Ken has had the opportunity to perform several marriage/ sealings, including four from our ward. He married this precious couple this month.
I wanted to post about it because of the connections we have with them and their family.
- Ken's father and the bride's great-grandfather served in a stake presidency together many years ago.
- The bride's grandmother and Ken went to high school together in Hurricane. She and their family moved into our ward a few years after we did We raised our families together..
- So the bride's mom grew up in this ward. She was an impressive, sweet girl. She grew up and went on a mission speaking ASL. She came home, married, and lived out of state while they had their children.
- Later, she and her family moved here and bought a home in this ward, so the bride grew up here, too.
- The bride was one of my Mia Maids.
- Ken and the bride's father served in an elders quorum presidency together and we have been close.
- The groom is our stake president's son.
- The groom's father worked for Ken years ago.
Ken did a beautiful job in the sealing. It was a very special experience. There was such a strong spirit there. We love these people.
Sometimes family extends beyond blood relatives.
