The groomsmen, bridesmaids, groom, and minister start at the front of church, and the processional includes a page boy (ringbearer), flower girl(s), and bride.
(There were supposed to be two flower girls. That little blond one
in her friend's arms on the side of the picture didn't walk down the aisle!)
The wedding text was part of I Peter 3:7, which says that husbands and wives are "heirs together of the grace of life."
The recessional is followed by the bride and groom coming back down the aisle together. The conclusion of the marriage form is read, and the couple says some thank yous. At this wedding some children from church, and then the youth of CERC, sang special numbers as well.
When the wedding is finished, everyone stays in the sanctuary for picture-taking with the couple. Photos on Saturday began with the groom's family, then the bride's family, then our congregation, and went on to include wedding guests from other churches, co-workers, etc.
Members and visitors of CERC who attended the wedding
There was a light lunch at church after the wedding, and time for photo booth fun.
Matt and Sarah Kortus from Michigan had arrived in Singapore early that morning.
Later in the day there is a big dinner for many of the wedding guests. Joshua and Beverly's dinner was held at the beautiful Raffles Marina.
The bridge on the right at the back of the picture connects Singapore and Malaysia.
The couple came in on a boat at sunset--beautiful!
Theirs is the boat coming toward us by the lighthouse.

We as a congregation were happy to celebrate with Joshua and Beverly and pray God's blessing on their marriage.
