Can you imagine what a special thrill to be the one to officiate your grandson’s wedding? Feel free to inquire, as I was privileged to do so. The weekend following Ellary’s graduation was the occasion of the marriage of Kellen and Lauren. That I was asked and able to do so was one of life’s highlights. They are such a fine, young, Christian couple and full of talent, determination, discipline, joy and a strong work ethic. Lauren graduated from Liberty in Sports Management and is working for the Durham Bulls Baseball team and the Durham Thundercats hockey team. Kellen’s graduation - which could have been a separate post, was from App State in Industrial Design. He made the absolute most of his time in college and earned awards and accolades for his projects. Kellen is exploring his options and doing interviews while also pursuing some contract work for a couple specialty audio companies. Certainly proud of both of them. The rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding day events and reception all were well planned and beautiful. One of the highlights was when the mascot for Liberty and the mascot for App State appeared on the dance floor. They took over the night. As to why, both Lauren and Kellen were the people in the costume for their respective schools. Neat.
