Laura Ann Harbarger and Breck Taylor Richardson were united in marriage on May 23, 2009 at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson.
Officiating the ceremony were Rev. Dr. Ligon Duncan III and Rev. Walter Eugene Richardson.

Nuptial music was presented by Connie Wadsworth, organist, and the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra String Quartet. The vocalist for the ceremony was Christopher John Cauthen.
Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a designer gown of duchess silk satin, fashioned with a strapless sweetheart neckline and an asymmetrically draped bodice. Covered buttons closed the back of the gown, and the flared A-line skirt swept into a chapel train.
She wore a single-tiered, fingertip length veil, edged in Alencon lace, that had been worn by her mother. She carried an English-style, hand-tied bouquet of white roses, hydrangea and white orchids.

Groomsmen were Kevin Williams Abel, Brian Madison Carr, Claude Franklin Harbarger, David Adams Harbarger, Jordan Denson Kemp, Daniel Cade Montague, Bryan Weeks Nelms, Matthew Allen Sample and Benjamin Lee Simpson.
