Sara & Raef, GOING OUT WITH A BANG

This past year has been a huge blessing in so many ways; having a successful career change, marrying my best friend, and also being able to bring my gifts to wedding ceremonies of so many people whom I genuinely love!  Sara and Raef’s wedding was an AWESOME way to end an already outstanding year!

I can’t tell you exactly when I met Sara, but when I did her contagious personality drew me in.  She’s funny and always has great stories and makes me laugh big, crazy, belly laughs.  She is an amazing friend.  One of the things I appreciate most is her ability to point out the work God is doing all around us, in everything.  She and Raef have had a long-time romance.  They met freshman year at IU and were acquaintances. This grew into friendship, when after graduation, they found themselves together in Thailand in ministry.  Friendship grew into love, and they quickly fell into it, which brings us to this day.  Raef, also super fun and goofy, carries sincerity and wisdom in his heart.  I know these two have an awesome future in store.

On top of all this, the day was made even more special with the opportunity to blend my musical gifts with my husband on drums and another friend on guitar.  Sara had a dream of  heading down to aisle to a song she’s know for years. I was pleased to be able to sing it as she walked on her father’s arm to Raef.  After getting settled, the couple asked that the three of us lead guests in a time of praise and worship.  A great day, indeed! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of it! I can’t wait to see all the fabulous things that are going to happen in, and because of, your marriage!  Below are some shots from Sara and Raef’s day from a family friend, Andrew Prinsen.
