Although we really had no idea how it would work out, Jim and I decided to get married during our regular Sunday service. We attend IAC (International Anglican Church) that meets in Shove Chapel on the Colorado College campus. This church has been a place of spiritual growth and healing for both of us. We wanted our wedding ceremony to be non-traditional but yet to really focus on the sacrament of marriage. We often integrate dedications and community prayer times into the regular weekly liturgy and asked our pastor his thoughts on integrating the wedding liturgy into the service. Both Ken and his wife Sallie were very open to the idea and helped us organize a beautiful service - full of worship, good teaching and community participation. I wouldn't have done a thing differently! It was truly a wonderful service!
