachelorette party for the bride at her home. The groomsmen also provided a bachelor’s party for Chris.
