It doesn't happen too often, finding couples that have been together for 7+ years before they get married, but that is John and Carly's story. They have been a couple since high school and from everyone's testimonies at their wedding, they only ever had eyes for each other.
The wedding took place at The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Peoria, Illinois. This is the most stunning cathedral, outside of Italy, I have ever been in. It perfectly complimented Jon and Carly. With a packed house these two promised to love each other through the good times and the bad, honor each other in Christ, and be witnesses of His love to the world.
The day was full of so many personal touches. One of my favorites was Carly had her grandparents photos attached to her bouquet. And another was her rosary, which she had all the women in her family pray over before the wedding. When she told me that it literally brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing families honor their young generations with such blessings. It is truly encouraging.
I wish the newest Sanderson's many years of health, wealth, and happiness in the eyes of the Lord! Cheers!
