They came from Kansas City, Missouri, to Woodbridge, Virginia, planning to visit for a week. A month before the drive, they. decided to have their wedding at my house. They wanted to use our family pastor, Pastor Tim, to perform the service at my home. Know- ing that my Church and Pastor needed 5-6 coun- selling sessions before a wedding, I got my son to directly discuss this with Pastor Tim. They liad the conversations and agreed to conduct counsel- ling session as a threesome using Zoom. They arrived on Saturday, October 3, to stafi a wonderfirl family gathering. We all attended Church on October 4 for a distanced outdoor service. On Monday, October 5, they had their final counseling session face-to-face in the Church. The wedding was at my home on Wednes- day, October 7 on a gorgeous, bright fall day. It was conducted on my deck. tF The couple had decorated an area under my f, wisteria canopy.
