Secondly, we want to share with you the amazing weekend we had – we attended the wedding of a dear friend in Detroit, Michigan.  It was a quick trip to witness the vows of a lifetime – actually THEIR lifetime!  We never tire of being there for friends and family, and we take our presence seriously in helping to see them uphold these vows in the years to come.  What a privilege it is to watch God take two completely different people and unite them into “one flesh”.  It’s a miracle!

Who witnessed your wedding?  Are they still involved in your lives?  Do they help you remember those words you promised so long ago?  If they do, count yourself blessed!  In this day and age having friends such as these are rare indeed and worth emulating.
