A Groomless Wedding

We attended a wedding without a groom.    Well, there was a groom but he was in China because his Visa didn't arrive in time.    The bride grew up in GF in our church and the groom came to GF to study at the University.    They meet through some mutual friends in GF.    The bride has been living in China for 15 years.    This picture shows a friend holding up an iPad where the groom was attending the wedding via FaceTime.    GF Herald reporter wrote this....http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/4133568-marilyn-hagerty-technology-connects-groom-china-wedding-grand-forks      
The bride's father walked her down the aisle and stood with her during the ceremony.   Since they were already married in China they did not repeat vows but had a few words they each said to each other.   It was a very touching ceremony and fun to be part of such an unique wedding.

A Summer Evening Drive

A couple nights ago our neighbor (Sandra) came knocking on our door and asked if we'd like to go out for a ride in "The Chevy"...
