Their story is that of a classic, college love story. Elizabeth Peake and Jay Scarborough met during Christmas break of their freshman year and instantly felt a connection. They began dating that January, and three years later to the day, Jay asked Elizabeth to become his wife in the same place where they first met. Elizabeth Kathryn Peake and Jay Steven Scarborough were united in marriage on a beautiful summer evening, Saturday, June 29, 2013, at 5 o’clock at Spring Hill Avenue United Methodist Church. Dr. Drew Jefferson Gunnells Jr. officiated the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lyles Brewer Tuttle Jr. and the late Gerald Alton Peake Jr. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fay Pierce and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Alton Peake, all of Mobile. The groom is the son of Mrs. Donna Linton Wright, of Grand Bay, and the late Mr. Charles Edgar Scarborough Jr., of Creola. His grandparents are Mrs. John Lee Linton and the late Mr. John Lee Linton, the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edgar Scarborough, all of Grand Bay.
Given in marriage by her stepfather, the bride wore an ivory lace, bateau neck gown with a corseted under bodice with a soft A-line skirt. The back of the dress featured lace covered buttons at the center and a sweep train. The waist was accented with a double-faced satin ribbon and a lace floral accent. She chose coral as her wedding color, along with ivory roses, white hydrangeas, white peonies, white orchids and mini calla lilies as her florals.
