Who knew that the day my son stepped off the plane for a two week leave home from Baghdad Iraq, that he would find the Princess of his dreams and I would have a day to plan a wedding. Fairy Tales come true, all the time, you just have to know where and how to make them happen and by God's grace, they will be blessed.

Fairy Tales are more than just stories, they are made of little girls dreams and of little boys goals. Fight the dragon, save the Princess, watch for the knight in shining armour, see him ride the white stallion. Life can be a Fairy Tale come true, if we seek to serve the Master of all creation and learn to submit to His Will in our lives. All of life is a never ending story of who and what we are, of who and what we will become and of who and what we serve. Please serve the Lord today, in doing so, you learn to serve others. By accepting Jesus Christ into your heart, you learn to be a "servant of all" and Fairy Tales will come true, just believe.
What a happy look, the joy and love in this precious little face was worth more than you can imagine.
Such a beautiful honor to be asked to be the minister to marry one of your own children, but what an emotional thing too. They were composed, I think because they knew if they weren't their minister would fall apart.... It was loverly!
Praise the Lord for He is worthy to be praised and in that moment when you are making a vow before Him to honor and love another, till death do you part, He is there.....
Being Goofy, this was a hard thing to do, trying to not fall apart as my son became a husband and I pronounced them "Man and Wife".....
The Brides mom and dad were very supportive of the fact that their daughter was marrying a Military man. The Bride's dad is former military himself and he understood that when you are in war time and you meet the love of your life, it doesn't matter how quickly you tie the knot of matrimony.
Mission accomplished, another Fairy Tale wedding that came to pass on the plain's of the Owens Valley, where knights on horse and mule back still roam the open range and six guns have replaced sabres to fight off coyotes instead of cattle theives.... Twas a day to remember.
I am proud of my son and I am thankful we had these two weeks with him home from Iraq. In my heart, I was already feeling the worry and fear of him heading back to fight to secure freedom for a people, I will never meet. May God protect our young men and women of the United States Military and that of our Allies.
