We're having an old fashioned church family wedding tomorrow, May 26. A daughter of our congregation is getting married at 11:00 AM. Kari Keever, the child of Eddie and Mary Keever, is marrying Miles Petersen.
We've met Miles but don't know him very well. He was apparently born in Missouri, which is some what problematic, and he spells his last name with an "e" rather than with an "o" connoting a Swedish rather than the more respectable Norwegian heritage. But we trust Kari's judgment and we are happy to welcome Miles into our family. Into the "circle of trust" so to speak...which Miles will understand.
Anyway, we're feeling a little weepy and also very happy about this truly blessed event. It is our first wedding in a long time. A beloved Child of God is embarking on a sanctified and often arduous journey, and we as a congregation will, in not just a symbolic way, travel along with Miles and Kari as they go forward.
Everyone in the congregation is invited. A reception follows in the church hall.
