The Wedding!


This weekend we hosted a wedding for our good friends Ben and Clair at our home. It was such a great weekend of worship and thankfulness from not only Ben and Clair, but their family and friends too. We are so excited for them to begin their marriage and are so glad that we got to be part of the celebration.

We had lots of fun decorating and planning the ceremony. Everything looked beautiful and natural. A great friend from church decorated the entrance to our driveway. The driveway was lined with mason jars that had candles in them and raffia tied at the top. Underneath the patio we had sheers draped to create an entrance area where guests signed the guest book and then were seated by the groomsmen. Everything looked so festive that I'm hesitant to take down the decorations.
Clair has been babysitting for us for months and our children love her. Catherine stayed here for the wedding and was so excited about being with Clair and the bridesmaids all day.

The wedding ceremony was wonderful--worshipful, encouraging, personal--all as the sun set in the trees behind them.
The wedding party
We love celebrating marriage and are so glad this worked out for us to host their wedding. (I don't think this will be a common occurrence, however.) Congratulations Ben and Clair!!
