September 26th was the day of my sister's wedding...and my new brother's :o) It was a beautiful wedding from preparation to sending off :o) Everyone at some point got teary eyed looking at Jodi or the two of them....they both waited to find the right person and got brought them together miraculously. God is faithful to those that trust Him even though His timing does not always make sense to us. The ceremony started with the walking down of the family members, but what was different was that each bridesmaid walked down with one flower princess (except for one that had two :o)) so I got to walked with my very own flower princess :o) To add to the excitement we were met at the front by our 'men'...for some of us it really was our men...and we stood together on the same side as opposed to the traditional M-F split. Jodi and Dad walked down the aisle with the song 'My girl'...so cute and playful...just like who Jodi is. At some point of the wedding the whole family was invited to stand with them and pray over them, and Stephen was asked to voice our prayers.
The reception was great with a live band from our parent's church so we danced and let loose :o) It was fun...as much as I can attest for myself.
The send-off was inspired by their first date and engagement, they got squirted with blue squirt guns (emulating the sprinklers)...some person did something that I think was foolish and dumped a bucket of water on them...however, I am pretty sure that in retrospect that has added a little unexpected fun in the memories of Jodi and Dan...and she was not wearing her dress...in case you were wondering :o)
