Wedding #2–Ceremony

Here are a few more pictures from last Saturday’s wedding of PIU students Jesse (my nephew) and Jonie. I was privileged to be able to officiate the ceremony. Funny, I had not officiated a wedding ceremony in several years, but did two within a few days last week. My favorite part of this wedding was that Jesse and Jonie (left) had composed their own vows to each other. I wish more couples would do that. I could tell that both of them really had thought through the commitment they were making to each other and the words were quite moving. So, a lot of family pictures here again. (right)
