Renda,

Talking about making beautiful memories!!:happydance :happydance

What a lovely girl! What a handsome sweet-looking son you have.

May God's blessings rest on them as they began their lives together,

in Jesus Name!

We have six (three of each) adult children, who are married to their

original spouses. The youngest married ten years, the oldest married

25 yrs. The others, 13 yrs, 15 yrs, 18 yrs. and 19 yrs. These unions

have given my husband and I nineteen beautiful grandchildren, the

oldest 23, the youngest 1. 14 g-sons, and 5 g-daughters. All are SO

very special. We are there for wisdom and advice, IF they ask! We walk

before them as examples who they can follow until they learn how to walk

with God on their own. The ones we followed have gone out of sight. We

now are in the "lead" position. What an awesome responsibility!! But we have

learned to follow after the GOD of those who went before us!!

Someone is going to influence them! It might as well be us!!

As each of our children married, we received their choice as our choice.

We never think of them as our son and his wife, or our daughter and her

husband. we think of each couple as adults, who we will respect as having

their own family now. They will replace us when we are gone to keep the

family of God growing and continuing in this world. May all who come behind

us find us faithful!

Blessings,

Falla39

[RevDWW]

Thad,
You know as well as we all know that just because one attends a UPCI church does not mean that one lines up to the acceptable platform standard, nor do all UPCI churches hold the same level of dress standard that other UPCI churches do.

You know Renda and how she believes...why do you doubt it?:grampa

I never doubted that part. what made YOU think that when I never stated such. I know that Renda does not believe in any Rules. I see now that she took it that I meant Dresscode but I meant only that she is going to a UPC church.

All that said, not even having to read into what you might have said, you made it pretty clear what you did say~

Simple English here ~

"SHE DOES NOT LOOK UPC DUE TO HER OUTWARD DRESS, SO SHE CAN'T POSSIBLE BE SAVED, SO SHE CAN'T BE CHRISTIAN THEN, NOR DOES SHE HOLD OUR FAITH, THE ONLY TRUE FAITH ( UPC) ~ Bahhhhh......:ignore

[Rhoni]

I never doubted that part. what made YOU think that when I never stated such. I know that Renda does not believe in any Rules. I see now that she took it that I meant Dresscode but I meant only that she is going to a UPC church.

Cool beans!! What a happy time ...

[Blubayou]

What a neat thing to highlight in the newspaper! When a daughter of a friend of mine got engaged, it just so happened that the bride and groom to be went to Sunday School together and they acted out the wedding as bride and groom where Jesus turned the water into wine in their 5 year old SS class. Their former SS school teacher sent the story into Paul Harvey. He featured their story on the radio. They used the taped radio story with pictures as part of their wedding.

Well, the wedding is three weeks from tonight!

I just found out today that my former husband wants to bring someone that's become very important in his life to introduce her to the family. He asked our son today if he could bring her - - he hasn't answered him yet.

Divorce stinks.

Renda,

Just hold your head up high and be your bright and happy self. Weddings, birth of grandbabies, and holidays have a whole different flavor after divorce. This I cannot deny. But God's grace is sufficient.

Be Blessed, Rhoni

Renda,

Just hold your head up high and be your bright and happy self. Weddings, birth of grandbabies, and holidays have a whole different flavor after divorce. This I cannot deny. But God's grace is sufficient.

Be Blessed, Rhoni

I completely plan on it!

Renda, I just had a chance to look at the pictures. They are awesome. She is a beautiful girl and your son, Lord I can't believe that is the same little boy I remember.

[rgcraig]

Since you guys aren't around and won't show my son the pictures - - here are a few of her bridal portraits she took this weekend. The pictures were taken in our historic town square.

OH Renda,

I have been cleaning house and crying for over 30 minutes...my sister made a CD of all the times we had growing up and the passion and the idealism of youth - where did it all go? We are our parents.

Have a blessed day, Rhonda

As a wedding gift to my son, his bride surprised him at the end of the ceremony by having a sextet from G.E. Patterson's church sing a medley of gospel songs - they blew the place away!!! She wanted to surprise me too - she said when her and my son started dating that when she would come our house I would always have awesome, soulful gospel music playing and she had never heard anything like it and she loved it!

This picture above is them singing again at the outdoor's reception! Here they are singing - "Source of Strength" It was beautiful!!!!

[chosenbyone]

Renda,

The pictures you posted were all very nice and you looked very pretty in your new dress. Though it may have been difficult to see your son grow up and marry, just think about how much fun you'll have with your grandkids!

[Rhoni]

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f108/rgcraig/wedding3.jpg

Beautiful pictures Renda. Chosen is very correct...being a grandmother is wonderful. I have to admit; it was much more difficult for me to see my son get married than my daughter. I feel as if I have lost my son. The wedding is only the beginning. You do have a beautiful family.

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

Renda,

Thank you CB1.

My son escourted me down the aisle so that was a special moment and I'm sure I was biting my bottom lip to keep from crying!! I did cry a bit, but I didn't boohoo......when saying their vows they both cried and I've NEVER seen a couple look each other in the eyes so deeply - - it was just too hard not to cry!

I felt great in my 'mother of groom' dress - - I switched jackets, so it's different a bit from the original picture I posted when I bought it - - this one was prettier from the back - - lol!

[Buffy]

Renda, The pictures are beautiful! I didn't get a chance to talk to your Dad tonight, so I couldn't wait to get on the forum to see if you had posted pictures! The wedding looked perfect!

[Elizabeth]

Great pictures what a beautiful wedding! -They are a gorgeous couple. Thanks for sharing Renda!!!

[rgcraig]

Thanks all - it was a beautiful and perfect wedding!

[Sherri]

Oh, Renda, that was just gorgeous! You looked so pretty. What a great surprise about the sextet!

[Dora]

RENDA! Thank you so much for posting these pics of your son's wedding.

So happy for them. What a romantic couple...just BEAUTIFUL!

How thoughtful of your new DIL to have the gospel group sing for you and your son! WOW! Awesome!

Congratulations! You look lovely in your MOTG dress.

Hugs!

Dora

[rgcraig]

Beautiful pictures, Renda. They make a nice looking couple.

Those aren't the good pics, of course - just what I look from way back.

I've done all my running around taking care of things and now I'm ready to sit down and rest a bit before having to go back to work tomorrow!!!

Renda,

The pictures are gorgeous. That was so sweet of your DIL to have the singers come as a surprise. It was very thoughtful.

[tamor]

The pictures are beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen that color green used in a wedding. I love it.

And I bet the reception music was amazing. What a treat!

Beautiful wedding pics and Renda, the dress looks beautiful on you! :)

Thanks! I'm so pleased with the pics -- now I just have to decide which ones to buy!!!! Oh my!

[Ron]

Renda they are good pics. I thought it was interesting the pic of you looking over your right shoulder to your son and if we could read your mind it would probably be, "do you realize what you are getting into?"
As any married person would know, marriage & parenting isn't for cowards.

You have trained him well & I am sure their marriage will be a success!

I still like that pic!:hypercoffee

LOL! I've had several to comment on that picture. I had actually just told him to take a deep breathe - it was right before he walked me down the aisle - - and the whole reality of it was hitting both of us!

[Blubayou]

The pictures are lovely- The photographer had a real good eye and took some great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

[Subdued]

It is really pretty! I hope they had a blast and come home safe.

[rgcraig]

They had a WONDERFUL trip! Fun stories and no sunburn or illness!

They came back here to look at their wedding pictures online and have a bowl of chili before heading to their house as hubby and wife!


They said they had so much to do tomorrow - thinking they have to move all her clothes, zillion pairs of shoes and presents, etc.

They will be surprised when they get there and realize it's already done for them!!!!
