A wedding ...

Today my husband Jim performed the wedding ceremony for his Little Brother. A new chapter as husband and wife begins for 21-year-old Rocky and his bride, Christina. Jim helped Rocky grow up; he became Rocky's Big Brother when Rocky was 12-1/2 and when their weekly visits with each other ended 5-1/2 years later, they maintained they would remain friends and they'd always be lifelong brothers in Christ. The wedding was very nice. Just a handful of friends and relatives gathered for the 6 p.m. ceremony at the gazebo at Ellis Park in Cedar Rapids. Pictures were taken with the Cedar River in the background, the sun still bright and glowing. The weather was cool but pleasant. We wish them happiness and many blessings.
