Catherine Annette Rowe and Thomas Andrew Swindle held a blessing and celebration of marriage on Saturday, August 22, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Opelika. Due to COVID, the couple married on their original date May 9, 2020, in a private ceremony, but elected to have their celebration with their family and friends at the earliest date possible. The double ring ceremony was officiated by Dr. Jeff Meyers and Rev. Guy Anderson.
The bride is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Barry Rowe of Clanton.
