clancy wedding

This post has been hard to write. Even now I'm having trouble finding words to express how much joy and excitement we feel for our friend, Mark. As of Saturday, he's a married man. We've been to a lot of really wonderful weddings. But this one was extra special for us. We've known Mark for awhile and we've witnessed how much he has sacrificed to do God's will and to bring Christ's love to others. For a long time we've wanted him to find someone that can partner with him, stand by him, encourage, and love him. He's found the perfect girl and we couldn't be more thrilled for him. We hardly knew his bride, Kami, but we knew that if Mark picked her she had to be a gem. And she is.

Some of my favorite memories from the weekend, in no particular order...

Slow dancing in Jeff's arms.

Hearing Jeff laugh with his friends. He's never louder than when he's with these guys.

Doing the Boot Scootin' Boogie line dance with Teresa.

Seeing friends we haven't seen in awhile.

Realizing I'm way too comfortable with the Smith's when I started putting on deodorant in front of them.

Meeting Kami. I hope I get a chance to know her even better. I think we could be good friends.

Getting dressed up for Jeff and seeing him in his suit.

Seeing Jeff with Mrs. Clancy- he brought her coffee, sat with his arm around her many times that weekend and danced with her.

Seeing these two wonderful people and seeing the love they have for their son...

Watching our crazy guys jump into freezing water- just to be good friends and keep their honor. ;)

Seeing Mark overflow with gushy happiness. Seriously, I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face.

Watching our guys sing to Mark and Kami and watching them all try to keep it together.

Learning Polka style dancing with Jeff. Who would have thought, but he loved it!
