Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Kircher

They're married!

And my favorite photo of the day :)

We were standing together, getting ready to line up for going into the sanctuary. We were also joking 

because right behind us was an Exit door--'There's still time!!'. I'm so grateful that this moment was captured! [Photo Credit: Jonathan Parker]

God is so incredibly sweet! After years of praying for Jessie and her future husband (unknown most of the time), I had the privilege of standing beside Jessie as she promised to serve God alongside Andrew. It was probably one of the sweetest, most relaxing weddings I've ever been to--which seems hard to believe because of how busy we were! God just brought everything together in a special way, even providing small moments (like the one above) where Jessie and I could have "little pep talks" ;). The church family that Jessie and Andrew have are SUCH a gift from God! They did SO many things, including taking care of even the smallest details-their youth group even made all of the sandwiches. I was blessed by the Church family's serving and humbly honored to work alongside all of them.

 The morning of, Jessie and I had a fun, laid back drive to get her hair done. Then as soon as we hit the doors of the church (figuratively, that is), we were "GO" mode. But I cherish every single moment of helping my childhood friend--from repining her hair, helping her zip up her dress, arranging her train, twitching jokingly to make her laugh, singing "going to the chapel" with her from our Wedding Party table, tearing up as I made my very first toast, laughing because of how good God is, and then waving goodbye as they headed out together.

I got to say goodbye to Jessica Lee Bannan on Saturday.

 But. I think Jessica Lee Kircher and I will get along JUST fine. :)
