Wedding Weekend

Good Morning everybody! Today is a fun day! Two years ago, our first summer here, we had two interns for the youth ministry. Both interns were MKs and somehow ended up at our church through random connections. The guy, Tyler, immediately connected with Ed. They worked really well together and he absolutely loved the students. The students loved him as well. Anyway, Tyler went back to school that fall and everyone missed him. He graduated and moved back home to Richmond to work as a PT, but started working with the youth again. Really he was Ed's right hand man. Ed could rely on him for everything. They were so like minded when it came to ministry. The past year has been amazing. He proposed to his girlfriend and has been planning the wedding all year. He and Lauren are getting married tomorrow and Ed is doing the wedding. I have been doing a lot of the coordinating for the church. So we have been very busy preparing for the wedding. Yesterday, we moved all the furniture off the stage. It was very heavy.
So today we have the rehearsal and dinner. It will be so fun to celebrate this time with them. I hope to have pictures up soon, but our camera broke, so I have to wait for the film to be developed on our old camera. (how weird is that?)
Micah has gone to the beach with my parents, so it is nice that I have one less child to think of this weekend. (I'm sure he is having a blast!) Tomorrow Ed and I will be at church pretty much all day. We are very excited to send off Tyler and Lauren to Southeastern (where we went) for seminary. They are doing the 2+2 program because they want to go overseas. So it is very sad to see them leave Grace, but we are very excited for their new lives together.
