Hill and Bradley T. Sandifer exchange vows April 3 Miss Amanda Catherine Hill and Mr. Bradley Thomas Sandifer were united in marriage in a private family ceremony at five o’clock in the afternoon April 3, 2010, on the beach in front of the Adventure Inn Resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina, a favorite annual vacationing place of Amanda and her family. The ceremony was officiated by Reverend Richard Smreczak. Amanda is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Adrian Hill of Lincolnton. She is the granddaughter of Mrs. James Edward Aycock and the late Mr. Aycock, and Mrs. Donald Adrian Hill and the late Mr. Hill, all of Lincolnton. Brad is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Eugene (Gene) Sandifer of Washington. He is the grandson of Ms. Audrey Granade of Martinez and the late Mr. Frank Walden Thomas, Jr., of Washington and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Calhoun Sandifer of Washington. The bride chose her sister, Miss Barbara Adrian Hill, as her maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Caylor Maria Sandifer of Washington, sister of the groom, and Miss Elizabeth Kay Aycock of Augusta, cousin of the bride. The ladies wore tea length sea blue gowns, designed by B2. The gowns featured a ruche empire waist and were designed in luxe taffeta. The girls carried stem style bouquets of hot pink mini calla lilies, hot pink mini gerbera daisies, and hypericum berries wrapped with a sea blue soft satin ribbon secured with pearl-headed pins. Pearl earrings, designed and handcrafted by the bride, were worn by the bridesmaids along with their own strand of pearls. They chose not to wear shoes during the ceremony. Brad chose his father to serve as his best man. Groomsmen were Mr. William Alexander Bradford, Jr., cousin of the groom, and Mr. Justin Ryan Rickerson, both of Lincolnton. The men walked down the beach barefoot in tan linen tuxedoes adorned with boutonnieres of white mini calla lilies accented with light green hypericum berries. The bride’s father wore identical attire. The barefoot ring bearer, Mr. Branson Allen Beggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Beggs, very special friends of the bride’s family, was handsome in his white Polo dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and tan linen pants, also rolled up. The bride was exquisite in an ivory strapless gown designed for her by Diamond Bridal. The bodice of the gown featured delicate lace that was hand beaded, and the dropped waist was accented by a champagne band of satin filled with freshwater pearls and rhinestones. The A-line skirt of the gown featured a chapel length train, adorned with satin covered buttons, that was beautifully bustled for the dinner party. Miss Hill wore a headpiece comb of rhinestone and silver encased with freshwater pearls designed for her by Erika Koesler. Her fingertip veil was designed by Adriana in ivory French tulle and was finished in a peau de soi ribbon edge. Following tradition, Miss Hill selected something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. As her “something old”, the bride chose to use the handmade ring bearer’s pillow, designed and sewn by her aunt, Ms. Sonji Kay Aycock, which was used at Amanda’s parent’s wedding. The “something new” was her wedding gown and veil. Her mother’s strand of pearls, given to her by her husband as an anniversary gift, and pearl earrings belonging to her sister, were worn as her “something borrowed”; and for “something blue”, she wore the traditional garter, made and given to her by Mrs. Sharon Kohli, to be passed along to her sister, and sea blue toenail polish. Since Amanda was barefoot, she chose to wear her two sixpences in a satin sachet pouch made on to her garter. The sixpences were gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Joe Willis and Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Chastain. Amanda’s bouquet was designed in memory and honor of loved ones who could not be with the couple on their special day. The stem style bouquet was made of five creamy white large headed calla lilies. The stems were French braided with an ivory sheer soft satin ribbon made from the cuttings of her wedding gown finished with pearl-headed pins. The lilies represented Mr. James E. Aycock and Mr. Donald A. Interpreted sermons Hill, the bride’s deceased grandfathers, Mr. Frank W. Thomas, Jr., the groom’s deceased grandfather, Miss Ida Ware Scott, the couple’s deceased friend and fiancé of groomsman, Mr. Justin R. Rickerson, and Mrs. James E. Aycock, the bride’s maternal grandmother who was unable to attend due to Alzheimer’s disease. A small, whitewashed, wooden wheelbarrow was placed right after the bridge to provide a place for the guests to leave their shoes. Mr. CJ Aycock and Mr. Andy Ray Wengrow, cousins of the bride, provided wedding programs to the guests as they greeted them. Two large, loose, airy, free flowing arrangements made from curly willow branches, bells of Ireland, hypericum berries, decorative palm leaves, pittisporum, and other types of greenery in natural colored decorative urns, were placed on either side of the alter. The natural beauty of the ocean provided a breath-taking backdrop. Guests enjoyed music provided by a violinist while being seated. The wedding processional began with the seating of the grandparents. The mothers were seated while Mr. Larmarrio Harden, classmate of the bride, sang How Beautiful a cappella. The groom’s paternal grandmother, Mrs. Henry C. Sandifer, escorted by her son, Mr. Gene Sandifer, chose a black crepe skirt ensemble featuring a floral print and 3/4 length coordinating top. His maternal grandmother, Ms. Audrey Granade, escorted by her grandson, Mr. Alex Bradford, wore a brown, black, and ivory asymmetrical, tea-length, off the shoulder chiffon dress that featured a dropped waistline, flared bottom, and flutter sleeves. The bride’s paternal grandmother, Mrs. Donald A. Hill, escorted by her son, Mr. Marcus A. Hill, wore a threepiece shantung set in honeydew featuring a long-sleeve jacket with ruche mandarin collar and two pockets over a side-zip camisole with ruche scoop neck, and a back-zip skirt. The bride’s father also escorted Mrs. Charles W. Chastain, the bride’s aunt, who was standing in for her maternal grandmother. Mrs. Chastain’s ensemble consisted of a two-piece set in rose featuring a threequarter sleeve bolero jacket over a sleeveless back-zip dress with laser-cut skirt. The groom’s mother was escorted by her husband. She was lovely in a two-piece Jessica Howard set in dark purple. It consisted of a three-quarter-sleeve bolero jacket with split cuffs over a spaghetti-strap back-zip dress with a tiered skirt. The bride’s father escorted his wife, the mother of the bride. She was charming in a two-piece set by JS Collections. The navy blue set featured a spaghetti-strap sheath dress with ruffled stripes in a sequined accent pattern as well as a coordinating mesh bolero jacket. In memory of Mrs. Hill’s cousin, Mr. Russell Gibson, she wore a sapphire and diamond bracelet given to her by Russell’s mother, Mrs. Wayne Gibson, shortly after his death. The wedding party walked down the sandy aisle to the sounds of Canon in D by Pachelbel. The traditional Bridal Chorus by Wagner was played as the bride, escorted by her father, strolled across the wooden bridge to the sand where her future husband awaited. Between the repeating of the vows and the exchanging of the wedding rings, Mr. Harden sang Better Today a cappella. After being pronounced husband and wife, the bride and groom were followed by the attendants as the violinist played Trumpet Voluntary by Clark. The Dinner Following the ceremony, the couple’s parents hosted a buffet dinner on the deck at Windows on the Waterway in Hilton Head Plantation. Guests’ tables were draped with white tablecloths and sandalwood colored overlays. Pedestal vases filled with green hydrangeas and hot pink mini calla lilies were chosen for the centerpieces. Amanda chose to use her bouquet to adorn the sweetheart table. After being introduced, Mr. and Mrs. Sandifer danced their first dance to Lost in This Moment. The bride chose Daddy’s Angels for the father/daughter dance and The Perfect Fan for the mother/son dance. Music was provided by Mr. Grant Cartledge, a childhood friend of the bride and long time friend of the couple. The three tier wedding cake consisted of two round cake layers and one square layer covered with butter cream icing and topped MR. AND MRS. BRADLEY THOMAS SANDIFER with an elegant fondant bow. Baby’s breath adorned the base of the cake. Approximately 70 family members and very close friends attended the wedding ceremony and dinner. The couple left the dinner amidst an atmosphere filled with bubbles. They spent their honeymoon night at The Westin on Hilton Head Island. The Reception/Dance Upon their return from their honeymoon trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, a reception/dance was held in their honor by their parents at the Fitzpatrick Hotel April 9, 2010, in Washington, Georgia. The evening began upstairs where guests signed a framed engagement picture of the couple before entering the ballroom to offer congratulations and best wishes to Brad and Amanda. Special family friends, Mrs. Don Cartledge, Mrs. Glen Hardeman, and Mrs. Andy Wengrow designed the decorations and catered the event as a gift to the couple. Other family members and friends helped. Amanda chose this setting to display her wedding portrait, a gift from her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chastain, and also to display a picture of her in her wedding gown with her dog, Pearl. A DVD of the wedding ceremony and a slideshow of the bride and groom, reminiscent of their childhood and teenage years, were shown throughout the evening. Later in the evening on the downstairs patio, dance music was provided by DJ Hall of Famer, Mr. Norman Mills and his wife, Dionne, friends of the bride’s family. Brad and Amanda are making their home in Lincolnton, Georgia. Events leading to the Wedding To prevent Brad and Amanda from having a Charlie Brown Christmas tree their first year as a married couple, Amanda was honored with a drop-in “Trim the Tree” shower December 13, 2009, at First Assembly of God. Approximately 70 guests attended. The hostesses for the occasion, Kimberly Beggs, Nicole P. Crook, and Barbara Hill, presented Amanda with a gift card to use to buy their first Christmas tree. On February 27, 2010, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Moore opened their spectacular plantation style home in Washington, Georgia, to over 60 friends to honor Brad and Amanda with a money tree shower. Guests used goldhand painted clothespins to secure cards to a decorative tree, a gift from the hosts and hostesses. Others hosting with Mr. and Mrs. Moore were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bradford, Mr. and Mrs. Barry Holloway, and Mr. and Mrs. Roger McAvoy. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Goldman was the setting for a “Room-toRoom” shower March 13, 2010. Guests enjoyed watching Brad and Amanda open gifts to use in different rooms in their home. It was amusing to see the attire the hosts had them wear while opening their gifts. Over 70 guests enjoyed the evening’s events which ended with dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bradford and Mr. and Mrs. Andy Wengrow helped host the occasion. Approximately 40 faculty members attended a miscellaneous shower on Monday, March 15, 2010, in the cafeteria at Washington Wilkes Primary School.

Amanda’s co-workers, the third grade teachers, hosted the event. A lingerie shower, given by four of the bride’s longtime friends, was held Saturday, March 20, at the home of Mrs. Chris Dunsmore. Miss Carrie Burton wrote a booklet entitled Over the Hill to Sanderfordville about Amanda’s life. For each major event, her mother, Mrs. Mill Hamrick, crafted an ornament depicting the event which Amanda wore on a sash during the evening, along with a veil that was signed by the guests. Following the shower, Amanda was treated to dinner at Bonefish Grill in Augusta. The bachelorette party ended with a night of dancing.
