Well, we got our friend, Ken, married off. He made a slide presentation and set it to music for the Rehearsal Dinner last night. It chronicled his Courtship. Yesterday afternoon, while we were setting up, decorating, and cooking, he came by the Hall to check on things. He stood for a minute and watched his slide show and got choked up. I was standing with him and turned to look at his face - his eyes were damp and he had an incredible look on his face.
After 52 years of singleness, the Lord has brought him the love of his life. His faithfulness has been rewarded.
The Rehearsal Dinner was beautiful, as was the wedding. As Ken's new bride was asking her father-in-law to dance with her today, I turned to look at Ken's mother and she was wiping her eyes. Their oldest son has finally married and they are privileged to be a part of the happiest time in his life.
It's hard to even express the peace and joy in my spirit. A good friend, someone I even dated once, that we were instrumental in moving towards marriage, finally has begun a new season in his life. And he's more deeply in love than he could have ever imagined was possible.
It was a lot of work and effort, a lot of planning and hours and hours on the phone, but it's over and it was wonderful. And worth every second.
God Bless Ken and Karen Wells as they begin the rest of their lives TOGETHER.
