She is the daughter of my younger brother, Max, and his wife, Darlene. Most of our family was present to celebrate God's blessings of their lives. My father performed the wedding. Mom and Dad know a little about marriage as they celebrate their 68th anniversary this year. Wow! That is a long time to be married.
Rodney is in the Navy, and so was Dad when he and Mom married. Dad said that he had to get a 3 day pass when they said "I Do". I don't know if Rodney had to take leave or not.
Jesus loved weddings. He performed His first miracle of turning water into wine in Cana of Galilee. The guests said His wine was the best. I bet everyone was happy with that.
I have performed countless weddings in these 40 years of ministry. Some have been beach ceremonies and others by outdoor pools but most have been church weddings. The setting is not so important as the vows and the commitment to keep the vows. Every couple has to work at having a good marriage. That is a must.
Mark Gungor said "Don't marry, be happy". What did he mean?
He meant that if you marry to "get happy" then your kidding yourself. Get happy and then marry if you choose, but don't marry thinking that will all of a sudden make you happy. It won't happen.
Amber and Rodney looked happy on their wedding day. I pray God blesses them and gives them a long happy marriage.
