A Surprise Wedding

When my friend Laura and I went to Israel this last March, she met Bill.  After the week long conference in Israel, they parted ways and went home.  Laura to her home in Washington State and Bill to his home in Tennesee. After four long months of getting to know each other long distance, Bill decided to drive out to Washington State to see Laura.  Upon seeing each other again in person they decided almost immediately that it was a match made in heaven and an answer to their prayers for a marriage partner.  On July 1st we met for coffee and two days later I got busy gathering up all my ideas I'd been saving from reading design and wedding blogs and went to work overnight creating a sweet little park wedding for friends on 4th of July.

I was surprised and amazed that we pulled this all together in 3 days and I'm positive it was all by God's hand.  When Bill and Laura came to me, I told them to go get their marriage license and I would take care of the rest.  In three days I got a pastor friend to perform the ceremony, picked out a place for the wedding ceremony, pulled together what I had at home for decorations and baked and decorated a cake.  The day turned out perfect and everything was beautiful!  God is good!
