“I now pronounce you husband and wife”

I never thought I’d say those words but lo and behold, this past Saturday I performed my first and best marriage ceremony to date. Adam Kim and Kimberly Brass were united on May 19 and I had the honor of performing the ceremony. I had known Kim since 2000 way back when I started campus ministry here @ Western…

It was one of the more relaxed, fun weddings I have been to. The food was marvelous (Adam’s family owns Osaka restaurant here on Northwest Rd.) and the reception was pretty cool (they had a Vegas theme) so I got to try my hand at the poker table and won the first 2 or 3 hands. After that I slowly bled my chips out until going all in with a Queen/Ace and losing to a guy with two pairs. Still I had a good time. It was a good hand to go all in with.

But most of all, it was an awesome experience to perform this ceremony. Reviewing the vows as I practiced was kind of moving experience, and I realize that now, after 5 years of marriage how much more than ever I love and respect my wife.. happy for Kim and Adam and can’t wait to see them soon and do “life together” alongside them.

Congrats to Adam and Kim!
