More wedding photos
The Wedding ceremony was to start at 2:30 in the afternoon, but we had to be there just about 12:30 to set up the flowers and to have pictures taken. Pictures with the families are taken before the ceremony.
Everything was so well organized and planned out that no one in Priscilla's family was in need to miss anything, and there was even time to sit and talk a bit.
The church started filling up around 2, with families as far away as Mexico. One of Priscilla's uncles works at a mission in Mexico with Children and he was able to make it to the wedding.
The wedding itself was beautiful. The singing from the young people brought tears to many an eye as they sang Momma's Tears. First the devotional was given by a friend of Stevens, touching in the 5 good qualities he has seen in Steven that will continue to be a blessing for Steven as he builds him Christian home. After that the sermon was given by a man that Steven lived and worked with for a time and was about building a solid Christian home and he shared with Steven the importance of loving his new wife and caring for her. He used 1 John 4: 7-12 as foundation texts regarding the right type of love to have in a home and that no love is full unless God is at the head.
Then the bishop Jerry Ulrich married them, asking them a few questions and then announcing them as husband and wife. Steven teared up a bit during the ceremony and it made me feel good that we had raised a young man that is sensitive and so full of love that it overflows.
We felt so proud and while in the receiving line, so many congratulated us for what a good young man Steven has become.
They are now on their honey moon, and we are all praying for their safety and that each day be blessed with more and more love.
