My oldest sister's son got married......Joel and Carissa exchanged vows Friday night in Salem Oregon. I was not able to attend...=(. It sounded like it was a festive occasion though. Congratulations Joel and Carissa...May God RICHLY bless your marriage!
Joel, formerly of CA, attended a school in Salem, OR...and found a job there and decided to stay. This past summer, he was introduced to Carissa and fell in love!
I think the fun part of the story is that both of Joel's and Carissa's grandparents live in Sparta & in Casnovia. They did not realize that when they first went out. Isn't that fun to know you live on the West Coast and your grandparents, from both sides, live 10 minutes from each other in MI....how amazing is that!! Her last name is Schutter....a great niece to our friend Dave Schutter!!!
Another fun fact....our former pastor's son, Craig Hammond, is working at the school Joel attended while in OR, Willamette University. While Dad and Linda were in OR for the wedding, they called Craig to see if they could visit him.....Surprise....Pastor Tom and June were there visiting as well. Dad and Linda said they had a wonderful time visiting with all the Hammond's.....Chad and his wife were there also!
What a small world we live in......

That is great Dad and Linda got to visit with the Hammonds. I'm not sure I like the "One to go" idea. Seeing your kids so grown up is weird.
Hi Joanne! The wedding was a blast and it is great to hear that Bill and Linda got to see the Hammonds. It would have been so fun to have you there.. but we'll try to re-create some of the moments in pictures for you as we find the time! Love ya!
That is amazing!! Definately a very small world! LoriK:)
