A tribute

The above photo was taken at a wedding we were blessed to attend recently. It includes the bride's parents, and most of her siblings, their spouses, nieces and nephews. They are all part of the Bradrick family. It is such a joy for us to witness this milestone in Amy's life. We have a special place in our heart for the Bradrick family, because the family you see in us today is due, in part, to the Bradricks.

We get a lot of compliments about our family, how we get along, how we play music together, etc. I'm here to tell you that we could never be who we are without the grace of God and God's inspired Word. God has many ways of teaching His children and one thing He used with us was the Bradrick family. They helped give us a vision as to what a family could be. They loved to sing together. They loved to be together. And they could articulate every day tips and details on how to "run" a large family. We thank God for the Bradricks. And we thank God for bringing Amy Ellen a wonderful husband.
Here are the "roses" ready for the celebration.


The funnest event in the ceremony was when the groom galloped in on horseback to rousing bagpipe music!

J.R. and Amy Ellen vowing their covenant of marriage "til death do us part".

Congratulations you two!
