Bacon McCully.

Lesli Lauren Bacon and Eric Adams McCully were united in marriage on May 27, 2006, at three o'clock in the afternoon at First Baptist Church in Houston. Rev. Dan Robertson performed the double-ring ceremony.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Anthony Bacon of Houston. She is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred Eugene Chailland and Mrs. William Armon Bacon Sr. and the late Mr. Bacon of Aberdeen.

Parents of the groom are Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wayne Mc Cully of Eupora. He is the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Horace Biddle Adams of Ackerman and Mrs. William Wayne McCully and the late Mr. McCully of Louisville.

Music for the ceremony and the reception was presented by The String Quartet of the South. Vocalists were Steve and Becky Carver. A special recording of "Remember Me," sung as a duet by the bride and groom, was played in memory of their late grandparents. Escorted by her father and given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore an Italian satin gown featuring a crescent neckline with a fitted bodice and sheer cap sleeves, both embellished with silver hand-beaded embroidery. Covered buttons extended down the back of the princess skirt that fell into a chapel-length train. Her two-tiered cathedral-length veil of silk-corded illusion complemented her dress.

The bride's bouquet of white Virginia roses accented with olive leaves was hand-tied with French sheer ribbon; a monogrammed handkerchief with the bride's new initials and the couple's wedding date was secured to the bouquet by an antique pin belonging to the bride's late maternal grandmother.

Attending the bride as matron of honor was her sister, Elisha Bacon Benton. Bridesmaids were Lana Aguzzi, Lana Lancaster, Blair Norman, Sarah Post, and Ashley Watts. The attendants wore black formal-length chiffon gowns, and each carried a hand-tied bouquet of white roses. Honorary bridesmaids were Amanda Brooks, Jamie Cruse, Amy Dotson, and Stephanie Holmes.

Michael Wayne McCully served his son as best man. Groomsmen were Glenn Dedeaux, Ryan England, Kris Findley, John Genin, and Tige Hopper. Ushers were Chris Benton, Barrett Bowerman, Chip Hoover, and Richard Russo.

Following the ceremony, the bride's parents hosted a reception in the church's fellowship hall. The church and the fellowship hall were decorated by Mrs. Benny (Tammy) Wells, a friend of both the bride's and groom's families.

On the eve of the wedding, the groom's parents honored the couple with a seated rehearsal dinner at the historic Hotel Chester in Starkville.

After honeymooning in St. John, U.S.V.I., they are at home in Memphis, Tennessee, where the bride is a speech pathologist with Aegis Therapies and the groom is a real estate manager with AutoZone, Inc.
