Kids Getting Married

What, we have had 2 days of rain this summer, yeah, that's right - last weekend ... the weekend of our son Mark's wedding. Look at the weather today and the forecast for this weekend - clear, sunny and hot.

You know what, since we prayed long and hard for a beautiful weekend for the wedding, we have to look at where the real beauty was. It was a marvellous wedding, beautiful in absolutely every way (except for the weather)! Even the gift opening on Sunday afternoon was a wonderful time (except for the weather) of at least 35 people over at our townhouse. Actually, the weather dried up Sunday afternoon, winding down the only 2 days of rain all summer.

Yes, Mark and Lisa's wedding was a wonderful time. A lot of work went into preparing for it, and the preparations were all worth it. I had the special privilege of actually marrying them. Their pastor, Adam Wiggins (from Pacific Church in Yaletown), did the message. He had some great words for Mark and Lisa - and for all of us in attendance.

I'll put up a few photos, but we left most of the picture taking to the professsionals - to be seen later. You'll see that we hosted the guys as they got ready.

Mark's on the right.


Jonathan is on the left.



I love the 1967 Camaro SS - owned by a friend of the bestman.
