It was a beautiful summer day at Heritage Plaza in Downtown Longview, where Carrie Galloway, daughter of Mabel and Norman Finch, and Bryan Gentry, son of William and Vernessa Gentry, were joined in holy matrimony. Carrie’s great-grandmother, Florence Finch, kicked off the breath-taking outdoor ceremony with a self-authored speech entitled, “It’s Not Going to be Easy, Just Listen”. Maylea Andrews, Carrie’s daughter, beamed down the aisle tossing black magic rose petals, while Jaidon Gentry, Bryan’s son, excitedly delivered the rings. Carrie wore an elegant Maggie Sottero gown embellished with beads and crystals, accented with a cathedral length veil and a crystal rose headband. The groom looked dashing as ever in a black Oscar De la Renta Trilogy tuxedo. The bouquet, by Casa Flora, was a beautiful combination of Black Magic, Freedom and Black Baccara roses, along with Peonies and Red Hypericum. Accents of crystals throughout the bouquet along with the handle wrapped in double satin ribbon and crystal studding, made it exquisite. After exchanging their vows, the Bride and Groom along with their guests, enjoyed a beautiful, elegant and fun reception at The Summit Club across the street from Heritage Plaza. Carrie and Bryan wish to extend a heart-felt thank you to their parents, whom have unconditionally loved, prayed and supported them every step of the way. Outside of their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, their parents have played the greatest role in leading and shaping them into the people they are today. Their wedding day was wonderful because of their parent’s investment in their lives.

East Texas is filled with county roads, farm to market roads, state highways, byways, city streets, and those infamous forked roads. With all of these twists and turns, it’s inevitable that local brides and grooms will fret over how to get their wedding guests to their perfect wedding and reception locations on time. Easing those worries and stresses is exactly where the idea for Get Me To The Church… came from. With 25 years in the oil and gas graphics/map making business, Randy Permenter was called upon by a customer to create a map for their daughter’s wedding that would help the out-of-town guests get to the wedding location and around Tyler with ease.
“At Get Me To The Church…, our specialty is creating custom event venue maps with city and event specific information that will be useful to your guests,” says Randy. “We draw the map, noting each of your specified locations with an address and phone number. Your map can include anything from the church, reception hall, or rehearsal dinner location, to points of interest such as hotels, restaurants, night spots, shopping, salons, golf courses, and even grandma’s house. During the busiest time for the bride, groom, and wedding party, there will be no calls from misdirected guests.” Word of mouth has been Randy’s main avenue for growing his busy wedding map-making business, which can also create custom road signs, table toppers, and even life-size photo enlargements of the couple. Wedding logos are very popular and the logo can be used to customize water bottles, cookies, koozies, and much more. These personalized items along with your custom map are perfect additions to the beautiful gift baskets also created by Randy’s wife, Benji, at Get Me To The Church... Randy also designs photo memory boards for the bride and groom that can be printed at any size.
He says, “After my first request for a custom event venue map, the word about my services spread like wild fire. That’s proof that if you do a good job for someone, they will pass the word, and that’s the best advertising you can ask for.” The wedding concept is constantly evolving, and everyone is trying to make their event unique. Get Me To The Church… has endless possibilities for wedding graphics, photo enlargements, and custom wedding souvenirs.
beautiful gift baskets
“Our business is unique because we use the bride’s and groom’s ideas and photos, and we just enhance them. I enjoy sitting down with the couple to discuss how we can make their special event even more spectacular. Best of all, our services and products are extremely cost efficient,” says Randy.
