Actually, that’s a good thing. Where I come from the groom and his friends, as a rule, spend hundreds of dollars renting tuxedos they will wear exactly once. What pretense, and what a colossal waste of money. When Carolyn and I were married, in 1984, all the men wore suits. We were all able to wear them for years, and I still have mine. So good for you for not being extravagant and worldly in your clothing.

The outdoor pictures are keepers.

As I wrote earlier, everything that happened that day, aside from the promises themselves, are only a drop in the river of decades that stretch out before you and Rachel. May God continue to bless your lives together.

Peace.
