The Weddings Begin

Summer at my age is always a season of weddings. There's always the trading of "How many weddings do you have this summer? How many can you go to?" and etc.

Tomorrow begins the wedding season for Jason and I, right here in our own city of Evanston, IL with this lovely couple: Hannah Dixon and Robert McConnell. They both live here in Evanston, and even though Hannah and I were never at Hillsdale at the same time, Jason and I have had the pleasure of getting to know them.

And it has been such a pleasure. Joyful, exuberant, thoughtful, inspiring  talented, godly- these are just a few of the wonderful ways to describe what I've found in these two people. Not to mention very, very funny and a love for Jonathan Edwards. (In a game once Robert named Edwards as his superhero).

It's obvious how well suited they are for each other, how they convict and urge each other towards Christ, how Robert leads and Hannah excitedly follows in their relationship. They are best friends. I am very excited to share in the witness of their Covenantal union tomorrow, and to have the blessing of living a few blocks away from them.

To Hannah and Robert: God bless you in all you do, put Him first always, and base everything in your marriage around the glory and love of Jesus Christ.
