Holcomb Conley.

Elisabeth Dawn Holcomb, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert William Holcomb, formerly of Brandon, became the bride of Mark Villars Conley of Atlanta, Georgia, at six o'clock in the evening on April 22, 2006, at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia.

The bride is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jett Joseph Turner of Jackson and the late Mr. and Mrs. James Linton Holcomb of Tate, Georgia.

The groom is the son of Mr. John Whitford Conley of Savannah, Georgia, and the late Mary Rose Villars Conley. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Conley of Brockton, Massachusetts, and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Villars of Red Bank, New Jersey.

The celebration and blessing of the marriage was officiated by Rev. Bryant Wright. Nuptial music was provided by Rebekkah Cottingham, organist; Ron Sennett, soloist; and Lloyd Turner, trumpeter.

Escorted by her father, the bride wore a designer gown of ivory satin. The strapless bodice was embellished with Swarovski crystals and beading. The dropped waist fell into an A-line skirt which cascaded into a cathedral-length train bordered in crystals and beading. Her fingertip veil of illusion fell from a tiara of sparkling crystals. She wore an antique diamond lavalier given to her by her maternal grandmother. She carried a bouquet of ivory Vendela and pale pink roses wrapped with an heirloom handkerchief also belonging to her grandmother.

Suzanne Lane served as the maid of honor. Bridesmaids included Colleen Bailey, Kristi Cerice, Elizabeth Goss, and Anne McCann. Each attendant wore a strapless floor length gown of cranberry duchess satin and carried a bouquet of Gypsy Curiosa roses and hydrangeas with hand-tied satin ribbons.

John Conley Jr., brother of the groom, served as the best man. Groomsmen were Randal Beckley, Kevin Burns, Christopher Conley, and Matthew Conley, brothers of the groom. Jack Pehler served as ring bearer.

Helen and Rose Turner and Katherine Warren, cousins of the bride, served as program attendants and greeters.

A reception was held at Primrose Cottage, an historic antebellum home in Roswell, Georgia. Guests were served hors d'oeuvres in the formal rooms of the home before the buffet dinner. The guests then enjoyed an evening of dancing in the ballroom and on the terrace. The couple departed in a shower of bubbles at midnight in an antique white Rolls-Royce.

After a honeymoon to St. Lucia, the couple resides in Roswell, Georgia, where the bride is an accounting manager with McKesson Corporation and the groom is a regional vice president with Merritt Hawkins and Associates.
