The Wedding Ceremony

On Sunday, July 15th at 4:00 p.m. my daughter Jolie married Jake Goodson. Family members, as seen in this photo, were happy to attend their ceremony. In this photo are my brother Lonnie, his son Cody, my brother Randy, Lonnie's wife Terry, Lonnie's son Ryan, my father Dean, my mom Carol, me, Jolie, Jake, Jake's mother Ronalie, his sister Lily, his sister Eva, his aunt, his brother Ben and his cousin Joaquin. The wedding took place at Kruger Farm on Sauvie Island outside of Portland, Oregon.





I walked Jolie up the aisle to Jake.

He and the attendants waited under an oak tree. Friends and family came from as far as Florida and New York and as near as Salem and Portland. Jake and Jolie have made friends in many places and have stayed close with them over the years. This is only one of the ways in which they are well matched.

After sharing their own vows, which had us all laughing and teary-eyed, and then the formal vows, Jolie and Jake Goodson beamed as they faced the loved ones who witnessed their happy day.
