"Directory" of wedding postings through '09

     A while back on Facebook, I read about somebody hoping to be planning a wedding soon and looking for in-expensive ideas to use. That got me to thinking about how I often use to share 'details' about weddings we had attended. I decided that I should make it easier to look those up, by making a 'Directory List' of those too ;-).

So the a. goes with the a. and the b. goes with the b., etc.. The second set shows how God took care of us through all of those things/times. We serve an amazing God!!!)
    (Marriage / life is NOT always easy - but the effort it takes to 'survive' is worth it!)
