Two years ago, my niece, Megan, got married. This past January, it was my nephew Aaron’s
turn. Most couples get married in warmer
months, so when they announced their wedding date, I asked him, “Why
January?” I received a typical Aaron
answer, “We don’t like to be hot.” It’s
true – they don’t. Aaron sweats like
crazy. When he played outside as a
little boy, his thick brown hair was always soaked. So, January it was!

Their ceremony and reception were held at The Nest Event Center. Just as Megan’s wedding was held on a
beautiful summer day, Aaron’s wedding was on a beautiful winter day, complete
with a sprinkling of snow flurries. It was
a nice day for a white wedding.

Most marriage vows include the words, “for better, for worse.” Despite the joyfulness of
Aaron and Tracy’s wedding day, there was an underlying sadness. Tracy’s father, Harley Bontrager, passed away
unexpectedly at age 66 exactly one week before their wedding. My heart broke for Aaron and Tracy, and for
Tracy’s sisters and the rest of their family.
I am so proud of how they handled themselves. They took the worst thing that could have
happened, leaned on each other, and created a special day.
I am so happy for the sweethearts, and wish them God’s
blessing on their marriage. Cheers to
Mr. and Mrs. Godby!
