~Chris and Kimberly's Beautiful Wedding!~

 Well, I have had lots of busy days and quite a bit of company since the wedding, so I am just now getting to post about Chris and Kimberly's wedding!  We are soooo happy with how Jesus helped us with their wedding!  It was such a beautiful sacred wedding and we are so Thankful!!  We are thrilled to have 2 wonderful son-in-laws in our family now! <3

Chris Kline and our Kimberly were married on Thursday, Sept. 1st, 

at the Barn at Hidden Ridge Hillsboro, OH

All right, let's get started!!  

These are pics that either I took, 

someone took on my phone, 

or I have borrowed from friends! 

Professional pics to come later!

But first...look at sweet little Kimberly!!!...

WHERE HAS TIME GONE?

~Phillip's Dream~

Back in 2015 Joshua Stamper and Chris Kline attended the same church in KY.

Josh told Chris that he had a friend he would like him to meet.  That friend was Kimberly!

In September of 2019 is when Kimberly first saw Chris Kline! 

In October 2019 while Phillip and Kimberly were visiting Colombia, 

Joshua Stamper invited Sarah and Noah to "Friend and Sibling day" at GBS. 

Josh and Sarah had a lot of fun, and the next day, Sarah enjoyed telling her Daddy (over the phone, all the way in Colombia) all about her fun time with Josh.

Her Daddy told her that last night he had had a dream.  He dreamed that Both Kimberly and Sarah were walking away from him, carrying their violins, and turned around to wave goodbye to him.  

He said that they were both Smiling!!! And that they were SOOOO HAPPY that he couldn't be sad!  

But he said when he woke up, that he did get teary eyed, knowing that God was going to bring 2 good young men into their lives in the not-to-distant future.  And that is what has happened.

So, Kimberly and Sarah Surprised Daddy by taking this picture...like he had seen in his dream.

~It was TOUCHING...and Daddy got teary eyed all over again.  

HE LOVES HIS GIRLS!!

But he is soooo happy that Jesus brought them both good godly husbands!~

~The Bride playing Amazing Grace!~

~Dear Bro and Sis. Becker brought a delicious lunch to serve to the wedding party!!!  

It was such a thoughtful gesture and was such a BLESSING!!~

~Pastor Eisenhart praying with the Bride. ~

~Inside the beautiful barn.  

~Kimberly did a great job decorating with X and O paper, 

little white Pompoms, 

little succulents and 

larger plants.~

~"Please sign your name,

on our Jenga Game!"~

~The Coffee Bar!~

The Bride and Groom chose to have a variety of Cheesecakes, 

Pretzels and Peanuts, 

A Coffee Bar, 

Sweet tea, and water.~

~Chris' sister Katie made the cute signs near the Jenga game and on the coffee table for Kimberly!~

~Kimberly made the cute little acrylic tags for the creamers.~

~We could not figure out how to hang these black balloons above the Coffee Bar without peeling the paint off of the new Barn walls.  

Dear Quint (Kimberly's new brother-in-law) came up with a way!~

Dear Debbie and Kate helped us so much with the Coffee Bar / 

Pretzels, Tea and Water!!! 

Side Note: The only thing we forgot to announce was that we set it up for everyone to grab their coffee. and go from 

LEFT TO RIGHT...

Coffee table first, 

then grab your cheese cake and go sit down.  

The crowd started the opposite way, and it got a little confusing.  

:-)  

I didn't get my coffee and cheesecake until later, so didn't realize that things were going backwards from how we had set it up!

~The Cheesecake Bar!~

Elijah went out and found a long stick and peeled it for Kimberly. Then she ordered these cute white hearts to hang on the stick. Noah did a great job hanging them above her Cheesecake table.

~We bought the New York Style Cheesecakes from Sam's, 

and then bought Cherry Pie Filling, Hershey Chocolate Syrup, and Raspberry syrup (from GFS).  Kimberly sent pics of how she wanted the Cheesecakes decorated, 

both the whole cheesecakes and the slices...

to Emily Albertson and Sis. Becker...and they did a BEAUTIFUL JOB decorating them!!!

~Years ago Chris Kline came up with his own "Brand" using his first and last initials.   

He never dreamed that God would send him KIMBERLY to totally go with his brand.  

At Kimberly's request, He made this Neat sign to hang above the Bridal party table.~

~Kimberly's good friend Natalie R. in Colombia helped design this so they could put it on their napkins.~

~The Bridal table was so beautiful!  

The tropical flare was a NOD TO HER YEARS IN COLOMBIA!!!~

~When Kimberly was still in My Tummy, 

Gram (My Moma) made her this little bonnet.  

Kimberly wore it home from the hospital! 

The week of her wedding, we took out some stitches and it became 

the hanky she carried on her wedding day!~

~Each Bridesmaid got a cute bag complete with goodies inside and their adorable little name tag that Kimberly made for them.~

~The Beautiful girls in front of the Beautiful Barn~

~I walked in to find Sarah praying with the Bride, minutes before Kimberly walked down the aisle.  

Sarah was a wonderful Matron of Honor.~

~Elijah and Mary were so cute walking together.~

For weeks Kimberly had been telling me that we needed to pray for a cloudy day on their wedding. I was a little confused, because she LOVES Sunshine!  

Then she explained that if the sun was beating down on the guests during the wedding, it would make it miserable. 

Speed up to their wedding day...

Chris' Grandma had just fainted on us right before the wedding.

So we all began to ask Jesus to please send us some clouds!

When the wedding started, 

Clouds covered the sun...

And stayed that way throughout the wedding.

When we went into the Barn for the Reception...

THE SUN CAME BACK OUT!!!

THANK YOU, SWEET JESUS!!!!

~Darla and Elizabeth playing beautiful music at the reception.~

~Elijah played a song per Kimberly's request.~

~Noah played a song per Kimberly's request.~

~We were so glad that my 2 brothers Andrew and Lincoln (and their sweet wives) 

and Steve and Luann Boardman (talking to Phillip in the background) could come.  

We were THRILLED that everyone could come!!! 

It was a great crowd!!! 

The Presence of every guest meant the world to us!!

I am guessing that there was around 180-ish present.~

~Kimberly (with some help from Sarah and I) translated a fun song from Spanish into English and surprised Chris by singing to him.  

The Song was called, "God did great making you!"

Kimberly and Sarah did a great job singing it!~

~The Bride and Groom talking to Pastor!~

~The wedding reception was nearly over when my Moma discovered that her 

DRY CLEANING TAG was still pinned to her sleeve. :-D ~

~Kimberly and Chris talking to Gramp.~

~Chris and Kimberly with Regina, 

the lady that played Match-maker and told them about each other years ago.  

She invited us over to a bond fire where they first saw each other....and God did the rest! <3 

Joshua Stamper worked pretty hard to help them get together as well.

I think He wanted Chris as a Brother-in-law! :-) ~

~We were so glad that Dear Uncle Dan and sweet Esther could come.~

~So fun to have Esther, Vonnie, and Lyn there.~

~THE SEND OFF!!!!~

Originally Kimberly had wanted to do a balloon send off...but then realized that it would have been hard to get all of those balloons way out to this barn in the country.  

So we just did a bubble machine 

and applause.  

Squealing 

and clapping 

and shouting 

and laughing!!!

AND KISSING!~

~What a Gorgeous Couple!!!~

~To honor Kimberly's Grandpa Dickinson, 

they asked if they could use his nice truck as their go-away vehicle.~

~Chris' Mom Karen and I...are 2 peas in a pod!!!  

She and I are "TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH!!!" :-D

She and I both climbed into the back of their truck like we were going on their honeymoon with them.

We still aren't for sure WHY they wouldn't let us go.  LOL!  :-)

~Their Signed Jenga Game.~

~While they were on their honeymoon, I pulled out the signed Jenga game to show my 80 year old sweet Moma how the game worked.

Noah, Moma, and I played a game.

Moma got soooo nervous that it was going to fall on her.  :-) 

~Chris and Kimberly took Chris' truck on their honeymoon. (They left Grandpa's truck at our house.)

Kimberly put her Cash app on their truck window on their honeymoon.  

They got a lot of smiles and one strangers sent them some money! ~

I will try to post the professional pictures when we get them back.

Thanks for stopping by and reliving their beautiful wedding with me!
