We Love You Fred : - )

Friday was the Stuber wedding rehearsal.

It is always a privilege to be a part of these special days of brothers and sisters who's lives I was a blessed to be a part of at all before their wedding. This wedding had a bonus though. The father of the bride was our church's Pastor of Music. If you were to divide the various parts of this particular church office into bodily characteristics (ears, brains, muscle) Fred would be the smile. Did that sound cool at all, or just weird?

I thought Emily's intimidating camera would be at the rehearsal, so mine was left at home none the wiser. Turns out neither of us brought them, so you get phone pics.

Fred has four daughters to get rid let go of eventually, and Julie is the first. It took a few tries to finally get Fred to say "Her mother and I do" and to put Jed and Julie's hands together. :-)
I resisted the urge to break out the camera during the wedding while on stage, this time. During the rehearsal, however, you can see where Fred perched himself to lead the audience in worship for a few songs. How sweet it was. No I was NOT a bridesmaid! The wedding party maids and men were pared and distributed all over the stage. It was VERY nice.

Jed and Julie had a special song they wanted to play from a CD after being introduced as the new couple. Someone put in a different song during the rehearsal which was quite funny (don't remember the song) and so everyone thought the surprises were done. Remember that.

Chris and Jerelyn dropped the special request bomb for their wedding on Josh after dinner. "Sure! I'd be happy to" he said. I can't wait.
