Our family has been in North Carolina this past weekend for my cousin Thomas’ wedding.  Tom has been serving the LORD as a single man at a school down in South America for the past 5 years, trusting the LORD’s timing for a Godly woman.  It was a joy for us to celebrate his union with Rebecca, a woman who is just that.  I had the pleasure to assist in officiating a part of the wedding and the whole family enjoyed a nice, balmy, 95+ degree day for the outdoor wedding and reception.

The kids did their best to stay cool, even sitting with their legs in the pool during the reception:

Thomas and I enjoyed a picture together at the wedding:

Dolly and the Scooter posed with Rebekah at the groom’s dinner the night before:

Here’s a picture of the bride and groom with the family contingent from Tom’s side (way to ride that plane granny!):

And at the end of the day, our daughters were still smiling:
