Jon & Tonya's Wedding

One of the main reasons for our trip to Indiana was to attend a wedding.  This wedding was of one of my best friend's from Nappannee Days.  She and I have had so much fun together that I knew that I couldn't miss this once in a lifetime event!  I've always been impressed with Tonya and her ability to be so independent but knew that she really wanted to find that special someone.  She has and had a WONDERFUL wedding. 

The wedding was held at a shooting club called the Back Forty - it really was.  Rick & I weren't sure we were even in the right place.  It was a crisp spring day but everything was inside so that was okay.  There weren't a lot of people there that I knew but that's okay, Rick & I enjoyed catching up with some former Lighthouse attenders. 

The ceremony was to the point but the funny thing about it was the hunting club didn't stop shooting during the ceremony.  So, when the pastor was asking who gave the bride away - we all heard the gunshots going off.  There were chuckles all over the audience - I'm sure everyone or most were thinking this is a new definition of a "shotgun" wedding.  The reception was catered by Nelson's - yummy and her cake was in the design of a sandcastle!  Which, I have to say was the MOST delicious cake that I have had at a wedding in a LONG time.

Congrats Tonya & Jon - love and miss you.  So glad that I got to be at your BIG day.
