Some Long Awaited WEDDING PICTURES !!!!

Here are some pictures from our wedding. They roughly flow through the ceremony and end with a couple pictures from the reception. Lord willing, next week we'll be able to put up some pictures of the wedding re-celebration the SPC congregations had for us here in Tassie.


Rev. Ray Lanning, myself, and my groomsmen entered from a door on the far right (off picture). The groomsmen are (left to right & bottom to top) Randy Pederson, Bert Pohl, Todd Munson, and Aaron Rozeboom.


The bridesmaids entered after the grandparents and parents were seated. The first of the amazingly beautiful bridesmaids was Martha's older sister Joanna.


The second amazingly beautiful bridesmaid was Martha's younger sister Lydia.


The third amazingly beautiful bridesmaid was Martha's other younger sister Esther.


The last, but certainly not least, amazingly beautiful bridesmaid was Martha's youngest sister Elisabeth.


Martha's older brothers Daniel and Peter unroll the runner.


Martha's youngest brother Nathanael (otherwise known as "Buddy") and cousin Lanae were the ring bearer and flower girl.

Greetings in Our Lord & Saviour! Thank you so much for posting these beautiful wedding photos (and thanking the Lord, they are also a graceful testimony of Christian modesty). These are such a blessing to see, especially for all those who were not able to personally attend. Praise God! for your recent special news, as well, as we and many share in all your joys and thanksgivings to God this year. May the Lord abundantly bless, sanctify, and use you both in Him, His Word, in His service, and in all His ways: The Narrow Way. Prayerfully Love in Christ, Your brother & sister in Him from New Jersey (you may remember us, sister Martha/Mrs. Klaver, as we've visited Heritage Reformed Congregation of Franklin Lakes, NJ during the afternoon worship services in the past where you and your dear parents and siblings graciously greeted us there (we also know some of your dear relatives from Trinity); we hope to visit Heritage again soon, Lord willing).

Thanks for the greetings and congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. __. I think you forgot to put your name in, though, so I'm not sure who you are. If you could leave another comment and remind me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks :D
