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. We thank You for green trees and red roses— for the vibrant beauty that surrounds us, just as the beauty of their love blooms and flourishes before our eyes. May their marriage be like the skies of blue and clouds of white— clear in purpose, gentle in spirit, and full of hope even when storms roll in. As they walk hand in hand, may they alw...
