Emily Anne Shuford and Charles Henry Keller were married on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013 at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. The ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Robert S. Dannals and the Rev. William Joseph Ambrose Power, the bride’s grandfather. A reception hosted by the bride’s parents immediately followed at Brook Hollow Golf Club. A rehearsal dinner was hosted by the groom’s parents on the eve of the wedding at the historic Arlington Hall, where the groom’s grandmother Sharon Galer was involved in the formation of the Lee Park & Arlington Hall Conservancy, serving as its first president.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Carroll Shuford Jr. of University Park. She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Jack Merville Little and the late Mr. Jack Merville Little, Dr. and Mrs. William Joseph Ambrose Power, and Mr. William Carroll Shuford Sr. and the late Mrs. William Carroll Shuford Sr.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Alexander Keller. He is the grandson of Mrs. Robert Edward Galer and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Edward Trotter.

Presented in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride wore an elegant gown of ivory Alencon lace designed by Ines Di Santo of Stanley Korshak. The fit-to-flair silhouette featured a silk taffeta underlay and fashioned a beautiful scalloped sweetheart neckline. Covered buttons adorned the low v-back of the gown, dramatically accenting her full fluted skirt. To complete her ensemble, the bride wore her sister’s veil of sheer illusion and lace, which framed her face and cascaded beyond her chapel-length train. The wedding flowers were a combination of bright citrus colors with shades of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and orange. White lattice work was used throughout the club, invoking a Southern feel, with magnolias and fruit adorning it.

Attending the bride as maid of honor was her sister Sarah Allison Shuford and as matron of honor her sister Elizabeth Shuford Conroy, both of Dallas. The bridesmaids were Adelaide Hefley Adams, Mary Delaney Campbell, Ashley Francis Duncan, Jordan Caroline Francis, Holly Lauren Hutchinson, Anastasia Louise Lampton, Laura Lang Lunn, Victoria Pryor McGuire, Sarah Winsor Morrison, Lauren Ainsley Pond, Anna Padgett Seigel, and Katherine Clare Van Amburgh. Members of the house party were Shelley Taylor Grayson, Cameron Trammell McClain, Jordan Lane Pounds, and Megan Ruth Somerville.

Serving as the best man was the groom’s brother, Clinton Alexander Keller. The groomsmen were Harold Jeffreys Browning III, John Joseph Coffman Jr., Walter Richard Davis III, William Richard Dunlap, John Colin Grayson, Matthew Tavenner Huckin, Robert Scott Osburn, William Hunter Pond, Justin Mitchell Roberts, William Carroll Shuford III, Alexander Hayden Stein, Benjamin Laird Stocker, and Rex Bailey Womble. The ushers were Jerald Wayne Freeman II, William Holmes Gruy, Zachary Morgan Lunn, Michael Jordan Sloan, and Daniel Patrick Solomon.

She is employed as a Pilates instructor at The Pilates Barre. The groom is a 2005 graduate of Highland Park High School.
