The wedding went so well. Ben, Harrison's older brother, performed the ceremony. He did a great job. It was full of laughter, joy, Jesus, and beauty. Cesia was such a beautiful bride. The church building was a picturesque old sandstone one. The perfect setting for a wedding. The place was full of family and friends. 4 generations of our family. We are so blessed.
The reception was a little while later at the very same place Ben and Carly had their wedding and reception almost 8 years ago. Brought back some wonderful memories. Lots of good food, funny speeches and an opportunities to get to know those wonderful parents who have been so helpful in our son's life. Alexander, our other son, did an incredible song and dance number to honour (read, make fun of) his brother and new sister in law. I am so looking forward to the video of this. Think it might become the next YouTube sensation.
I am so happy for Harrison. There is a lot of "stuff" associated with the event of a wedding, but at the centre of it all are two young ones who have found love for each other and for God. That's a special and glorious thing. They have committed to each other for life and are happy to let the whole world know about it. Praise God!
Reminds me that 32 years ago God blessed me with my bride, Julie. She has been a wonderful wife and mother and now grandmother. God has truly blessed me. As Harrison looks forward to his first 32, I am filled with great anticipation for our next 32. Hopefully with lots of grandchildren (no pressure).
Grandson Footnote: While all the young folk (don't I sound old) were jumping up and down (they call it dancing) Julie and I got to play with Benji in a sound proofed room (the music was really loud). He was so happy and just sat on our laps for a long time. It was so wonderful. I seem to be using that word a lot in this blog.
After such a full weekend Julie and I are exhausted but it is a good exhaustion. Now, back to work. Well, maybe one more photo.
