Saturday February 5, 2005 has to have been the most beautiful day all winter.  The sun was shining and the temperature was comfortable in the 30s Fahrenheit.  Family and friends came from as far as Colombia and Costa Rica � along with Chicago and L.A. , of course � to celebrate this special day with us, and about one hundred and forty guests were in attendance for the candle lit service at Albion Hills Bible Church at dusk.  Standing with us in front of the fireplace of our lovely little country church, our pastor, John Beerley, offered a strong challenge on biblical marriage and the picture it paints to the world of Christ�s love for His church.  (And to those who were wondering, our first kiss was well worth the wait!)
Our Fairytale Wedding
The festivities continued at Glen Eagle Golf Course, where everyone enjoyed a delicious prime rib dinner.  Highlights of the evening include the father-daughter dance, the first dance, and especially the speech by the best man.  A father of four daughters under the age of five, Tim comforted Juan Guillermo (the father of the bride) with the promise that he could vouch for Dan�s character, and that while it broke his heart to imagine ever having to give one of his daughters away, he would feel safe giving her away to a man like Dan.  Cake, coffee, and a bouquet toss (which the lovely maid of honour, Grace Chan, caught), closed the evening celebration, as we bid farewell to our guests and headed for our new home, a 150 year old restored log cabin where we would be spending our first night together.
