The groom is the son of Maurice and Melissa Horton of Lancaster and the grandson of the late Mathias and Virginia Weber and the late Maurice “Pete” Horton and Elizabeth Horton of Henderson, N.Y.

Before the 2 p.m. double ring ceremony at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption in Marietta, Hannah and Meg Schott, cousins of the bride, registered guests and Lauren Hovland, cousin of the groom, provided guests with programs. Monsignor J. Michael Campbell was the celebrant while John Ontko served as organist, providing music before and during the ceremony. Sarah Rauch served as cantor. Sandy Hovland, aunt of the groom, and Taylor Bailey, cousin of the bride, read scripture readings and Adam Schwendeman, brother-in-law of the bride, read prayer petitions. Following the ceremony, cousins of the bride, Brody Griffin and Jaxon Schott passed out bubbles to guests.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore an ivory patterned lace sheath gown with an illusion laced back, illusion sweetheart neckline, and cap sleeves. Accenting the gown was an ivory scallop-edged veil with a beaded and crystal motif. She carried a nosegay bouquet of ivory peonies and light pink garden roses. The stems of the bouquet were entwined with a crystal beaded rosary belonging to Emily’s late great-grandmother, Marie Lang. Serving as matron honor was Abbey Schwendeman, sister of the bride, who wore a navy slim-fitted lace dress with sequin accents. She carried a large bouquet of fresh baby’s breath. Bridesmaids included Maria Horton, sister of the groom, and Maggie and Sidney Lawlor, friends of the bride. They wore identical navy laced dresses with illusion necklines and cap sleeves. Each carried a bouquet identical to the matron of honor.
