James & Anna's Wedding!!

James & Anna are married. sigh. We were happy to be able to meet (and approve of!) James this summer when we were back in PA to visit. It was obvious that he had found his way into Anna's heart. She absolutely glowed when he was around! We are so happy for him and how God has blessed her with such a great guy! She is such an intelligent and competent and beautiful woman...he is super-lucky to have her!

Although we were in PA over the exciting time that they got engaged, we were not able to get back for their wedding. However, they Skyped us in for it! We got front row seats!! The wedding started at 3AM here in Cambodia, so thankfully they couldn't see us, but we could see and hear everything! What a treat! THANK YOU, Anna, for making this possible for us to join you in that way!!

Here are a few photos we took from our perspective at the wedding! :) 

The beautiful Matron of Honor: Maria



 Andy and Cossette!

Jason and Brooklyn!

Enjoying a time of worship

Dad Martin gave an encouraging and challenging message

 Saying their vows which, by the way, they memorized. Bravo!



 Praying together, signing the register, and taking communion together

 Yes, they even sang a song! 
Oh my goodness, was I ever getting gushy and weepy at this stage!
From This Moment has a whole new meaning for me... it was beautiful.



Introducing Mr. & Mrs. James Snader!!! YAY!!!!

Miriam totally rocked that bridesmaid dress! GORGEOUS pregnant lady!!! 
Can't wait to meet my nephew!! :D

Isn't the stage so pretty?

I know it wasn't the same as being there, but it was definitely close!!! 
They are now off to Jamaica for their honeymoon...the place where it all began for them. 
SO happy for them, and happy for us that we get another awesome BIL in the family! Welcome, James!

Love you guys and wish God's BLESSING on you as you begin this wonderful and exciting new stage of life together! xoxo

  1. THIS is awesome. you got a better view of the ceremony that I did. ha! so, so glad that it worked out for you guys to watch. I wasn't sure during the wedding if it was working or not. Just a little before it was supposed to start, James was stressing out because you guys weren't answering the phone... and then i was busy getting my kids ready to walk down the isle and wasn't sure if you guys ever answered or not. so glad it all worked out!!!

  2. Yeah, the first time they tried to connect we weren't at the computer yet. I'm pretty sure we were still trying to get our heads off the pillow. Who gets married at 3 AM anyway??? :D j/k
