The Wedding...!!!

July 22, 2006
You could not have asked for a better day! It was goregous, warm, bright, and beautiful. God answered many prayers for an outdoor wedding.

It came together splendedly and moved as though one was in a dream. Almost surreal in nature, but it most definitely became reality. And this reality started early, right around 6 a.m.. Getting dressed, fixing hair, makeup, flowers, and the normal final preperations were the standard fare
for the morning.

And so thus... all the
beautiful
"things" that go along with
weddings were included...
dress and flowers...











... of course the
radiant bride!




... and we did remember the rings...




was an outdoor ceremony, with perfect weather, just the right number of guests, the bridal party - complete with bride and groom - (and yes... we both happened to be present and on-time.)

Best Man ~ Jonny
- Mark's college roommate
Maid of Honor ~ Rachel - Sarah's sister

Ben - Mark's brother
Hannah - Sarah's sister











Dustin - Mark's college roommate

Naomi - Sarah's sister

Josh - Sarah's brother
Abigail - Sarah's sister










... isn't it nice that everyone smiled?


Levi and Esther preparing the way...


... and here comes the bride...




with a special song sung by

Brittany, Andi, Rachel, and Hannah.






The challenge delivered by
Pastor Tim from our church in MN.


All in all it was a very nice ceremony, focused on God, His plan for marriage, His challenge for us to live and love as Christ exemplified. So it looked just like this...


So after all that... we couldn't forget the KISS!!!


And now we are Mr. & Mrs. Mark Hanson...


enjoying one another's company daily...
and currently, continually living...
