Wedding: Reception

The reception was held at the 1st Reformed Church in Cedar Grove--it was a beautiful room and lots of fun was had by all.  The food was delicious, skits were funny, the MCs' and the toasts given were classy and heartfelt.  I wish I had more of a variety of pics, like the cake cutting, decorations, more guest pics, but again, I'll blame the chaos that our 8 children under 6 bring to an event.  :)  

However, most importantly, the wedding and reception showed that is a marriage beginning with God at the center,  as the verse Karl & Katie selected states, they will strive together to, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  I Thessalonians 5:16-18.  Congrats Karl & Katie Gesch!

Wedding: before ceremony and ceremony

There aren't tons of these.... grr... it just got to be too busy so here are the few that we captured.  I've heard there are a few other photographers that got some good ones of the kids that I can post someday.  I know the professional pictures of Karl and Katie turned out beautifully--when I buy a few I can maybe post them.  It was a beautiful ceremony and we again are thrilled to be adding Katie to our collection of sisters.  :)
