Kelly Suzanne Sheppard became the bride of Danny Joe Wren, Jr. at a 6 p.m.

Officiating at the double-ring ceremony was Rev. Benny Mize.

The bride is the daughter of Gayle and Jerry Sheppard of Fairfield. She is the 
granddaughter of James and Patsy Phillips of Livingston, Texas and Arthur and

The groom is the son of Sara and Joe Wren of Fairfield. He is the grandson of

Attending the bride as maid of honor was her sister, Lindsey Sheppard of

Guests were registered at the wedding by Paige Hayter of Montgomery, and usher

Given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore an ivory Magique gown. The

She carried a hand-tied bouquet of ivory and peach roses.

Her special accessories included a gold and pearl ring belonging to her great-
