wedding

This past Friday afternoon, Daryl (who works in the Community Center with the after-school program and the recreation program) came into the library and said, "I'm getting married in about an hour over by the crosses--you should come over!" I had known he was going to get married this weekend, but I didn't expect it to be then! So, of course, I ran down and got the camera from our apartment.

It was a beautiful day (although chilly!) and it's a beautiful place that they decided to have their wedding. This is an area on the campus set up mainly for work camp groups to have their morning devotions. It overlooks the valley that serves as one of the pastures for the cows.

Daryl and Diane (who works at the Settlement's day care) decided to have a very simple ceremony to exchange rings. Wendell, who works in Mission Resources and is a retired pastor, officiated at the wedding. About ten or twelve people who work/volunteer at the Settlement were there to witness the ceremony.

I guess it just goes to show that you never know for sure what's going to happen on any given day! It was great to be part of this special time for Daryl and Diane. It was fun to wear jeans to a wedding, and it's good to know that the thing that was important to them was to get married--not necessarily to have a big to-do. I wish them the best as they start out on this new adventure together.
