To no one’s surprise in our family, Luke (our third child) was the first to get married. \u00a0Thus, the title of this update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days before the wedding, we traveled over to Wisconsin to help with some the wedding preparations and to spend a little bit of time with Delainey\u2019s family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke and Delainey’s “guestbook” was a Bible and guests were asked to sign by highlighting a verse and writing a note.<\/p>\n\n\n

We were touched by Luke and Delainey\u2019s thoughtfulness of Ginger\u2019s parents and other family members who couldn\u2019t make it to the wedding.\u00a0 Delainey specially crocheted some sunflowers for this table in memory of Ginger\u2019s mom, Sue.<\/p>\n\n\n

Just before the wedding ceremony, we caught a priceless picture of Luke and his groomsmen (including his brother Jonathan) huddled together and praying.<\/p>\n\n\n

The wedding ceremony was short, simple, and sweet, just like this update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please pray with us for Luke and Delainey as they start their lives together and seek the Lord\u2019s guidance for their future.<\/p>\n\n\n
