Reuben & Judi’s Wedding Day

Saturday, February 20

Early Morning

 

 

Reuben came to Bob and Doris’ to join Judi for breakfast. The formal photos were set for 8:30 a.m. at the church.

 

 

At the church

Japheth (left) the wedding photographer and oldest brother of the bride, showed us the quilt he and Aimee made for Reuben and Judi. Japheth sells sewing machines and teaches machine quilting. Others in the photo: Gary and Joy (groom’s parents) and Cerwin’s mother.

 

 

I asked Duane and Elizabeth to pose for a photo before they got too involved in preparing the wedding meal.

Reuben and Judi asked me to take the candid shots – which gave me the “right” to take lots of photos.

The unity candle was painted by one of Reuben’s friends.
