Ready for the Big Day

Yesterday: Happy Birthday, Eric!
Eric and his wife, Gina, are expecting their second child any day now. Prayers for a smooth delivery are in order.

Things continue to be exciting here in Oregon. The rehearsal was at 10 a.m. yesterday morning, and a meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory followed. The wedding is at the Willamette Valley Vineyards near Salem. The vineyard is on a hill (like I'm guessing most are), so there's a great view, which I have already captured on digital film. It's a beautiful place to get married -- and that explains why there were two other weddings going on yesterday after the rehearsal.

The dinner (or would you call it lunch?) was also very nice. Family and friends shared stories about Amanda and Dave -- everything from when they met to when Dave proposed. The parents had plenty to tell about their childhood years, which was really cute. After the meal, we gathered around them and prayed for their future together. This was something I had never experienced at a rehearsal dinner before, but I think it really prepared us for the joy and excitement that today's wedding will bring.

More fun stories from our trip when I have the chance to write about 'em.
