Mary Chapman Nabors married Zachary May on April 22, 2023, at Church in the Pines on Lake Martin three years after mutual friends introduced the couple. The granddaughter of Alexander City’s late mayor, Jim Nabors, the bride grew up visiting the lake and couldn’t think of anywhere else she would rather tie the knot.

“I was born in Alexander City, but I don’t remember living there. My parents moved to Birmingham when I was still little, but my heart is at the lake. It’s my favorite place to be,” said the new Mrs. May.
