More Wedding Pics

We had quite a few people attend the wedding, a little over 400!This included approximately
  75 of our amish neighbors.   Notice the row of the amish mens black hats.
 
Linda and Kathryn (sisters) some of our closest amish friends handed out the programs. 

The ushers Matthew and Stephen from Indiana and Joshua did an excellent job seating our guests.
 
Special thanks to Sis. Linda for letting us borrow the ferns.  Special thanks to Jennifer for her decorating touch.
 
Joanna (Kaitlyn's cousin) did a lovely job  playing the violin accompanying Melissa (Daddy's cousin's wife) on the piano
 
Daddy's cousin Daniel has an amazing voice.  He sang "You Are My All In All" as the families entered.  He also sang "As For Me And My House" when the bridal party exited.

Uncle Jon gave an exhortation.  It was so nice I would like to have him do one at my wedding.
 


These awesome balcony shots are thanks to Katrina!
 







When Uncle Jon sat down, Grandpa came up and the congregation sang:

THINK ABOUT HIS LOVE, THINK ABOUT HIS GOODNESS
THINK ABOUT HIS LOVE THAT'S BROUGHT US THROUGH
IT'S AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS ABOVE
SO GREAT IS THE MEASURE OF OUR FATHER'S LOVE
GREAT IS THE MEASURE OF OUR FATHER'S LOVE

Grandpa did the ceremony













The Dad's offered a Blessing over the new couple.  This was the first time we ever saw anything like this but it was rather special. 
 










 
Justin and Kaitlyn came back into the church and dismissed each row.  This gave them a chance to greet everyone individually but yet kept things rolling.







 
 
Thank you for all your comments!

  1. What a beautiful wedding. All because Christ was put at the center of it. I love how the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked separately.;) I wish your sister and your brother in law a long and happy marriage where God leads their every part. And if its Gods will that they start a family, that they will raise their kids wholly upon Gods precepts and commandments. Lol sorry for the long comment, I just think christ centered weddings are so beautiful and encouraging. Anywho, God bless.
