I’ve been married for almost a month and I still haven’t written about it.  Yikes!

Heidi and I married each other on Saturday, August 30th, 2008.  It was a fun morning ceremony with many of our favorite people there with us.  Like Claudia and Kara … who officiated for us.  Kara witnessed our vows, Claudia preached, and both of them presided at the eucharist.

This is a fun accident – but I don’t remember  much about being at the church besides the ceremony!  I remember waking up that morning, bustling about at DDH while trying to get me and my groomsmen ready.  I remember rushing Heidi over to St. Paul and the Redeemer for her hair appointment with my aunt Peg, and then I remember the photo shoot.  The details of the photo shoot aren’t vivid without the aid of the pictures (so the pictures are perfect and do exactly what they’re supposed to do: remind and remember!)  The service details, the emotions and the feeling of worship are what remain vivid about the ceremony.  Our picnic afterwards is a rush and whilwind for me — in our first moments as a married couple, Heidi and I spent them being whisked apart to see and meet people.  But no worries: we had times together with family and friends as well.  Beyond the time in the church, what really sticks out to me was the joy of jeans and a white t-shirt as I changed for the car ride up to MN for our honeymoon.

It was fitting that the worship service is the part I remember best.  Most family members told us afterwards that it was also the part that seemed most important to them.  The rehearsal dinner was casual.  The picnic was casual.  The worship service was formal, and set apart.

For those of you who were there, what do you remember most?  Leave a comment below.  And don’t forget to check out the wedding albums for more pictures!
