Crawford-Callaway
Mary Allison Crawford and William Benjamin Callaway were married June 1 at the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Birmingham. A reception followed at the Great Hall. The Very Rev. Kevin M. Bazzel officiated the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Blanton Crawford of Birmingham. The groom is the son of Mrs. Vickers Allen Callaway and the late Mr. Callaway of Selma.
Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a cream silk shantung and champagne French Alencon lace gown by Toronto designer Paloma Blanca. The sleeveless lace bodice was beaded with pearls and Swarovski crystals and had a bateau neckline with a low back. A ruched cummerbund encircled her waist. The full A-line skirt had a flat front and a pleated back which swept to a cathedral-length train. Completing her ensemble was a cathedral-length ivory veil of illusion.
The bride was attended by her sister, Emily Frances Crawford, as maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Kelly Anne Browne; Lauren Elizabeth Buonaiuto; Caroline Allen Callaway, sister of the groom; Sara Beth Goodman; Margaret Lyon McAllister; Jessica Lauren Maupin, and Melissa Smith Starling. Hattin Hollis Hess, cousin of the bride, was the flower girl.
Vickers Allen Callaway Jr., brother of the groom, was best man. Groomsmen were Reid Derrick Fisher, Quinton James Pugh, Chris Jackson Searcy Jr., Blake Robert South, Anderson Milton Starling, Cody Allen Warrington and William Haig Wright III.
After a honeymoon trip to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, the couple live in Atlanta.
