Last Saturday evening I had a date with my husband to his fraternity’s 20th Anniversary Banquet downtown at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. I had the job of gathering all the PIKE men, alumni and active members, for the group picture. Thank goodness for the balcony! If you look close enough you can see my husband Tim in the purple tie with the microphone talking to me in the balcony about where I needed people to move. A little crazy to say the least, but I think it worked out pretty well. This banquet was pretty special because not only is Tim a Pike from Rose, but his real little brother David is an active member, and their younger cousin Russell got initiated last Friday. Talk about a family thing! (what’s even weirder is that on Tim’s other side of the family he has a cousin who was a Pike Rose who graduated in 07)… oh, and my uncle is a Pike.
Office Assistant
Personal
My little fur-ball of an office assistant was totally working the camera for my husband the other evening. Since she does provide valuable lap warming in the winter when I’m working on the computer, I thought I could give her a little blog action. The following is little miss Nacho King loving life under the coffee table!
Amanda & Derek Wedding
Weddings
Amanda was about the most excited bride I have met. After over 5 years of dating, most all of that being long distance, it was hard for her to soak up this was finally happening. She looked absolutely stunning. They had the sweetest moment when they first saw each other. They were married by their youth pastor who had witnessed this love from the very beginning. After a tear provoking ceremony the celebration continued in Huntington. For having just over 6 months to plan this wedding, Amanda didn’t overlook one detail. The reception was beautiful! It was such a witness to see their parents surround them in prayer after the traditional parent dances and leave them together on the dance floor. It was such a great representation of the leaving and cleaving that happens when you are married. Derek & Amanda are enjoying a warm and sunny cruise right now. May the Lord continue to bless this wonderful couple!
Ashley & Luke
Weddings
Ashley and Luke tied the knot in Ashley’s home church in Mitchell, Indiana. This was the same church that her parents got married in. Ashley is an only child and as well as Luke so this was a huge day for both families. I knew Ashley from our time together at Sigma Kappa. I love those ladies and am grateful I got to spend my college years with such great young women. That also means I remember when Ashley and Luke started dating. Word always traveled fast in a sorority house. Pretty neat to be part of their big day years later!
After the hair salon in Bloomington, we headed to the church where the ladies got glammed up. Despite the chilly weather, we stepped outside for some pictures in front of the church. The sanctuary was perfect for this sweet ceremony and absolutely packed full of family and friends. Seriously, they broke out folding chairs in the back. What a blessing to have so many people share and support you in the commitment of marriage. After the ceremony, the wedding party traveled to Paoli where the reception was. Catering was by the Schnitzelbank, which I have to mention, since it is a staple of southern Indiana. (great German food out of Jasper) Everyone enjoyed dancing the night away, celebrating with Ashley and Luke. They headed off to a Carribbean cruise early the next morning and were even stopping at St. Martin where Tim and I went on our honeymoon. It was such a great wedding, for a great couple who I know will have a great life together. Congrats guys!
