When Sarah and I were planning our wedding we decided we wanted the event to be first and foremost a service of corporate worship to God and only a wedding on secondary level.
This is the 7th of 7 sections of video from our wedding on March 11th, 2006 to show what that looked like.
Part 7 – The Kiss:
Exit Tune: Beautiful Day – U2
Eve-Marie was so cute. Her job was to drop rose pedals on the way in so she thought she’d pick them up on the way out.

Part 6 – Lighting the Unity Candle:
Flame – Nooma, Rob Bell
Sarah and I sifted through tons of music to get the best picks for our wedding. We couldn’t seem to find a song that fit with the lighting of our unity candle. We though this was more representative of what we wanted to convey.

Part 5 – The Bride’s Entrance – Vows:
Billy’s Vows:
SARAH!! I take you to be my wife, confident in my soul that you will be my lifesaving helpmate, true friend and loving companion
Today, in the presence of God, our family, and our friends, I give to you my sacred vow that as your husband and Eve-Marie’s Daddy,
I will always protect you, cherish you, and sacrifice myself to love you as Christ loved the Church
Not only in health but also in sickness,
Throughout our laughter and our tears,
Whether we are blessed with abundance or struggling with want.
I promise to
Love you completely
Giving you my heart, my body and my commitment
And to lead you in the adventure that God ordained for us
As long as we both live.

Part 4 – Processional:
Not to Us – Chris Tomlin
We had our bridesmaids/groomsmen/parents walk in during Not to Us. At around 1:30 on the video you see my brother, Al, walk in my mom-in-law and then see my best man, Kevin, raising his hands. Al’s not much of a church kid so not really knowing what Kevin was doing he gives Kev a high-five.

Part 3 – Worshiping God through Song 3:
Better is One Day – Matt Redman
One of my favorite moments from that day is at the end of this video when I let the people at my wedding lead me in worship.
