EXPRESS
Gabby & Brandon Jones
Sept. 28, 2019
On a late fall afternoon, with the warm sun just
peeking through the beautiful fall-tinged leaves
surrounding The Old Barn at Brown County, Gabrielle
Boone of Floyds Knobs married Brandon Jones of
Columbus, Indiana.
The venue gave the couple everything they
wanted for their rustic vintage theme. Two large,
beautifully appointed cabins flank the barn, and
these were rented by the couple to accommodate
their wedding party.
As the leaves rustled, Gabby descended the
wrap-around wooden deck of the bride’s cabin.
Designed by Mori Lee, Gabby’s gown provided the
chic, eloquent silhouette she had always dreamed
of. Ivory in color, with a plunging neckline and open
low back, the gown flowed with tiers of alternating

striped offray sheer and solid patterned satin.
Gabby’s shoes were Kate Spade rose-colored velvet
and pearl-studded sandals.
Always wanting an outdoor wedding, the groom
was handsomely appointed in a charcoal Bonobos
suit and Bruno Magli wing-tipped shoes. Brandon
waited, and perhaps shed a few tears, while Gabby
made her way across the beautiful, leaf-covered path
and down the aisle trimmed with white pumpkins to
the small congregation seated on wooden benches.
The beautiful porch-like setting was the perfect
location for the exchange of vows.
Following the vows, guests enjoyed a beautiful
reception decorated with crystal vases, candles,
peonies and baby’s breath. In addition to the
customary wedding cake, macaroons, the bride’s
favorite, were served.
Always looking to surprise and treat their guests,
the couple chose a breakfast buffet for their reception
meal. Piping hot biscuits and gravy, frittatas and
bacon were just a few of the offerings with cocktail
hour miniature waffles complete with individual
syrup pipettes.
Gabby is a 2014 graduate of Floyd Central
High School with a degree in fashion marketing,
merchandising and retail management from the Art
Institute of Indianapolis. Brandon graduated from
Columbus East High School and holds a degree in
mechanical engineering from Purdue University.
The couple will reside in Columbus, Indiana.
