It’s not a huge group…this is a fairly small, closeknit community…but there are definitely more varieties of Anabaptists in this area than where I grew up. And a number of Mennonite or Amish owned businesses, cafes, bulk food stores, etc. To my untrained Midwestern eyes, it’s sorta like a miniature Lancaster. :)

In reply to marianbeaman. I enjoyed reading about your wedding, Marian! Thank you for sharing the link. And yes, I had no idea last year where I would be this year. God is astoundingly surprising.

I loved reading this post. You did a beautiful job on your dress. I borrowed my friends wedding dress and we did potluck for our wedding. We did our best to cut costs. I also appreciate what you said about being prepared for our Bridegroom to return and we must be ready!
Thank you Luci!

I always enjoy reading what you write !! Yes, I made my own wedding dress 53 yrs ago and the material cost me $5.00. And yes, the community of believers in my church, family and friends helped with the meal, set up the tables and clean up as we were headed out for a honeymoon. :)
I looked on the map where you live and it appears to be in western MD. Didn’t know there were a large group of Amish & Mennonites, etc in that area. Keep writing !!

It’s already been said, but this is a great post! I love how you turned your wedding dress into an allegorical illustration — both of your community and the Church.
