The Wedding

Matt and Candyce's wedding was held at St. Timothy's church, where the Lifeteen Mass originated. Behind the altar at this influential church is a large mural that represents the mass itself, where all of the Saints and Angels join us during the celebration of Jesus in the Eucharist. It was awe-inspiring artwork that really brought home what we take for granted every Sunday.

The ceremony itself was truly blessed. There were five priests in attendance (two for Candyce, two for Matt and the pastor of St. Timothy's)... I have never seen so many priests at a wedding before :) Emotions ran high during the wedding and we felt so honored to have been there. Matt Maher lead the touching music and the various other Lifeteen personalities, including Mark Hart who leads a teen bible study through Lifeteen called T3, was one of the readers as well.

We had such a wonderful time and, after the celebration, DC and Gabe were finally able to meet Matt M in person. We listen to his music everyday and they know most of his songs by heart. It was a big thrill to get to finally see him in person. He is truly a gift and a humble, warm gentleman.

After the wedding we hung around while the pictures were taken, joking and laughing with the family and then headed over to the reception...

The stunning, immense mural behind the altar.

We clean up real gooood.
