TIFTON — Brandi Michelle Oliver of Tifton and Larry Warren Jr. of Alapaha were united in marriage during a double-ring ceremony at 3 p.m. April 10, 2010 by Pastor Gary Cadwell at Brookfield Baptist Church.

The bride is the daughter of Derek and Debbie Robinson of Tifton and Andy and Joy Oliver of Donalsonville. She is the granddaughter of Ellie Hancock, Janie Oliver and Ed and Laverne Kerr. The groom is the son of Roy and Sheila Hogan of Alapaha and Larry and Clara Warren of Enigma. He is the grandson of Louise Warren.

The church sanctuary was decorated with a silver center candelabrum, two side silver candelabra, a center white column with a flower arrangement of greenery and gerbera daisies to match the bride’s bouquet and a candle arrangement surrounded with greenery and gerbera daisies in each window sill of the church. All the decorating and directing was done by Renee Forston of Ashburn.

Ceremony songs included “When You Say Nothing At All” by Allison Kraus, “History in the Making” by Darius Rucker and “When God Made You” by Newsong, which played during the lighting of the Unity Candle.

The bride was given in marriage by her father, Andy Oliver, and stepfather, Derek Robinson. She wore a white wedding gown by Alfred Angelo. The top bodice was heavily beaded with swag at the waist, a satin band with satin pick-up at the bottom and a chapel train with drawstring lace-up. The bottom of the dress was trimmed in lace and scattered with sequins and crystal beads. She wore a tiara and a waist-length white veil with Victorian lace trim. The bride carried a bouquet of full, brightly-colored pink, green, blue and purple gerbera daisies.

For her “something old” she wore a wheat penny in the bottom of her slipper. Her “something new” was her matching necklace, bracelet and earrings. Her “something borrowed” were diamond earrings from her aunt to wear in her second earring holes, and her “something blue” was a blue and white lace garter made by Doris Baldree.
