He stood in a Sunday school room in the basement of the church. Surrounded by the men in his life he cherished most, they swayed with their hands in their pockets awaiting the ceremony, exchanges glances of respect and joy with him. Together they formed a circle, surrounding him with their presence. They bowed their heads and and lifted their hearts as they talked with God about the vow he was about to make.
She stood in a Sunday school room just outside the sanctuary of the church. Surrounded by the women in her life she cherished most, they fiddled with their bouquets and took a rest from their high heel shoes as they awaited the ceremony, exchanges smiles of love and excitement with her. Together they stood in circle, put down their bouquets, and joined hands. They bowed their heads and lifted their faces towards the heavens as they talked with God about the vow she was about to make.
Together they stood at the alter in a sanctuary full of people in their lives they cherished most. With tears lining their eyes, their gazes fixed on each other, they held hands. Heart to heart, they bowed their heads and lifted their prayers, along with the prayers of the congregation as they talked with Him about the vow they were about to make.
Tori and Dustin were married this past weekend in beautiful, sunny Prescott, Arizona. People came from far and wide for their union. Dustin, you are like a brother to me. What a blessing to see you all grown up and leading such a beautiful bride. And Tori, now you too are like a sibling. From day one you have treated me like family and for that I thank you. May you two have an incredible time in the British Virgin Islands! I can’t wait to see you on your next trip through Colorado.
So much love and joy to you,
René + Jesie
