EmilyandTannerRichards.JPGChristian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman’s eldest daughter Emily wed Tanner Richards on October 4th in a private ceremony at the Chapman home in Franklin, TN.
Emily’s brother Caleb Chapman performed Chapman’s hit song, “Cinderella,” while father and daughter dances. Steven also composed special music for the ceremony, including the music that played as Emily and her bridesmaids walked down the aisle.
It must have been a bittersweet event for the family, who suffered a tragic loss in May when youngest adopted daugher Maria was killed in an accident in the family driveway. Maria had been excited about the wedding, and was buried in her bridesmaid’s dress.
