yep cat, liked the idea. Even the professional one they get will be a whole different perspective. I hadn't thought about doing video during the ceremony but might do some of that too. Not the whole thing but shots here and there, who knows. If they want to see the ceremony, they can watch the professional video.

People are gathering in churches of different denominations through out the country at noon and at other times to pray for our nation, it's leaders (nationally and locally), our military, first responders, Government at all levels, the youth, our young people, the schools and the list goes on and on.
In additon, I encourage all here who pray, to pray for each other. Prayer is a mighty, mighty weapon
Quote:
2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
I am praying for many of your situations.
May God bless each of you in some special way that you know it comes from Him.

That was so nice. There was a really nice story in the paper today about how the churches have all come together today. It is a great thing to see that no matter what your Religion, our belief in the strength of prayer is something that we all share.
At the last minute a groomsman could not get released from work and had to drop out of the wedding. The groom asked me to step in at last night's wedding rehearsal. Originally I am thinking, I need to be free to keep things running smoothly and share this with him which he accepts. I think about it a bit and then ask him what he wanted and said he wanted me in the wedding from the start but deferred to my thinking I needed to stay out of the wedding party.
So, now I am in the wedding party!
God is so good! So, I get to rehearse with the wedding party and I have my video camera with me through the whole rehearsal. I am not one for being serious so I am clowning around when I can, but serious when I need to be.
Rehearsal is over and I have to race to the tux shop before they close, make it with 7 minutes to spare. The Tux comes from their warehouse so they say Saturday in the morning for sure but maybe the next day (but I could see they were doubting it because it was closing time). Saturday will make things very difficult because I have duties in the morning before having to get to the church earlier than previously planned.
Today is fully dedicated to getting the outside area of the Art Gallery ready for the reception. Then, I get a call from the Tux shop, "the tux is in."
The timing is perfect as I have to drive in that direction and when I do try on the tux, it fits.
(just got a return call from the bride, was able to take something else off her plate, give her some surprise good news and to reassure her everything else was on track! Poor thing)
When I first started doing some of these duties, I was having resentment towards my X, just because of my extreme proximity to my first wedding since the D. In the time since, it has simply been a blessing to serve these very special people.
"Lord, I love the life you have given me!"
