Beautiful bride! Gorgeous wedding. So happy for your family. Such a touching way to include Fred, I am sure he was watching from heaven! Thank you! Also she had these charms made on Etsy, she attached them to her bouquet. They are made from his handwriting. One day when she was about 10, she was mad at him about something. Nobody remembers why. This was not typical for him, but that day he gave her flowers and wrote her an apology note. That’s what this is from. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/9QpVGXHM/B9-DCD1-E2-13-CA-4978-8202-31-E9-DDE54-CDD.jpg) What a treasure for her to have!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. If anyone is interested, here is my speech. The audio is not super clear. Let me know if you want me to share the text.(text added down thread) This was quite a challenge. My objectives were to bless Caitlin and Isaac, honor God, and remember Fred in a way that didn’t make everyone miserable. I ended up giving them some advice, too. I think I did a pretty decent job of bringing balance, I tried to follow up serious things with something funny. They seemed receptive and people laughed when they were supposed to, so 👍. youtu.be/1dKDCJT10kY

jenjie. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm interested but am having a lot of trouble making out the audio. Would love to read the text. <3 Thanks flanz 😊 It’s my joy and privilege to welcome you as we celebrate God’s goodness to the M and K families. As Caitlin and Isaac begin their lives together, I believe I speak on behalf of her dad, as well as Isaac’s parents, when I say, “This is the Lord’s doing, it is marvelous in our eyes!” Whether you’ve known Caitlin or Isaac since they were born, for a short while, or somewhere in between… each of you is here today because you’ve had a part in shaping their story. Whether you’ve supported them, invested in them, helped them grow, or simply loved them well, thank you for making a difference in their lives. Isaac, now that you’ve signed on the dotted line, I trust you read the fine print. No returns, refunds, no backsies. Because you and Caitlin may be perfect for each other, but that doesn’t mean she’s perfect. Sure, she’s got a sharp mind. She gets that from her dad. And she’s steady like Freddie. Sure, she has a beautiful voice and a natural gift for performing. She gets that from God. Sure, everything seems to come easy for her. But she still puts in the effort. She studied diligently to earn top marks, showed up to every practice, and rehearsed lines again and again to deliver a flawless performance. She did not get all that from me. I’m grateful for the teachers, coaches and ministry leaders who saw her potential and gave her opportunities to grow. She’s kindhearted, gentle, and has a heart to serve. That comes from Jesus. Her humility… that comes from me. But Isaac, I hope you’re bringing the common sense, because you’re going to need enough for both of you! And I’m sorry, but all the funny in our family went to the boys. When things were getting serious between Isaac and Caitlin, I knew the time was coming for him to ask me a very important question. I wondered what Fred would say. What words would he use to bless them? What exhortation or advice would he give? And at what point in their relationship would he have made a show of cleaning his service revolver? I couldn’t even pretend to imagine what he might say. His baby girl was only 15 when Jesus welcomed him home. But I knew he would approve. He would be so glad that he finally had somebody who would sit and watch sports with him! It’s not just that. Isaac is a young man of honor and integrity. He’s a hard worker. He’s a gentleman. He loves and seeks Jesus. He loves and cherishes our daughter. And he safeguards her heart. Caitlin and Isaac, you’ve both learned what committed love looks like in the face of adversity from watching your parents. For better. For worse. In sickness and in health. It doesn’t come from gifts or grand gestures or flowery words. It’s forged in the trenches of day to day life - seeking God together. Putting each other ahead of yourself. Being kind when you don’t feel like it. Giving the benefit of the doubt. Forgiving early and often. Making room for grace and growth. Committed love is not about getting it right all the time - we didn’t, and you won’t - but it’s about persevering and overcoming together. For those of us who follow Christ, there is no greater joy than to know your children walk in truth. Caitlin I’m so glad you chose Isaac. My blessing is multiplied knowing the two of you have chosen to walk in truth together as you walk side by side through life.

Aww, the little flower girls just melted my hear. And the one of the little girl looking in the mirror at herself. ![:love:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/W4b_Om5roEadLiOzGo_l.jpg) Sigh. In seeing the picture of your boys again, I have changed my mind. I think I need to refer to them as handsome men, not boys. Your daughter is so pretty and looks so incredibly happy. And you look pretty great yourself, Mom.

While not a Christian, I appreciate the heart and the beauty in your words and the sentiments you expressed so eloquently, Jenjie. I'm guessing there were a few tears shed and laughs shared. Beautifully done, Mama!

And Ds23 didn’t know what to do with himself seeing her so happy.
