Eugenia Ann Mathews and Scott Daniel Coleman were united in marriage at half past six o'clock in the evening on Saturday, July 19, 2008. The double ring ceremony was performed by Dr. William Perry at the First Baptist Church in Statesboro.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Bland Mathews of Statesboro. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Daniel Coleman III of Blakely, Ga.
Music was provided by Mrs. Sheila McKee, organist and pianist; Dr. William Schmid, trumpet; and Jessica Forbes, soloist.
The bride, given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, wore a strapless A-line gown made of exquisite French Alencon lace and featured three unique tiered patterns. A belt above the natural waist had a delicate array of crystals, pearls and netting. The back neckline dipped into a V, accented with covered buttons that flowed into a chapel-length train. The veil was cathedral-length with a traditional blusher, which was hand-crafted with matching French Alencon lace. The bride carried a hand-tied bouquet of mini calla lilies, Queen Anne's lace, white lilies and vendella roses.
The bridesmaid's dresses were floor-length black satin-faced taffeta gowns featuring a pleated neckline with a wide sash at the natural waist, falling into an A-line skirt. The bridesmaids carried hand-tied bouquets of white vendella roses, white French tulips and Queen Anne's lace. The flower girl carried a kissing ball of white hydrangea blooms.
