First, after the guests had been seated by the Revolutionary War ushers, and Davis's mother was seated, Miriam's mother was escorted down the aisle by Will, her grandson (Miriam's sister's son. Will waved shyly, but walked bravely. We hear he'd been practicing for the big event for awhile.

Bridesmaid Kristi walked down the aisle next. You can see the Revolutionary War soldiers lining the path back to the fort off to the left.

Bridesmaid Lauren and then the honor attendant Sara walked down the aisle next.

Here you see the minister--Miriam's sister--standing off to the left, holding her stole in the wind, as Davis, his father, his brother Turner, and his mother all watch Miriam walk toward them.

Miriam looked lovely. Her gown and flowers, her veil, her hair, her make-up, and most importantly, her smile all combined to make her the perfect bride. Yes, the wind played a few games with her long veil, but a bride who's laughing happily as she walks to her wedding is really the best possible kind.

"Your daughter, sir," the Revolutionary soldier said, as he handed Miriam over to her father at the end of the aisle.

After another brief mishap with the veil, Miriam and her father walked down the aisle together.

The father and daughter kissed, as Davis looked on.

Miriam's sister managed to be both moving and funny in her ceremony. Miriam was alternately laughing and welling up with tears (happy ones, we're sure) during the ceremony. Here you see her putting the ring on Davis's finger.

At the end of the ceremony, Miriam and Davis stole a quick moment alone together near the entrance to the fort, while Miriam's sister and nephew Will trotted over.
