| There
are a number of choices to make when planning a wedding including things
like what colors to use, who is going to perform the ceremony, and who
is going to be in the wedding. Here are some the choices that we
made for Ours. |
| - |
We
decided to go with two of our favorite colors which are teal green and
peach. The Bridesmaid dresses were teal, and some of the flowers
were peach. Our decorations and favors included both colors.
We chose to go with basic black for the tuxedos, with teal green bowties. |

Overview
Rooms
were rented at a Holiday Inn in Kulpsville, PA. for the overnight stay.
We held the rehearsal dinner there as well. The wedding itself was
held at Calvary Church of Souderton. For our reception we used a
large banquet room at the church and had the food catered in by Wegman's.
Our honeymoon had two parts. The first was a stay at a Bed and Breakfast
which included a wonderful sunday morning brunch with the family and a
time to open our gifts. The second part was a trip to Clearwater
Beach, Florida where we stayed in a motel right on the Gulf of Mexico. |

Our
Pastor and Our Service
Who knew finding a pastor would be so difficult. When our first choice
had to cancel, we were left to find an available pastor from those on the
church staff. We made the right choice in choosing Pastor Joe Hesh.
He is very funny and great to be around. He is also an accomplished
musician, and he wrote a song just for our wedding. Two of the most
important choices are what vows you are going to use in the service and
also what you are going to do for music. We wanted something different
and more contemporary for our vows. We found something we really
liked and all was well until the morning of when Pastor Joe couldn't find
them. For music, we opted for pretty much the standard entrance and
exit songs played on organ. We got my brother Rick to play prelude
music on the piano, and he also played during the lighting of the unity
candle. Usually there is also special music of some kind during the
service. I decided that I wanted to write a song for Beth and sing
it during the wedding. What an amazing adventure that turned out
to be.

The
Wedding Party
Choosing
who will be in your wedding party can be difficult. We decided we
would keep it small and go with 2 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen, in addition
to the Maid of Honor and Best man. We also had one flower girl.
In the absence of a ringbearer, Our best man was charged with keeping the
rings in his pocket. Click right
