Doyle Officiates a Wedding 08.24.24

With the passing of our pastor, Doyle and I have had increased responsibilities with the church.  Well, Doyle more so than me. He is handling the day to day operations of the church. The congregation is being cared for by the Elders (and wives) and pastor's wife Karen. 

We have a couple in our church that Doyle and I had been working with for a couple of years. After seven

years he finally asked her to marry him! They asked Doyle to officiate. This was Doyle's first wedding to officiate and he did a great job!

This is the view from the spot where the wedding was held. It overlooks the Brazos River on private property that are clients of the bride (she is a massage therapist).

As you can see the wedding took place farther back to be in the shade. The temperature that day was 101 with heat index of 108! The shad was extremely helpful!

Meagon is the young woman that I had been mentoring and went with us to the church conference at Bethel in Redding, California. She is like a daughter to us.

I have known Shane since he was a child. He and Vanessa grew up together in church and at the Christian School she went to through the  8th grade. We have been friends with his parents for decades. It was his dad that passed away from cancer a year ago 10 days before my Dad. He was an Elder at our church.

In this picture Meagon had given Doyle a beautiful card with money as a thank you for officiating the wedding.

Waiting for the bride.

We are so happy for them and happy to be part of their journey!

Have a good one!
