This was the big day when I got all of the above done! I had taken classes since September, and the ceremonies were on Easter Saturday evening, or Easter Vigil. The Kalinowskis were supposed to come down from Michigan, but a large snowfall stopped all traffic north of Fort Wayne.
Aaron was my sponsor for everything and Jennifer and Matt were our witnesses for our wedding. The Easter Services went from 7:15- 9:15 approximately. I took the confirmation name of Margaret.
Joel usually goes to bed at 7:30 so he laid down on the pew and tried to sleep with my coat on him. The constant getting up and down and singing made sleeping a little difficult for him, but he did not lose his temper with us. He was a picture of purity of spirit! Joel came up with Aaron and me for the baptism, but stayed with Jenny and Jamia for the confirmation.
The remarriage directly folllowed the easter service. It was short - about 5 minutes. We said our vows again, but this time I did not have to say that I would obey Aaron! Jamia held Joel, who could not stop grinning. Afterwards he said " Why did you guys have to get married two times?". On the way home I asked Joel whether he had a good time or whether he would have rather been sleeping. he said " I prefer sleeping". It was good and I am glad I did it. I have been wanting to be baptized for about twenty years now. I told Aaron I wanted to marry him again and I did. I had hoped that the second time would be less of a blur than the first, but I guess I have not changed much in the last 10 years, so it was still a blur!
