T

t was their moment to celebrate the love that unites them as Miss Shay Pool, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Myers and Mr. and Mrs. Mack Pool wed Mr. Thomas Ditter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Ditter on October 17, 2009, in Henderson. The couple chose this day to honor Shay’s maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Green, who married 73 years ago on the date.

Guests were treated to a slideshow of the couple’s “story” prior to the ceremony and everyone rejoiced as the couple celebrated their happiness as they exited the church to “All You Need is Love” by the Beatles.

With accent jewel tones, broaches and peacock feathers, each aspect of the wedding, from theinvitations to the flowers to the cake, were all used to create a vintage kaleidoscope of colors.
