Wedding Weekend


This weekend was a wedding celebration for  my son Drew and his beautiful wife Jamey.  It would be incorrect to say that they were married this weekend.  That had actually occurred earlier this summer in Carle hospital.  Jamey's father was in ICU and they wanted him present for their wedding.  15 or so of us gathered there and had one of the most moving ceremonies in which I have ever had the privilege of participating.  Sadly, he passed away the day after.

On September 24th, we gathered to celebrate their marriage.  And celebrate we did.  They planned a moving ceremony full of love and emotion.  Personal vows were written and read.  Music was played that reflected their love and commitment.  After the ceremony, we moved into a pavilion for roasted hog, potatoes, green beans, and some of the best cupcakes I have ever eaten.  There was live music, dancing, and wine.  People laughed, some cried, a lot visited and, as far as I know, a good time was had by all.  

I am very grateful for a blessed day and even more grateful for having a blessed family.  To God be the Glory.
