On Friday dad joined Mandy and Jim as they celebrated their wedding day.  Mom and dad both think it is wonderful that Mandy and Jim have a strong connection to their faith.  It is sure to strengthen the bonds of their marriage!

The bride got ready at Saddlebrook Resort and dad loved Mandy’s dress, shoes, and her hair accessory.  She looked unique and classic at the same time.

The ceremony took place at St. Leo Abbey.  Dad loved this church and the whole area around it.  He wants our family to go to Mass there one Sunday.

Lange Farm is one of dad’s very favorite locations and he was happy to be back there for the couple’s second ceremony and reception.  The second ceremony, held after dark on the lawn,was for more friends and family to attend and witness the couple’s vows.  Doug Decker from Grant Hemond was the couple’s DJ and did a great job as usual.  Guests who wanted to enjoy the beautiful October weather were able to go outside to a bonfire to roast marshmallows and make smores while listening to a guitarist play music.

Congratulations Mandy and Jim!  We wish you the very best!
