The local mission hosted a community wedding to wed those who have been living together and have since come to the Lord, and want their relationship to be bonded in Holy Matrimony. Three couples were wed... What a testament!
The community chipped in to make the wedding possible... Often people here don't get married simply because they can't afford it, and a few of these couples couldn't. Wedding clothes were rented, borrowed, or sewn... All guests brought food to share, everyone chipped in for the cake, lawyer costs, etc.
It was amazing. A real community effort to help these couples become husbands and wives!
Tom and I offered to be the photographers for the wedding... Our gifts to the couples are printed photos of their special day... I can hardly wait to share these with them!
And this was Sunday, February 14th... How romantic!!

so cute! nice pics
I forgot that this event was going to take place. Sounds like it went very well. Great job on the pics.
I don't know about the rest of you - but I got a lump in my throat when I saw these photos ;] the word generosity just doesn't seem to cover the gifts, decor and most of all - healing that was given and received. What a blessing it must have been to be invited to participate in their day! Their eyes are full of love and gratitude, your beautiful photos will be precious memories for them and their children's children! "Well done, good and faithful servant"(s) Matthew 25:21
