The Rehearsal Dinner was held at our home (something Zachary had always wanted to do). We decided to do a luau by the pool and it was so pretty. We managed to eat before it got dark. I wish I had some photos after dark when the torches were lit and all the candles. We played beach and caribbean music and it was a wonderful party.
That's Zachary's cousin, Kenneth, straight from Iraq sitting beside him.
My wonderful husband was up at daylight the day of the wedding making chicken skewers with pineapple for the reception. He is absolutely amazing!
Everyone forgot about getting a marriage liscense! There was a mad scramble the first of the week to get Candace's birth certificate fedex and get to the courthouse Friday.
The Shelter at our church all decorated and ready to go.

Finally, here we are with the happy couple along with Zachary's father. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the ceremony was sweet and thougtful. I cried, Jacob lost it totally during the unity sand ceremony and both of Zachary's dads shed some tears as well. All in all the past eight months have been at times enough to drive anyone batty, but in the end they were both happy and that's what counts.
The Getaway!
Precious Jesus, I pray your hands of protection upon these two lives. I pray you will always be the center of their marriage. I pray you will bless their home and future. Thank you for my Christian friends who helped make this wedding a reality. Thank you for placing such wonderful people in my life.
