Brandi Cheyenne Barnes and Jason Dustin Gann were united in marriage in a ceremony held at Central church of Christ on June 29.
The bride is the daughter of Allen and Venus Barnes, and the groom is the son of Charles and Shirley Gann. Miss Barnes is the granddaughter of Stanley and Nadean Barnes, and Herman and Peggy Higgins. Mr. Gann is the grandson of Ben and Lois Gann, and Lois and Frances Myers.
Officiated by Kerry Duke, approximately 350 guests attended in the double ring ceremony. Vocalist Terri Bryan presented the couple’s favorite song, “You’re Still the One.” Guests were greeted by attendant Rebekah Sweeton, and signed a fabric guest registry with a silver pen. A photo of the groom’s mother and father, in memory of Mrs. Gann who had helped in the wedding planning, was on display.
Pink and silver bows were placed on the church doors, and pews were also lined with pink and silver bows. An arch, covered in fresh pink and purple roses, aster mara daisies, green plumose and ivy, formed a lovely centerpiece for the stage.
An ivory unity candle with plumose garland contained a copy of the wedding invitation, and was surrounded by pearls and two candlesticks. Two candelabras draped with plumose garland stood at each side of the arch, with more garland draping the banisters on either side of the stage. Decorative vases holding pink and white gladiolas, roses and green bells of Ireland were on each side of the stage.
The front of the stage was completely and lusciously lined with pink and purple roses, aster mara, lavender daisies, lovely mixed greens and green trailing ivy.
The bride was escorted by her father wearing an ivory lace fit and flare gown with a lace overlay and beading detail on the bodice. It featured short beaded sleeves and a lace-up corset back. The lace adorned skirt cascaded into a flowing train. The bride’s elbow-length veil was adorned with a beaded edge, and held in place with a pearl hair clip. She wore silver open-toed dress pumps with rhinestone accents at the toe. Her ivory pearl drop earrings were a gift from bridesmaid Dana Ross. She also wore a pearl necklace given to her by her mother.
She carried a bouquet of fresh pink, purple and cream roses displayed in her mother’s wedding bouquet holder.
Kristi Bost served her new sister-in-law as matron of honor. Bridesmaids included Katie Bost, Kayla Higgins, Dana Ross, Rachel Vanatta, Conethia Turner and Laura Beth Robinson.
They each wore teal satin gowns with a V-neckline, pleated bodice and empire waist. They had a slim-flared skirt reaching to the floor and a sweeping train. Kristi and Katie each wore necklaces with a memorial photo of their mother and grandmother Gann. 
The attendants carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Flower girls Kristin and Karigan Bost were adorable in their ivory dresses with satin bodices and tulle skirts. Each wore baby’s breath headpieces and carried white wicker baskets filled with pink petals. They sprinkled the petals on the aisle runner marking the entrance of the bride. Each wore a gold pendant with a photo of their grandmother.
Wesley Higgins was the ring bearer, and carried a heart-shaped pillow during the ceremony. 
The groom chose his nephew, Noah Bost, to be his best man. Groomsmen were Mike Bost, Chris Hutcheson, Fairl Sparkman, Corey Gannon, Chris Templeton and Jason Smith.
Wedding ushers were Lucas Higgins, Roger Brown and  Jake Cantrell.
A reception was held honoring the couple in the church fellowship hall. Guests enjoyed taking part in video interviews offering special messages for the newlyweds, as they awaited their arrival. When the bride and groom made their appearance through a lit white lattice archway, they were met with applause from the guests.
Tables were covered with white tablecloths with white ribbon runners, topped with pink petals and crystal vases of pink roses and floating candles. White tulle draped the back of each guest’s chair and tied with a silver ribbon. Each place setting held favors prepared by the bride’s mother in the form of small tuxedo and wedding dress candy boxes of mints.
A four-tiered white wedding cake with butter almond icing featured two bridges extending from the center to six smaller satellite cakes. Figurines representing the bridal party were placed on the bridges, and a custom-made cake topper of the bride and groom was a focal point. Fresh roses were placed around the cake, with a lit water fountain under the cake.
The groom’s cake was a chocolate cake made in the shape of a Bible. It had chocolate icing for the cover, white cream icing for the pages, and maroon ribbon for the bookmark. Black icing spelled out the verse, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah.”
A custom-made, four-tiered round serving table, made by the groom’s father, held assorted fruits and vegetables, and topped with a centerpiece of fresh pink, cream and purple roses. A special treat for guests was a flowing chocolate fountain accompanied by pretzels, strawberries and marshmallows for dipping.
A memorial table in memory of the groom’s mother held photos and a poem in her honor.
As the couple made their way from the reception to an awaiting limousine, they were showered with pink rose petals. Following a honeymoon in Hawaii, they are living in McMinnville.
