This is story of love, reunions, and redemption. Kelly + David are one of those special couples whose wedding – and marriage – conveys God’s love in an amazing and colorful way. Being in full-time ministry through the Salvation Army, their event took place at Pine Summit in Big Bear, which was very cool.
And the day started with rain. Lots of plan-dampening rain.
Part of their vision and dream for their day included vows under the trees. A dream that was quickly and dramatically fading.
And the rain continued in spades. It was one of those scenarios where you hear people say, “It would literally take a miracle to have the outdoor ceremony today.”
So we prayed for one.
Kelly was glowing. Also… the sun was threatening to come out, which seemed impossible.
But the sun did come out – just in time. And so did family they weren’t sure would make it.
With some last-minute help, the outdoor ceremony commenced.
It was so cool that her son’s were such a big part of the day.
Although beautiful, the chapel in the background would’ve paled for the ceremony in comparison to the Great Outdoors. So grateful for clear skies!
So many great folks who are like family were there. It was awesome.
Vows, commitments, promises.
Singing and sign language.
Oh yeah!
The reception was a great time with food, friends, family, and fellowship. And cupcakes.

Easily some of the best toasts we’ve ever heard.

Have you figured out Kelly’s favorite color?
Many blessings to you guys. We really appreciate you having us and wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
