Wedding Bells

Friday evening we attended the wedding of Joseph Thoroughman and Lynette Watters. it was a lovely candlelight ceremony. The bride was so beautiful as she walked up the isle on her proud father's arm. The bride's father Tim Watters and the groom sang a touching song called My Little Girl as Joseph pledged his love and to care for Tim's "Little Girl" before Tim gave her hand to Joseph. After the invocation Joseph sang a song he wrote to Lynette called Between your Heart and Mine. Then Tim gave the charge in his humorous way as he assured Joseph it was in his "best interest" to be gentle with Lynette and he charged Lynette that she would now submit to Joseph. The vows were exchanged, Bibles presented,unity candles lit, followed by a prayer of blessing by Joseph's grandfather. Concluding with Joseph and Lynette singing so eloquently To Serve Christ. Then the moment Joseph had been waiting for (so stated Lynette's father) as they were pronounced husband and wife. A reception was held at the Tecumseh Community Center. The menu included ham, scalloped potatoes, corn, green beans, and rolls. Lynette's mother, Esther out-did herself with her special recipe for the potatoes. The entire wedding was a lovely, touching, and Christ-honoring event from beginning to end. The newly weds are honeymooning in the heart of Amish country in Ohio. As Abigail stated at the conclusion of the ceremony,"Now they can live happily- ever after." May God grant that it be so. Congratulations Lynette and Joseph Thoroughman.
