A Lifelong Match
A Lifelong Match
Court 11 of the John Drew Smith Tennis Center in Macon, Ga., served as the venue for a doubles pairing when avid recreational players Tara Wasson and Rich Taylor of the nearby town of Warner Robins tied the knot on June 21. The ceremony was performed by Warner Robins Tennis Director Kerry Bacon, who taught Wasson to play tennis. The couple had been legally married on June 5, but they wanted a “tennis wedding” for all their tennis friends, so they rented the JDS facility for the evening wedding, providing a buffet dinner with Gatorade drinks. The bride wore an Adidas outfit she purchased from the pro shop at the JDS Tennis Center; the groom wore Nike. The bridesmaids all wore skirts designed for the event by Marion Wharton, owner of Sassy Gal Tennis Skirts (email sassygal@cox.net) of Macon. The 50 guests, who viewed the ceremony from the stadium seats, also received Wilson tennis balls and participated in tennis matches afterward. (Photos by Robin Bateman.)
