Wedding #2
I got to the church to discover the bride and groom will have a great wedding day story to tell their friends...turns out that the groom's ride to the church had his car towed and impounded hours before the wedding. Rings were in the luggage in the back, as was the marriage license.
Our functional rectangle of a church has never been more elaborately decorated, and everyone was pleasantly surprised at how pretty it was for the occasion.
No one was surprised at how pretty Lori was for the occasion.
No one was surprised at how low-key Jeremy was for the occasion. He's laid back anyway, but the reality that he was smack in the middle of God's will gave him even more peace than he's usually got.
The string quartet had this annoying habit of finishing every musical piece they started...not breaking off the song say, when the bride and her dad got to the end of the aisle...they just finished it for an annoying 30 more seconds. I wondered if maybe there were more people coming down the aisle I didn't know about. They also failed to stop playing at the recessional...which the wedding coordinator finally sent an usher down the aisle to tell me to just talk over them. It was a cute moment, though. One I imagine they'll laugh at for years on the wedding video.
We had to use replacement rings during the ceremony, but the real ones showed up about five minutes after the wedding.
The reception was somewhat raucous. Lots of dancing and eating and fun was had. Our church family does that well, and this was a case where many in the church had watched these two grow up so it really was the close part of the family, too. It was the first time I've ever heard "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" played in our church...and I thought it was hysterically funny.
The brother of the bride gave a great toast to his sister.
And it was an honor and a priviledge and a joy to be a part of it.
Jeremy and Lori, may the way your life together started be an indication of how much joy you have during the the whole thing.
*raises champagne flute to toast the couple, "hear, hear!"*
