A Wedding

Yesterday was the big day for Joël, our son, and Vivian, a Dutch girl who Jöel met in Holland during his Bible School years. I had the honor of walking my son to the front of the Church and felt like a film star... Aahs and Oohs and photos galore... it was so nice :) Hundreds of photos were taken, and these are just some of mine:

This was taken in the afternoon after the Church wedding ceremony having arrived at the reception for the  festivities.

This was in the evening at the resort where the reception was held.

I took this one very formally in the morning.

The children wanted to hold her dress so she ran with them up the village.....

and back down again.... it was such a joyous atmosphere and the weather was incredible. We praise the Lord for all the richest blessings that He bestowed upon us all.

The dinner, which was Paella was brought in a huge pan around 7 o'clock and we sat under the trees to enjoy our meal.

As the shadows fell, a group of musicians played joyful Spanish music - although there were no castanets, the atmosphere was great! It was such a wonderful day, unforgettable! In the light of what I went through last year I was so thankful to our Heavenly Father I could be there on the day, with hair and feeling well and able to enjoy every single minute of it!
