For a reminder, I decided to share a few Ceremony Readings below and our Wedding Song.

Hand in Hand you enter marriage, hand in hand you step out in faith. The hand you freely give to each other, is both the strongest and the most tender part of your body. In the years ahead you will need both strength and tenderness. Be firm in your commitment. Don't let your grip become weak. And yet, be flexible as you go through change. Don't let your hold become intolerable. Strength and tenderness, firm commitment and flexibility, of such is a marriage made, hand in hand:

Also remember that you don't walk this path alone. Don't be afraid to reach out to others when together you face difficulty. Other hands are there: friends, family, and the church. To accept an outreached hand is not an admission of failure, but an act of faith. For behind us, underneath us, around us all, are the outstretched arms of the Lord. It is into his hand, the hands of God in Jesus Christ, that, above all else, we commit this union of husband and wife. Amen

Listen to our Wedding Song

I Corinthians 13: 4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Family Matters

We'd like to shine a little spot-light on our families especially because (if you didn't know)

they ALL came from OUT of STATE!!

(Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, California, Minnesota, North Dakota)

Eric and I love our big family more than words can express and are so thankful to have them in our lives.

So before I get cheesy and sound lame trying to explain how much we love them- i'll just get on with it!

Starting with the Groom's Family!

Randy (Dad), Marie (Mom) & Rachael (Sister)

Handsome Bob (Gpa) & lovely Bea (Gma)

Rachael, such a lovely Bridesmaid!

3 Generations of Theisen Men

And now for the Bride's Family!

Mark & Stephanie, Steve (Dad) & Carol (Mom), Caitlin & Josh

Happy Hearld (Gpa) & stylish Naomi (Gma)

And I love my Mom

3 Generations of the Lalala Ladies

He want to Kiss the Girl!

Ok so...If we were to have a pretend wedding right now... I'm pretty sure we wouldn't leave this out...

You may now kiss the Bride!!

I mean come on people, its like the kiss that seals the deal!

And if you were at our wedding, you probably realized you can't kiss

the Bride before the Pastor says the Magic Words Eric!!

Thanks to our photographers, they caught this all on camera.

Let us begin... Naturally, Pastor Duff stopped looking at his program notes and thus he began to wander off course. I realize this and try to help get the wedding back on track because you never know what Duff will say next. Or I guess in this case, what he won't say. Ha!

So here I am mouthing to Pastor Duff, "You may now Kiss the BRIDE"

Notice: Pastor Duff's listening face and Eric's listening face.
