Comedian John Crist wed Emmy-nominated anchor and reporter Lydia Fielder at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in her hometown of Bentonville, AR on Saturday, October 24.
The wedding festivities kicked off Friday night with a Vintage Americana-themed rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Exhibit Hangar at Thaden Fieldhouse, featuring live entertainment from American roots group The Petersens. For the big day, Crist donned a John Varvatos tuxedo, while the bride walked down the aisle in a customized 'Minelli’ gown by Eva Lendel, paired with a custom veil by Olia Zavozina. The ceremony featured an orchestral performance by the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas, along with a special performance by the University of Arkansas Gospel Choir, paying homage to Fielder's alma mater. Set against 134 acres of Ozark landscape, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art provided a picturesque backdrop for the celebration, adorned with florals by award-winning local floral design company The Flower Slinger.
The celebration continued with live entertainment from Manhattan Orchestra, a surprise appearance by the University of Arkansas mascot and a special speech from fellow comedian Derrick Stroup. The festivities were planned by Jessika McCuin Weddings, with styling by Krista Roser.
