Wedded Bliss

Saturday, June 10, 2006 -- the occasion of Mark Stubblefield’s and Amy Inge’s wedding day. A day of joy, a day of gladness, a day of glorifying God and proclaiming His truth, and a day of genuine bliss for the bride, the groom, and their families and friends.

All those who attended this grand occasion were granted the rare privilege of watching the life-long uniting of a man and woman both completely committed to their Lord, to each other, and to consciously using their marriage as a tool for declaring Christ to the world. What a blessing to participate in the matrimonial ceremony of two young people who understood the principles of authority and jurisdiction, and who entered the marriage covenant without the baggage of disobedience, dishonor, and heartbreak.

Mark, Amy, and both sets of their parents are to be commended for reminding their guests what a marriage celebration should be. Not only were two individuals yoked together in marriage, but the duties and blessings of the marriage covenant were boldly set forth for the general instruction of all those in attendance. May the admonitions of that day be not lost on their hearers.

Following are some photos I took during the events of the weekend (rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day). Because I was in the wedding party, nary an actual ceremony photo did I take. However, the rest of the weekend was well-documented. Too bad most of the "good stuff" didn’t make it onto this blog. :)

Oh, 'twas good to be back with C.S. Hayden. Many thanks to Mark and Amy for getting married and thereby making possible the occasion.

What are friends for?

Snap away, my fearless friend. That man's got style.

Coincidence? I think not.

Chilly Fun.

Oo-rah, Mark!

Yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes.

Pledges of troth.

The happy couple.

Reality sets in. :)

Bon voyage, my merrily wedded friends.
