First just to make you laugh, here is a video of Katelyn and Anna with their hair braided together that we ran across last night: (This has over 2.9 K views- so funny!) And then we also found this one (watch it through the end-- especially of Jake-- I promise it will be a highlight of your day) This has over 6,000 views. 😂 And here's the song all on its own: and a prayer below inspired by this song: A Wedding Prayer Inspired by "What a Wonderful World" Gracious and Loving God, We pause in gratitude for Katelyn and Phillip whose hearts have chosen each other in the midst of this wide and wonderful world.
