Yesterday we went to the wedding of Kara J. and Tommy S. Kara is a sweet girl who was Kirsten's camp counselor last year. Tommy is the brother of a man in our church. They are one of the sweetest couples we have ever seen. They are the light of each other's eyes and they usually have their eyes on each other. They wrote their own vows and also promised to put Christ first in their marriage, their life and in all things. Kara's mother died last year of a brain aneurysm and it was an emotional wedding for everyone. Kara has four other siblings and they have all been homeschooled their whole life. Their family is a truly inspirational family as they have put Christ first and have continued to be a witness to everyone around them of their faith.
Kara smiles at Tommy in the way that we ought always to smile at our spouses.
This couple showed amazing restraint in their courtship and came to their wedding as an example of "true love waits." I hope all of our young people do the same. It was a special time for all in attendance to witness these two get married.
Kirsten was so glad to go to the wedding and gave Kara a big hug while Martha looked at Kara's dress (she said it was the prettiest dress she had ever seen).
A Fearsome Foursome -- Martha, Claire, Kirsten, and Margaret
This wedding cake was made by my friend Heather P. It tasted as good as it looks, too.
Sharing their first dance, while everyone smiles. The fire alarm sounded as they were finishing up their dance. I thought someone set it off because they were "smoking hot" on the dance floor. Actually, the alarm malfunctioned but the timing was pretty funny.
