You don't know what it meant to us that you were there. You were there in every sense of the word - physically, emotionally, spiritually, you were fully present, and have been since this adventure with Sarah and her Jonathan began.
To look around that church at 190+ faces (many of those from our parent church, Trinity Chapel, where Jonathan was raised from the time he was young) was a joy beyond telling for us. To know that they would be fully fed and entertained at the reception (such dancing!) was a stunning blessing.
My Stunning Daughter-Bride, and her handsome father, almost 200 guests looking on...
Dear family and pastor-friends, gathered in prayer

First dance as man and wife
See the bride's footwear? She wore them for the ceremony, too. That's my girl. See the other boots? That is the maid of honor, the bride's twin sister Hannah. The bridesmaids wore strapless, knee length beaded gowns with western boots. It was adorable.
The princess waves goodbye as she and the groom drive away in the groom's "noble steed". Festooned with caution tape. Ahem.
many thanks to the sweet Liz Overton for her pictures...

Such a happy day! :-) Still savoring the sweetness.... Love you Dearest!
Love you, dearest! I, too, am still lingering long...every time I think about yesterday, I remember something new and totally delightful. (Our "Butch" Sprain - the electrician - "bustin' moves"!! His sweet and proper wife, Anna, doing the SAME!)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I am so sweetly broken...so gratefully exhausted, I can barely see to type.
thank YOU, Dearest, for pulling the whole darn reception together - you and your ever-faithful assistant Angela. Ya'll could hire yourselves out for this, and charge ANY price - your services are that detailed and perfect....and most importantly, caring and loving towards the bride and her family. You two should seriously consider a second career as wedding organizers.
(And Amy Atchley can now begin charging big bucks for her services as a wedding coordinator...she has our two weddings under her belt now, and she absolutely took charge and MADE the ceremony happen perfectly.)
Love you!
What a lovely bride! Congratulations!
