Wedding

This weekend I was honored to officate the wedding of some friends.  They are relatively new friends but I felt like we had known them forever.

This couple was married in 1998.  Since then, they had three kids and a wonderful life and then due to some unfortunate mistakes, they got a divorce a few years ago. 

With a lot of hard work and committment, they have come back together and I knew they were considering getting re-married so I told them I would gladly officiate if they wanted a quicky wedding.  I thought it was going to be just a thing in their living room or something, but they decided to go to a place where they had each spent time as kids and a place that meant a lot to them personally.

We all went up to the Metolius River, one of my favorite places in Oregon and had the ceremony there.  We stayed at the Metolius River Lodges.  Our cabin was about 6 feet from the river and we slept with the windows open all night.  I loved it. 

To protect their privacy, as not all of their family, and most of our co-workers do not know that they were getting re-married (or that they were ever divorced), I'm not including their pictures.  Even though they were all beautiful.  Here is one of the Brown Eyed Man and me to hold you over:

It was just them, their three children and the two of us.  I felt so honored to be a part of their family coming back together.  What a great day.
