Wedding Bells

On Sunday we got to celebrate the wedding of Dan and Magdelina at the Refuge.

After church all the Refugees worked together to make the church look beautiful and then wait for the bride and groom to come.

Magdelina walked down on a carpet of flower petals to Canon in D.

As a church we joined them to open the ceremony with singing.

We sang the songs: How Beautiful and the song Blessed Assurance.

We rearranged the chairs to be facing a side of the church instead of the front and decorated that area with and arch.

Wolfgang was the photographer.

I also had my camera and tried to stay out of his way. :)

While Wolfgang took pictures of the couple I tried to get pictures of the guests including some of theses cute kids.
The flower girl and her cousin had fun playing with the flower petals during the ceremony.

They had a traditional ceremony. But it was also unique for them as a couple.

They couldn't get both candles in the frame when they went to light the Unity Candle so the best man held it for them.

During the lighting of the unity candle the Twins and I played You Raise Me Up.

Notice Melody is holding Rachel's music? We forgot our stand!

You may kiss your bride!
If you want to see more pictures from the ceremony you will have to ask Wolfgang if you can see his!
Cutting the cake.
Lauren helped walk them through the proper way to cut the cake!
Joyful servants!
Time for more pictures!
There were pictures of the bride and groom, pictures of them with the brides family and then ones with the grooms family, pictures with friends...
...even pictures with the pastor!

And there were plenty of photographers!
Wolfgang wasn't around to take pictures of the rings so I stole these!
I was pleased with how they turned out!
Here are couple of my favorites of the bride!

The arch looked so pretty we had to get pictures of everyone by it.

Kaleb just looks cute everywhere!Just over a year ago these two got married under this arch!
