Wedding Pictures - The Ceremony

 Pictures were taken, lunch eaten, every hair was sufficiently hairsprayed, the guests seated...it was finally time. The wedding ceremony was lovely and worshipful. Our pastor did a wonderful joy of of keeping it respectful and giving a clear gospel presentation for those present and those that joined us on the livestream. It was a glorious testimony.  

The groomsman and ushers pray over Stephen before the ceremony.

Wedding Pictures - The Wedding Morning

In all honesty, the early part of wedding morning was a little on the chaotic side. =) Our church is 45 minutes from our home, so we had a bit of a drive and the pressure on making sure we didn't leave anything behind, added to the intensity. I was so thankful for the many girls who played such in vital role in helping make the morning go smoother and adding their encouragement and support. In all reality, the later part of the morning went more smoothly and again, so much of that was to the credit of many of our dear friends who gave of themselves so freely to help our family.
