da, da, dada, dun......wedding march?

Heehee, dontcha' like my blog title? Yeppers, my brother Shiloh finally got married! Him and his girlfriend (now wife) have been together for about 3 years, lived together for 1 of those years, and finally decided to tie the knot! Of course since they both live in Texas, that's where the wedding was, so we loaded everything up and headed out there for their December 1st wedding date.

When they announced their engagement they asked me to play the wedding march at their wedding....well, that sort of meta morphed into doing all of the music for the wedding which ended up being a little bit difficult. The reason it was difficult is because since the wedding was a vintage Christmas theme, I had to find music (or suggest) that was just right for a wedding but yet "Christmasy". So, the preludes that I played on the piano was a melody of Christmas songs. Then the grandparents and mothers came in to "Carol of the Bells" (that is fun to play!), then the bridal party came in to "Winter Wonderland"......then the wedding march of course =). To make it fun, they walked out to "All I want for Christmas is you". The entire wedding was pretty quick, but that is what the bride wanted was a "short and sweet" wedding =)

Here are a few pictures of the wedding....I'll add more later of the reception.

Last but not least, here is a picture of my beautiful parents :-) I thank God every day for parents who raised me right and love Him with their whole heart! They have been through a lot, definitely tested in the fire, the life of a pastor and his wife can be a stressful and sometimes lonely one, but come "hell or high water" they have never given up on the Hope we have in Christ Jesus!
I love you Daddy and Mama!!!
