Congrats, many blessing to the couple :-)
Congratulations! May they have a long, blessed life in our Lord!
Congratulations!! I was wondering why your blog had been so quiet. Now I know. :) My girls and I will enjoy joining you in celebrating this afternoon. God Bless!!!
Congrats! What a wonderful day for everyone! I pray the wedding goes smoothly and that God would be glorified!
Congratulations Stacy! And congratulations to Tiffany and Ben. I will be praying for you all today.
Congratulations!
I have been following plans over at Tiffany's blog.
Thank you for the chance to join you – I hope I can catch it later!
Oh, how wonderful! God bless the new couple to be!
What a thrill to be able to watch the wedding! Loved that!
I can only imagine the bittersweet feelings you must be having. When my firstborn announced: When the baby's 10, I'll be 20!, I said: We're not going to talk about that. lol
Congratulations!! I just popped over to read your blog and caught the tail end of the ceremony.

It was beautiful and God glorifying! Thank you for sharing with us! Our daughters loved watching it! So much better than fairy tales!!! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for streaming the wedding. I really enjoyed watching it, actually, I was in tears!
It was so inspiring to see other young couples that saved their kiss for marriage.
God bless!

What a lovely ceremony. Thank you for sharing it with your blog readers. My wishes that Ben and Tiffany have a blessed life together.
My computer decided to become momentarily possessed and click dislike without my permission. But I didnt mean it!
Congrats!!!
Lovely–congratulations to the newlyweds and both families! Your daughter's dress was stunning–any details you might be willing to post (fabric? pattern? tucks and lace?)?
I cried tears of joy for them, seeing the kiss that was worth waiting for! It brought back beautiful memories of my own wedding day to my loving husband. He was 31 and I was 25, but we made a commitment to God and each other that we would wait until our wedding day to kiss one another.
It was well worth the wait – and I send my prayers to Tiffany and Ben. May God bless them with so many lovely years together serving God as one.
What a beautiful ceremony – and I loved the music too!

I accidently hit "dislike"… BUT I like VERY MUCH!!!
Congratulations to all of you.
Stacy,
I just finished watching the beautiful wedding ceremony of your daughter Tiffany to Ben. Thank you for sharing this special moment with your blog friends. This ceremony truly touched my heart in many ways. I pray that the Lord will truly bless Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Hector in their new life together as husband and wife.

Many blessings bestowed on Tiffany and Benjamin. May they have a life filled with love,joy and peace.

Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful ceremony with us. I recently shared a beautiful story of the courtship of a very godly young man and woman with my sister-in-law. They were both committed to waiting on God and the way God brought it all together, was amazing. My sister-in-law who is is very brazen and encourages promicuity in her own children, said it was the most beautiful story she'd ever heard. Stories and ceremonies like my friend's and your daughter's are not only beautiful and romantic, they're a testimony of the "abundant life in Christ" that God truly wants us to have if we do it His way. When I watched my friend's ceremony, as the pastor was saying "You may now kiss your bride," and looked over at her parents, I wondered how many parents have the privilege of saying they witnessed their daughter's or son's first kiss. First kisses are usually unromantic and hidden and many times come after a "dare." But with people who choose to wait on God, there are truly fireworks (flashing cameras) and a big party (the reception) to celebrate it! After a lifetime of witnessing all of your children's "firsts," what a beautiful ending/beginning to an old/new season in your child's life!
Our daughter is getting married at the end of the month and I am so happy to say they did it right. Respect for each other and respect for God means the wedding night and the entire relationship gets to start off with God's blessings. So praise God for another young couple dedicated to God!
We visited during the Worldview conference and noticed Tiffany among the young ladies for her hair and apparent musical expertise. I thought how many of these families are so blessed with Godly children and how badly this country and world need them to marry and have children and teach them and bring others into the Kingdom of God. Turns out Tiffany and Ben had already figured that out…
Hidden kisses are generally more romantic. Jasmine Baucham even told me of couples who choose not to kiss at the wedding because they don't want their parents, cameras and countless others looking on. It's only for them, after all.
Aw… I got a little teary-eyed, and I don't even know you guys… AND I'm not even pregnant. LOL
Congrats to the sweet couple. Stacy, your testimony has touched me more than you'll probably ever know. I hope to follow your example in raising my sweet girls (now 4 years old and under.)
God bless your family.
