Stephanie Diane McClellan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley D. McClellan Jr., of Warren, became the bride of Toby William Larson, son of Mrs. Sandra L. Larson and the late Newell W. Larson of Youngsville in a lovely double ring ceremony performed at 3 p.m., July 31, 2010, at the Red Brick Gardens, Mayville, N.Y., with Mrs. Barbara Brown officiating.
The bride, given in marriage by her father, made her way through the grass. The gardens lush with floral artistry and the aisle lined with purple gerbera daisies and petals illuminated the ambiance of the ceremony, and Pachelbel's "canon in D" played in the background. She chose a designer Maggie Sottero diamond white over light gold strapless, corset gown with lace over satin and a sweep train, embellished with beading, sequins and pearls. She wore a single layer sheer veil fastened through her princess locks, embellished with pearls. She was adorned with her grandmother's pearl necklace and carried a bouquet of pink, orange, white and purple gerbera daisies.
"Greensleves" by Williams, accompanied the bridesmaids as they made their way down the aisle. Mrs. Kellie Goldthwaite, bride's sister, was matron of honor; Miss Amy McClellan, bride's sister, was maid of honor; Mrs. Miranda Walters, friend of the bride and groom, and Miss Jacquline McClellan, cousin of the bride, were the attendants. All attendants wore an Alfred Angelo strapless sweetheart neckline, tea length, eggplant purple gown with cream trim to match the bride's gown, and carried hand picked bouquets of large purple gerbera daisies. Miss Becca Lindvay, bride's cousin, wore a beautiful matching cream color gown embellished with beading and pearls and daisy cutouts on the back. The string trio (Classic Concepts) played many classical pieces throughout the ceremony.
