Kelsey & Will Wedding & Dinner, May 24, 2015

New beginnings what does that mean to us? We wake up each morning and we may look forward to a day with more to do than we can possible get done, we may face a day with minor chores or perhaps maybe nothing planned at all. There is one thing you can say for sure you have awaken to a day of new beginnings. You may have never looked at it that way before but when you think about it that is what you face - a new beginning. Our new beginning today May 24, 2015 was to learn what the weather had in store for us rain or what. The decision had been made to move the wedding indoors but still we would loved to have had a day, this day especially, without rain. Today one of the new beginnings would be a family would gain a new son-in-law and another would gain a new daughter-in-law. Will would gain a wife and Kelsey would gain a husband and together they will have a new beginning as a family and a select few of us will have the privilege to witness this blessed event. It is a blessed event because the marriage of one man to one woman is ordained by God. I thank God I got to see it. As previously documented in the posting on the rehearsal the marriage will take place in the Dresser Mansion. The following photographs cover some of the people and events and are contributed by number of people.

The above Program was handed out at the entrance of Dresser Mansion. There is a loving memory in the program of a grandfather and grandmother who are no longer with us who were sorely missed at this joyous occasion.

Always checking the final details of each dress.

What a beautiful wedding this was and I thank God for allowing me to witness this event which I have prayed for for years and thanks to the families for permitting me to have some small part in the ceremony. I pray Gods richest blessings on Will and Kelsey as they start on the joyous and wonderful adventure of married life. As always remember what I always say. God loves you and so do I.
