This wedding had it all ... 14 bridesmaids, 13 groomsmen, 2 ringbearers, 1 flowergirl, a 5-person acapella ensemble, 2 scripture readers, a unity candle, practical jokes between the groomsmen, a ringbearer's bodily noise disturbance during the ceremony {I'll let you guess what happened there}, a judge, a congressman, a minister's first wedding to officiate {and a partridge in a pear tree :) }

Kim works for a congressman and let me tell you, she has her stuff together! The ceremony was very traditional, but had an extremely personal feel to it. One of the most meaningful and moving ceremony moments I've experienced lately happened at this wedding. Kim's father passed away a few years ago and during one of their last conversations that talked about Kim's future mate and how the most important thing in marriage is Christ and a spouse that will "stand by you" always. In tribute to her father, Kim asked The Smith Family (dear friends of her father) to sing "Stand By Me." I know that Chance and Kim will stand by each other forever.

One of our minister's John Cullen did pre-marital counseling with Kim and Chance. Through their time together they formed a special bond; and asked John to officiate. John has not been on staff here too terribly long and had not yet been licensed. He made sure to get things taken care of prior to October so that he could marry them. It was John's first wedding to officiate and he did great!!!! There were lots of elements in this wedding and he executed the ceremony perfectly! I'm already looking forward to the next one he does! Thanks John!
