Twenty-one years ago today, May 20, my baby boy realized a dream come true. His beautiful bride, Yvonne Nester, walked down the aisle (she was breath taking in her beautiful white wedding gown) to become his wife. I can still a see the glimmer in his eyes, the smile on his face when she entered the sanctuary. My heart was so thrilled and, at the same time, saddened because Jonathan's father, Kenneth, was absent. Of course, he was viewing it from the portals of Heaven.
The wedding and the reception was so royal. Mother, Pauline Lichtenwalter, was able to be there and was so happy for both, Jonathan and Yvonne. Yvonne had stayed with Mother for a period of time while in Parker City, IN. I cannot remember what kind of car it was that they drove away in from the reception, but it was a beautiful classic.
They spent their honeymoon in Florida. It started out wonderfully but, low and behold, a few days before returning to Indiana Jonathan became ill with Chicken Pox. Oh NO....what to do???? They did come home at the appointed time. He wore a hat or some kind of cover-up....yes, the temperature was hot and I am sure the people on the plane wondered what was his problem. Little did they know there was a possibility that it would soon be their problem too.
After 21 years, they are still in love and enjoying their three boys, Kenneth (17), Riley (15) and Jesse (9). They are a wonderful family who love the Lord and are striving to follow His guidance for their lives.
Well, I didn't get back to this post, so I will just post it now. Love you all.
