Sarah Tate Weatherford and Vernon Bernis Johnson III were united in marriage at Morris Farm in Stockton, Alabama, on October 12, 2019. The couple was married by Jim Parmer, uncle of the bride.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Cole Weatherford Sr. of Bay Minette, Alabama. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Bernis Johnson Jr. of Ozark, Alabama.

The bride was given in marriage by her parents and escorted down the aisle by her father. She wore an ivory gown adorned with lace and pearls by Essence of Australia.

The best friend of the bride, Tucker Boatwright, served as a bridesman. Flower girl and ring bearer were Lucy and Gavin Bertolla.

Following the ceremony, the couple and guests walked a decorated path to dance and eat under the old oaks. Guests were also welcomed into the home, which belongs to the bride’s grandparents. Inside was a display of wedding dresses that were worn by the bride’s grandmother and mother on their wedding days. The atmosphere was almost ethereal. Decades of love and unity could be felt in the air.

The couple made their departure under a canopy of oaks and sparkle lit skies with family and friends giving a warm send off. The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in Jamaica. They reside in Foley.
