They Are Married

Monday, May 23, 2022

Hello friends,

              They are married!  Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Max and Rachel Thooft!  It was absolutely glorious!  So many people worked very hard to make everything so perfect.  Almost an army of volunteers transformed the plain 4H building into a lovely reception hall complete with lots of flowers from several sources including peonies from our flower beds.  The church was packed out with friends and family and since Rachel is a talented worship leader, they had an awesome group of musicians and singers that lead us into serious praise and thanksgiving to God for all he has done and in particular, for bringing these two together.  If you go on Facebook, I have shared a portion that someone recorded.  Just awesome.  The reception was quite a party with EVERYONE dancing like they were doing aerobics!  The weather held out and they could open the big door, so it didn’t get hot.  The food was great, the fellowship was great, and all the memories put a sweet smile on my face and an emotional tear or two.  The brunch the next day that I confess was my point of stress, turned out so nice thanks to help from my daughter in-law Celia and Christin.  I am beginning to feel back to normal as we have put away a lot of leftover food, dishes, and bedding.  The house is full of flowers that just makes me smile.  Sigh!  It was awesome….
