Breckenridge, Kitchens vows exchanged
The bride is the daughter of Ruth and Homer Breckenridge of Donalsonville. The groom is the son of Nancy and George Kitchens of Tallahassee, Fla. The matron of honor was the bride's sister, Bethany McElyea. The bridesmaids were Jenna Kitchens, sister of the groom, Shana Bridges, cousin of the bride, Lauren Jones, Julie Martin, Lynn Ormsby, Julia Slack and Asheley York, college friends of the bride. Junior bridesmaids were sisters of the groom, Melody and Callie Kitchens. The best man was the groom's father, George Kitchens. Groomsmen were godbrother of the bride, Pierce Cannington, and six college friends of the groom, John Anderson, Phillips Jones, Ross Nelson, Jake Nichols, Tyler Slack and Jon Williams. The final additions of the wedding party were the flower girl and ring bearer, niece and nephew of the bride, Kate and Lane McElyea. The bride wore a floor length, paisley chantilly lace Monique Lhuillier dress in ivory. The dress featured a double v-neck and dropped waist. An ivory chapel sweep, raw-edged veil gently framed the bride's face. The mother of the bride wore a cyan blue two-piece ensemble with three-quarter length sleeves, ruched at the elbows and waist. The scoop neckline was accented with a bow-style collar. The mother of the groom wore a two-piece tea-length dress. The pale green suit-look featured three-quarter length bell sleeves. As they entered, Joy and Tony Buczek performed the song "Somewhere Out There." The bridesmaids were styled in beige seersucker knee-length dresses, embellished with handmade canary eyelet rosettes. The groomsmen were clad in khaki suits with a pale yellow tie. Steam Mill Plantation is a beautiful renovated white-column plantation home. The ceremony took place in front of the house, between two old oak trees. Emily and her father entered the site in a 1938 Chevrolet that was provided and driven by Greg's grandfather, Eugene Sanders. As the couple joined for the ceremony, Maribeth Burke sang "Feels Like Home," and following the exchange of vows, she and Les Bridges, uncle of the bride, sang "The Prayer" which was followed by Melody Kitchens closing with a marriage benediction, a blessing of the couple. Yellow, white, and soft pink gerber daisies and white geraniums surrounded the couple and a birdcage housing a bird's nest on which the wedding rings lay shared the stage. The reception was at the plantation site in a pole century tent. Tables were covered with a variety of vintage inspired fabrics, and centerpieces were designed by Will Barber using wildflower-filled unique containers such as vintage ice crushers, tin percolators, and vintage vases which were surrounded by ceramic bird votives. An antique Smith and Vernon typewriter was located at the entrance and was intended to serve as a guestbook. A Southern meal of fried catfish, ribs, smoked quail, brunswick stew, fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, cheese grits and more, which had been prepared by Dell Shingler and Will Fain and their staffs, was served. In the dessert tent, instead of a bride's cake were pecan, peach and banana pudding mini pies atop a tiered collection of tin platters and antique cake stands. Homemade ice cream in mini cones was also served. Guests were entertained and danced to music by Governor Davis and The Blues Ambassadors.
The couple honeymooned in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, at Royal Plantation and is living in Tallahassee, Fla.
