Last Saturday, Audra Fanning married Francis Nelson in a beautiful ceremony at Annie Merner Chapel on the campus of MacMurray College with a fun reception at the Jacksonville Country Club. Her brother, Wade, served as her “Man-of-Honor.” He told the guests during his speech that night that she had “warned” him for years that he was going to take the place of a maid-of-honor at her wedding someday. He didn’t believe her. But, they are the closest of siblings and she made good on her promise. Wade took her bouquet during the ceremony (placing it on the organ, not holding it throughout the ceremony), arranged her train when needed and gave a wonderfully sentimental toast only a brother can. I’m sure he fulfilled many “person-of-honor” duties prior to the wedding as well. Here are a few photos of Wade willingly fulfilling his role of the day.
