....Let man not seperate.~ Mark 10:9
A light moment after all the legal happenings of the ceremony!! Just behind the happy couple are the very proud parents of the bride. :)
Our church has just finished building this chapel, so this was one of the first weddings to be held there. The first one was actually the brides cousin, two months earlier!!
It is so beautiful with stone cladding and wooden pews.....really romantic. I told my husband that I wanted us to renew our vows there next February as we will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary......Needless to say, he is not as taken with the idea as I am!!! hahaha
Thank You all, once again, for your encouraging comments on yesterday's picture of my emotional groom...I'm so glad you were all moved by it! You are all a real blessing!!! Have a splendid Thursday.
God Bless, Mandy. X
Thank You so much for visiting and commenting on my blog!! It is greatly appreciated.

Have an awesome week everyone! :)

@Rags: Thank You so much Rags!
Such a beautiful chapel; from the look of the window arches, it looks like it could be quite historic for such a new place. Somebody had a very good architect and a pretty good budget to work with. I'm curious as to what church this is.
And the couple is just bubbling all over with joy. A great combination.
And in advance of next Feb, happy tenth anniversary. And many more blessings in years to come.

@Viewfinder: Hey VF. Thanks as always for your very encouraging comments.
The church I attend is called Trinity Community Church. We used to be Trinity Methodist but the leadership decided that the name kept people away because they thought they needed to be methodists to join!! :) We actually use a lot of Material from the Willow Creek Church in CHicago.
We were blessed to have a great architect and a good budget....members of the congregation donated money for the gardens and we got the pews from a 2nd hand place that refurbished them. Congregation members also donated the stained glass windows......so we were really Blessed.
And thank you kindly for the well wishes for my upcoming anniversary - greatly appreciated. I can't believe it's already been 10 years! :)

What an obviously overjoyed couple - how perfect to go to one like that, rather than where a member of the wedding party is so scared they're making a mistake they look like they could keel over any time...

Oh wow, Mandy, I love this one too!! So joyful and full of fun, yet so rich in meaning and warmth as well. This is an absolute gem! :) May I also say thank you so much for all your most kind and affirming words at my site in the past several days. I deeply appreciate all that you’ve said and all that you are, dear sister and frend. Your photos, posts and visits are among those that I most look forward to on Am3! :)
