White Bible Ceremony

I do believe this has become a 'New South' tradition.  A group of women (or people, New South, remember) come together to present a bride (and groom) with a white bible (and some special verses.)  Flowers also play a role as each person also presents a flower to the couple.  The flowers come together to make a unique bouquet. 

Our lovely bouquet

 I will list the person, verse address, flower, and meaning of the flower.  Hold on to your laptop! pictures at the end
