We would like to thank Mrs. Judy Bickerford for coordinating the ceremony; Mrs. Kelly Driskill for coordinating our reception; Mrs. Jessica Evans for designing our wedding invitations and programs; and Mrs. Carrie Myers who sewed three bridesmaid dresses.

Our wonderful parents must not go by unmentioned. They have advised us through all the stages of planning and preparations. Thank you for encouraging us, reminding us, and guiding us. Thank you all so very much for raising us in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Thank you for providing us godly homes to live in and for leading us through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Emily and Kathryn particularly wish to thank their mother, Dani Ruth Callihan. She has been our constant friend through the work of this wedding. She helped us in countless ways, but in a few ways that we want to proclaim here; she altered both of our wedding dresses to make them “perfect”; she sewed two bridesmaid dresses; she designed our reception with us and kept us on task many times; and still she kept her family fed and happy and through the Holiday season she kept all the Callihan Christmas traditions in place, of which there are many. Mom, we love you and when we grow up we want to be like you.

Soli Deo Gloria!
