Ceremony
Meredith and Timothy were married by the Rev. Robert Miller in a traditional Catholic ceremony held at St. Gregory Parish (2 W. Beaver St., Zelienople; 724/452-7245, stgregzelie.org). As is the custom, the bride was given away by her proud father, who offered her a Pez from a Cinderella-shaped dispenser before escorting her down the aisle.
Flowers
The bride carried a gorgeous spring-mix bouquet of white mini calla lilies and cream vendela roses with stems of lavender lilacs and soft peach spray roses; it was wrapped in cream satin with a pearl-accented handle. The creator, Denise Kinnaman of Dee’s Florals (140 Klir Road, Pittsburgh; 412/821-4027, deesflorals.com), supplied similar hand-tied bouquets wrapped in lavender satin for the bridesmaids, a basket of multicolored rose petals for the flower girl and coordinated boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen and ring bearer.

Box 2049, Warrendale; 724/935-4550, thecamelotbanquethall.com) and signaled the arrival of the happy couple with a Terrible Towel wave. The tables were decorated with scattered rose petals and candle-accented floral arrangements in hurricane vases, and the buffet-style dinner included rigatoni and roast beef.
