The Love Nuptials






On Saturday, I officiated at the last outdoor wedding of 2006. Friday was a gorgeous warm day out in Chilliwack at Minter Gardens, where we practised walking the aisle of the canopied garden in preparation for the next day's wedding.


Saturday was not quite so beautiful. It rained in the morning and the temperature dropped by about 10 degrees, but by the time Susan and I drove the 100 or so kms to Chilliwack the sun was trying desparately to shine. The wedding was wonderful. I haven't seen so many well dressed guests at a wedding for a long time. It really was a formal and elegant affair, for my friends Carsten Love and Kacey Clarke. I got to know this very handsome couple through Carsten's brother, whom I married a couple of years ago. (Derrick and Anita became the proud parents of lovely little Tianna Faith Love a few days ago.) Carsten and Kacie started attending our church when we began counselling earlier this year.

Kacie was gorgeous in her wedding gown as she walked the several hundred feet long Garden path. They are a truly sweet and fun couple to know, and like their name, are very easy to love. The reception was held in the Crystal Dining hall at Minter Gardens. What a delightful evening we were privileged to share with the happy couple!
