Some things that stood out about the wedding and accompanying festivities.

It was a very emotional ceremony, you could tell how much it meant to them and how seriously they both took it. Shannon’s twenty and leaving her family to go across the country and Kon is now the spiritual leader of a home.

This is classic Konrad, just classic. His brother is notorious for clinking the glasses with spoons at weddings, and I didn’t know what Kon would do. I had just told Merry that it would be interesting to see what happened. Shortly thereafter glasses started ringing. Sure enough, Kon and Shannon stand up, he looks into her eyes, takes her hand, and kisses it!

After the wedding we played volleyball. After that, I went over to where the Good’s and Merry were staying and we watched a video of our TAPESTRY tour. And then we sang! And then we sang at Sunnyside Mennonite Church the next morning.

I loved the fellowship with everybody, seeing so many friends, talking. It was great.
