Thad,

BTW it is L.H. Hardwick not H.L.

Yup the wedding was last Sunday afternoon. When I found out that three preachers were doing the wedding (our two former Associate Pastors, Paul Russell and Phillip Goldsberry plus current Co Pastor Dan Scott) I thought we were going to be in for a long evening.

I was pleasently surprised that the entire wedding lasted only about 30-35 minutes! Shortest wedding I have ever seen in Pentecost.

It was very classy and as usual Bro. Hardwick was serious and funny at various times. Since the wedding was just a week after we lost a young minister on our church staff in a terrible accident along with the 25 year old daughter of an elder when the preacher said "for better of for worse" Bro. Hardwick interrupted and said with a smile "It's not going to get any worse!".

The reception was a simple affair with a large cake and since there were several thousand people there they also had, of all things, Krispy Kreme donuts decoratively stacked on silver tray / stands with silver tongs to pick them up. I never actually got a piece of cake but did enjoy a donut!

Thad, I don't know about six weeks for the honeymoon. I heard a month but in any case it is a long one. I am glad Bro. Hardwick has finally, at age 75, decided to enjoy life a little while his health is still good.

After pastoring Christ Church for 55 years with much of the early years being a struggle with him working full time and pastoring it is nice to see him get to enjoy his sunset years.

Carol looked absolutely amazing - like a princess in pink! They had a flower girl, ring bearer (grandson of the Hardwicks) and three attendants each. It was a very sweet ceremony, and a huge reception. I finally got to hug Carol and Bro. H., but it took forever to get to them. I wish I had taken my camera with me!

Some people are thinking they might cut their honeymoon shorter than originally planned, just because of all the grief at Christ Church right now over the two deaths. I think six weeks was being told originally, but I don't think it was ever really that long. They are visiting Spain and some other European countries and then spending some time in Florida, from what I understood.

As much as I loved Montelle Hardwick, I'm glad to see that Bro. Hardwick and Carol are together. They are two of the finest people that I know!

I served a couple who were shopping at Blessings last week and they were so much in love! It was a 2nd marriage for each of them. Their previous spouses had both died and they met totally unplanned and unexpected when he came to fix the roof at her house.

They fell in love and got married and are so excited and it was easy to tell that they were so happy to be together.

I thought ..... "How awesome ... and what a testimony to the fact that that kind of "falling in love" thing can happen even in a couple's senior years!" because this couple had to be right around 70 I'd say.

I too am happy for Bro. Hardwick and wish the newly married couple all the best!

I forgot to add that when the groom kissed his bride it was no "platonic" kiss that you might expect from some 75 year old!!!!

Of course Pastor Hardwick does not look or act 75 in any way I know. He seems in excellent health and could pass for 55.

How long has this pastors wife been dead?
If its been a respectable length of time I say great.If it has not been I say
SHAME regardless of popular opinion.
