Ellen and Daniel's Wedding Photos

Here are the promised pictures taken by Bob Mainhardt. I'm warning you, there are quite a few, 40 to be exact.

Chet singing and playing the piano, just like home


Chris, Arne, and Daniel


Joey and me


Owen and Maria


Josiah and Lisa


Keith and Ellen


A final kiss


Mother emotions


Young hands together


Old hands together


The Ceremony


Ellen and Daniel wrote their own vows, and read them to one another. They later signed the hand written documents and presented them to each other.



A foot washing ceremony was a beautiful representation of the servant spirit that the husband and wife should have for each other.





The kiss

In honor of Gabe, who was 250 miles away in the hospital, we all held up three fingers the way he does it.

Thank you SO much! What a beautiful wedding! It just goes to show that you don't have to show off skin to have a lovely wedding party. ;) The dress is simply stunning.

Getting to know the Klevens family at camp was a real treat. A lovely wedding full of lovely people.
