Old Fashioned Church Wedding

I call this an "old fashioned church wedding" because the bride grew up in the church, and anybody who is part of the congregation was invited to attend. The bride and her sister both sing in the choir, even as young adults today.

Most of those folks there have known her since she was born.  We, of course, only in more recent years.

It was definitely a Christian wedding, with hymns and scripture selections. Many weddings nowadays are more generic and less religious.  In this case, both the bride and groom are active church folks, grounded in their faith.

Back in the days of my youth, in a simpler time and place, weddings took place in the church, and there was typically a reception in the church fellowship hall following the service.  That was also true today.

For closer family and friends, I'm sure that there will also be a more formal reception in another location,  with a presentation of the wedding party,  the typical dances, a wedding cake and other festivities.

We are just delighted that we got to enjoy being a part of the church portion of this wedding ceremony.  We wish them many blessings!
