Today's Christian, May/June 1999
My great-granddaughter Melissa, 6, was excited about being at her first wedding. When the pastor, the groom, and the best man took their places, she couldn't take her eyes off of them.
At the organ's cue, I directed her attention to the back of the church. Glancing at the front again and then at the bride, Melissa whispered, "Grandma, does she get to take her pick?"

As a wedding gift for her son Eric, our pastor decided to make a quilt using the appropriate Double Wedding Ring pattern. But, Rev. Diana Hill explained to the congregation, she had to be careful not to get the pattern confused with an almost identical one under a different name—Crown of Thorns.

After deciding on an outdoor wedding, I tried to cut costs by ordering a plastic runner instead of cloth.
But on the long-awaited day, it didn't take long to understand "You get what you pay for."
With the wedding march playing, I lurched toward my beloved, the heels of my shoes piercing the runner and dragging it with every step. When I reached the altar, my maid of honor helped me out of my high heels. I started married life a little mortified but definitely wiser.

When young children are part of a wedding party, you never know what to expect. At a wedding I attended, all eyes were on the blonde-haired, blue-eyed ring bearer.
He navigated the aisle just fine, but gave a big yawn when he arrived at the front. As soon as the opening prayer ended, everyone noticed the boy fast asleep on the ring pillow. When he started sucking his thumb and snoring, the entire crowd—wedding party included—had a good laugh.
