Bride of Daniel Wesley Forsythe
As the guests stood with the
mothers of the bride and
groom to watch, Diane
Fisher, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Watson Fisher,
entered the sanctuary of the
First Baptist Church with her
father, who gave her in
marriage to Daniel Wesley
Forsythe, son of Mrs. Juanita

Georgia.
Reverend James M. Teresi
performed the impressive
ceremony at three in the
afternoon on Saturday, April
2, 1977.
The wedding party stood
for the single ring ceremony
against a background of
palms and two seven
branched candlelabra.
Mrs. E. M. Akin, organist,
rendered traditional wedding
music and accompanied Mr.
Tommy Storey who sang
“One Hand, One Heart” and
"It Seems I’ve Always Loved
You”.
Danny chose Bill Campbell
of Warner Robins as his best
man. Ushers were Bruce
Fisher, Macon, brother of the
bride, and Ned Nichols of
Perry.
Mrs. Lilli Ann Stone of
Perry attended the bride as
Matron of Honor. Her dress
was of white lace eyelet
embroidered in yellow. The
raised waist was circled with
yellow satin ribbon forming a
front bow with streamers. A
double ripple collar followed
the contoured pointed front
and back neckline. The
slightly flared skirt ended in
a wide ruffle. She chose a
white picture hat with yellow
ribbon trim. Her flowers
were a hand cluster of yellow
daisies tied with white on
white embossed ribbon.
The petite bride was lovely
in her wedding dress of sheer
silk organza and Venice lace
heavily dewed with seed
pearls fanning over the
raised bodice and onto the
long fitted sleeves which
ended in bell cuffs. The
Renaissance neckline was
rimmed in cut Venice lace.
Roses of the same lace were
sprinkled on the slightly
flared skirt which ended in a
circular ruffle flowing into a
chapel train. Tiny lace roses
edged the ruffle and train.
Sculptured Venice lace,
giving a yoke effect, and a
flat bow of silk organza at the
waistline added interest to
the dress back.
The radiance of the bride
was enchanced by her face
framer of Venice lace and
seed pearls with the attached
finger-lip veil bordered in
pearls.
For something old, the
bride wore a lovely pearl and
gold necklace given to her
maternal grandmother by
her grandfather on their
wedding day.
The bride carried a
Williamsburg bouquet of
white daisies with yellow
centers backed with ivy and
intersperced with baby’s
breath. Streamers of white
satin ribbon fell from the
bouquet.
The mother of the bride
w'ore a floor length mint
green chiffon trimmed in
peau-de-soie. Her corsage
was of daisies.
The groom’s mother chose
a floor length navy chiffon
with ribbon trim. A daisy
corsage was pinned at her
shoulder.
Special guests at the
wedding were grandmothers
of the bride and groom. Mrs.
Seaborn W. Maddox, Jack
son, Georgia, grandmother
of the bride, wore a flamingo
knit street dress with a
carnation corsage tipped in
the shade of her dress. Mrs.
Archie Williams of Warner
Robins, grandmother of the
groom, wore a street length
dress and jacket of coral

was tipped in coral.
The reception, given by the
parents of the bride, was held
in the Fellowship Hall of the
church. Mrs. Charlie Logue
and Mrs. Allen Stone, Sr.
received at the door. The
bride and groom, the Matron
of Honor and the mothers of
the couple formed the
receiving line.
The bride’s table was
covered in yellow with an
overlay of white lace. The
bride placed her bouquet
beside the beautiful three
tiered wedding cake before
she and the groom cut their
first piece.
