The big day had arrived! All of us were very concerned when the day before the wedding began with clouds and rain. It was rainy and chilly the whole day. We prayed for good weather as the reception was going to be outside. It could be squeezed in to the fellowship hall, but outside would be so much nicer. The Lord blessed us with bright sunshine, cooler temperatures and ideal weather. It could not have been nicer. All of us scurried around doing last minute errands, and the special moment finally arrived. I felt quite emotional during this wedding – my baby getting married. It was a beautiful ceremony with an unusual variety of music: beautiful trumpet/piano duet by Christine's grandparents; a really neat Peter, Paul and Mary song by Joel and Bekah; a beautiful rendition of "Ruth's Song" by Christine, her mom, Vickie and sister, Rebekah. Jack, our 2 ½ year old grandson, was the ring bearer. He got a little restless and dropped his ring pillow a couple of times, but did very well, all things considered. The wedding had many nice personal touches. The outside reception was so enjoyable with many delicious finger foods, pastas and desserts. It seemed like no one wanted to leave. The newly weds had a hard time slipping away as there were so many people to see. We praise the Lord for another landmark event in our family. God has blessed us so much. The hardest part was knowing we would all be going separate ways, some far away from all the rest!
