Observe how Christ loved us.

His love was not cautious but extravagant.

Reception

 The reception was on the second floor.

 People came inside quickly because of the heavy rain.

 The Room

 The Cake

Decorations

 Every person received a small box of mints.

Name cards led us to our tables.

It’s easy to tell that this bride and groom like motorcycles – preferably Harley’s – by the table names.

 They’re Here!

Celebrate God all day, every day.

I mean, revel in him!

Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side,

working with them and not against them.

Part 4

Almost Ready

From the look of things, everyone is ready for the ceremony.

The girls have taken care of every detail.

Jewelry

Hair

Wedding Dress

Flowers

I saw the bride hide something in her bouquet and thought you would like to see it too.

Lip gloss!

 Oops!  The flower girl stumbled and landed right on the bride’s gown…

..and decided to stay there.

There was, however, one unattended detail, and Leslie (wife of Crystal’s brother Bryan) came to the church right on time to attach corsages and boutonnières.  (I love the flower in her hair.)

 The ushers are ready for guests.

 Big brother Ted stopped by the girl’s room to give Crystal a hug…

…then went to the sanctuary to begin seating early guests.

Crystal and Mom enjoyed a silly moment.

Dad came to walk her up the aisle.

Jakey is anxious to see his pretty bride.

Crystal is ready to see her handsome groom.

 The next time we see these, Jakey and Crystal will be husband and wife.
