Bussey Wedding, revisited
I’ve had a few days to let the memories of Todd and Mandy’s wedding soak into my brain. It was one of the most memorable wedding ceremonies I’ve attended (my own excluded, of course). These are the things that continue to come up:
* The junior bridesmaid coming down the aisle immediately before Mandy’s entrance. She was ringing a bell, singing, “Here comes the Bride! Here comes the Bride! Here comes the Bride!” all the way down the aisle.
* The 6-page program handed out to each guest. Not only did it include the Order of Service, but interlinear notes, explaining who people were and why they were important to the happy couple.
* The tag-team officiating of the ceremony. So many ministers have been involved in Todd’s life, including the huge staff at Crossroads, that I’m sure it was impossible to pick one or two to officiate the wedding. So – they had a different minister (or ministers) oversee each section of the ceremony.
* Todd implicating impropriety by saying his younger brother looked remarkably like the milkman.
* The entire Crossroads choir performing the pre-service music.
* This quote from one of the Groomsmen at the reception: “I met Todd on August 18, 1980, when we both entered Kentucky Christian College as freshmen. Ironically, on that same date, Mandy received her first tricycle.” There’s something like a 15 year age difference between the two.
Yet again, may God bless the Bussey family!
