A Wedding Shower

Yesterday we hosted a wedding shower for our newly married friends, Woody and Gina. It was a joy to share in their celebration and to see their excitement! The Lord gave us a wonderful afternoon together, and here are some pictures from the shower.

the happy couple!

hmm… how well do you know each other?? This was a fun game: the bride and groom were each asked questions about the other, and if they answered incorrectly, they had to chew an additional piece of gum. It made for quite the mouthful!

A Poem for Woody and Gina
_{June 3, 2007}
Woody and Gina, you’re two of a kind
Remember the saying that love is blind
Now some may think it makes the world go round
But seek Christ first to keep your marriage sound.

With Him at the head you cannot go wrong
Build your home with joy and many a song
Submit to each one as to God above
Put the other first and you’ll find true love.

A love that bears and believes all things too
Not rude or selfish, but patient and true
Is kind, considerate and never fails
Honors, respects and compassion prevails.

Leave father and mother, now you are one
Yet honor them, you’re still daughter and son
Cleave to each other as husband and wife
Then you will have a most meaningful life.

Eat right, exercise and strive for good health
Plan, budget; but don’t accumulate wealth
Avoid debt and the lure of quick money
Listen to the cautions of your honey.

Don’t let the sun go down on your anger
Forgive, forget; you’ll stay far from danger
Suit up in God’s armor for every day
And a hedge over your spouse you should pray.

Marriage is a wonderful gift from God
So you should consider the path you trod
Take time to love, hold and cherish your mate
Your life together, oh may it be great!
By John Lavin
