Britian& Bryan B

ritian Saye and Bryan McKinney were married at the Castle on the Lake on

October 9, 2010. Britian is the daughter of Frank and Evangalan Saye, and Bryan is the son of Kevin and Kathy McKinney all of Jacksonville. Pastor James Morris officiated the ceremony.

A special thanks to my mother, Evangalan, my Aunt Tiajuana, my mother-in-law, Kathy, our special friends, Tracy, Charlotte, Sue, Sherrie, and Denise. Our wedding would not have been possible without your dedication and long hours of work spent on making our dreams come true. I want to thank our bridesmaids, groomsmen, fairies, ushers, and wedding party for being a part of our special day. It would not have been the same without you. Bryan and I would like to thank the Castle on the Lake, Chef Rick Neal, and Rob Gowin for lending us their staff. Many thanks go to Designs by Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Anne for the beautiful cakes, Boogie Butt Productions for the great entertainment, Chef Rick Neal for the fabulous food, Fireworks Artistry for the amazing fireworks show, Greensleeves Carriage Company for transporting our guests to the wedding, La Tee Da for the amazing flowers, and Paper Capers for the outstanding invitations. I would also like to thank the creative minds of Vanessa and Brent McKellar, my videographers, Matthew Hogan and Daniel Poe for creating my bridal portraits, and my talented wedding photographers, Dena and Russell Strban. Everyone did an outstanding job; I am so pleased.

The Old Parker Place

Mattox Entertainment

To achieve a vintage look for the wedding of Katy Newton to Hunt Holdridge at The old Parker Place in Hallsville, Texas, on October 9, 2010, more than 150 antique oil lamps of different sizes, shapes and colors were arranged in combinations with old doilies, antique bottles, mason jars, fans, books and fresh flowers throughout the venue and in the table centerpieces. Guests were seated by ushers Tommy Newton and Andy Newton, brothers of the bride, Justin Hawkins and Ford Meazell, friends of the couple. Escorted down the aisle by her father, Katy, the daughter of Tom and Rebecca Newton of Longview, married Hunt, the son of Wayne and Beth Holdridge, also of Longview, in the outdoor gazebo, under an antique chandelier with Judge T. John Ward officiating. Witnessing the ceremony were matron of honor Meredith Hartley, cousin of the bride; bridesmaids, Becky Holden, Tami Summers, Julianna Richard, and Lauren Kattner, friends of the bride; best man Tommie Daniels, grandfather of the groom, Blake Holdridge, brother of the groom, Zack Bussey, Chad Gibson, Chris McDaniel, friends of the groom. The wedding party walked down the aisle to acoustic guitar played by Zach Canter and Josh Hardin.

A fajita buffet prepared by Jackie Warren and John Sapp was served to 150 family and friends. The strawberry cake, decorated with rich cream cheese frosting and fresh cascading orchids, was accompanied by the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite dessert, ice cream with sundae toppings. The reception was held on the front lawn under strings of tiny white lights. A photo booth, set up on the front porch of the cabin with a quilt made by the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great grandmother as the backdrop, was where guests left their individual messages for the couple on small antique chalkboards. At the end of the evening, guests lit the way with sparklers as the newlyweds left the reception in a chauffeured 1964 silver Rolls Royce. After a honeymoon in Jamaica, the couple will reside in Houston, Texas.

AL JARREAU IN CONCERT

BERENSTAIN BEARS IN FAMILY MATTERS

29TH ANNUAL BOAT, RV & CAMPING EXPO

EAST TEXAS AUTO & CYCLE SHOW

AL JARREAU’S innovative musical expressions have made him one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed performers of our time with seven Grammy® Awards, scores of international music awards and popular accolades worldwide. He continues to top American and international jazz music charts and for a while, was a weekly guest in America’s living rooms singing the Grammy®-nominated theme song for the hit television series Moonlighting.

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS have enchanted young readers for generations. This new, fun-filled musical weaves together three of their popular books: The Berenstain Bears Learn about Strangers, The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food and The Berenstain Bears’ Trouble at School.

THE EAST TEXAS RV & CAMPING EXPO is the largest boat and travel expo east of I-35. More than 150 boats, 100 RV/travel trailers, and 50 ATV’s and motorcycles from East Texas are on exhibit during the three-day event.

The best collection of classic, antique and special interest cars, trucks and motorcycles in East Texas! This event benefits the East Texas Crisis Center.

The Expo provides the perfect venue for families from across Texas to have a onestop shopping experience for their outdoor recreational needs.

Best Tips to Help Your Friend’s Marriage

Typically, friends are the first ones married couples turn to for advice when their marriage is in trouble. Sometimes it can put you in the middle of their struggle, and you won’t always know how to help. Here are five great tips for handling any situation that can arise.

Just Listen – Simply giving them a listening ear makes a huge difference. It is good for your friend to vent a little and get what they need to off their chest. By talking out loud it might bring more clarity than they think. Talking it out with a friend is therapeutic, and your silence speaks volumes.

Don’t Get Involved – It’s easy to give your advice and opinions on their situation. The best advice in this case is none at all. Help your friend work through it by listening, and try not to choose sides or weigh-in on their decisions. It’s best to steer them in the right direction towards proper help, instead of trying to encourage divorce or separation.

Give and Get Them Support – You are a great support system for your friend, but you should find other resources to refer them to. One good resource is the VOW Marriage Education Initiative. VOW helps build and maintain strong marriages by offering marriage education, workshops, and endless resourceful websites.

Encourage a Solution – Instead of concentrating on what the problems are, help your friend focus on finding the right solution for them. Encourage your friend to do research to find the right program or counselor to talk with, take action, and get on the right track to a healthy marriage.

Just Be There – The best way to be supportive is to simply be there! Be available when they need you. Let them know you are there for support, and be willing to listen anytime. And in any situation where there is violence, the best advice is for their overall safety and well-being.

VOW Marriage Workshops are scheduled on most Saturdays from 8am - 5pm and costs $25 per couple. This workshop gives you the chance to mingle with other couples and strengthen your marriage at the same time.

For more information or to pre-register, call 903-232-1700 or visit wevownow.org and luvlasts.org.
