clara & bob's wedding: the ceremony

The big day finally arrived!  These next couple posts will probably be some of the most special that I'll ever write, because over the past year, Clara has meant so much to me.  Her friendship and steadfastness as we both made the transition to life in DC together was such a blessing, and I certainly won't ever be able to thank her enough for giving me Molly as a roommate.  But I know Clara has absolutely found the love of her life, and I couldn't be happier to watch her move back to Ohio and start the life she's dreamed of for so long.  So, please enjoy these pictures from Clara and Bob's beautiful ceremony, and come back tomorrow for the lovely reception!

We were early bird arrivals, ready to get cracking at 10 AM!


Well, maybe not all of us.


The rotunda setting at the ABWE was beautiful!


Mmmmm yep, lots to do.



See those bows up there?  Well, this was our emergency trip to AC Moore to replace them.


Molly's dress!


After all the set-up, I got ready pretty fast, so I went outside and creeped on a spider.



Oh, and Paul and I had an impromptu photo shoot.  Even though nothing is really impromptu with Paul.



Stacey and me waiting for the big moment!


Paul diligently handing out programs...


Jordan protested that bow on his stand, but we all know how I feel about bows.



Love this picture of Grant and me!


Married?  (Not a snowball's chance in h-e-double hockey sticks.)



Here she comes!





Clara's sisters, Julia and Emma...




Bob's big brother...


...and Clara's sister, Grace!


These two sang beautifully!


It's official!



Hope you felt like you were there!  Their ceremony truly was a worship service, and I know their marriage will be a fabulous testament to God's love and faithfulness!  Congrats, you two!

Oh, and if you missed their engagement photos, you can find them here and here!
