Walker-Cleaveland Wedding a Success Yesterday I officiated my first wedding. It was very special for me for several reasons. First, I was honored that my dear friends Adam and Sarah asked me to participate in their most special of days. Second, I had the opportunity to co-officiate with my great friend, Mark. Third, my beautiful wife, Abby, was there to watch. A preacher at a wedding is kind of like shocks on a car. As long as everything goes along smoothly we don't ever think about them. But as soon as the ride gets bumpy, that's all one talks about. Neither Mark nor I did anything to draw attention to ourselves (in a negative way). Therefore, I proclaim the wedding a success from a logistical standpoint. The wedding ceremony and the reception went off without a hitch (although there was some last minute drama in which the limo driver took the ladies to the wrong town!). Here are some thoughts from my perspective.Mark and I went to undergrad together and became friends on one of the first days of school. After we graduated, Mark went to Columbia Theological Seminary, where he became friends with Sarah. I went to Princeton Theological Seminary, where I became friends with Adam. It was a fun rendezvous for Mark and I. We were surprised and honored when Sarah and Adam asked us to officiate together. Hopefully, we will find a way to get the homilies we preached uploaded for your listening pleasure. The wedding was beautiful and tailored especially for Adam and Sarah. Jen Lemen offered the couple a very special blessing and charge and Harp 46 played the music. I know that Mark and I had a great time working on our homilies for them. Hopefully, we will get to tag-team preach again sometime. Not that Adam, in particular, needs any more traffic over at his blog, but I'm sure the happy couple would appreciate any congratulations you might have to offer them. Peace. posted by Jake at 5/29/2006 09:38:00 PM

Hi Jake,
Congratulations. I also officiated my first wedding on Sunday, May 28th! And it had some nice emergent connections too. Hope you're well.
Jeff
it was so fun to hang out with you, jake! you give me hope for the future of the church. i hope we all get to hang out together sometime soon.
Jake, this is awesome. Your use of tag-team when refering to Mark and you is somehow justified.
