Marriage of Lanelle and Trow




July 3, 2010 our grand daughter Lanelle Marie Ferguson was married to Second Lieutenant Andrew Trowbridge Ward, U.S. Air Force. The wedding was held in DeKoevend Park Pavilion on a beautiful day in Littleton Colorado. Family and friends came from many states to witness and to help them celebrate the start of their new life together. Lanelle's pastor, Chris Austin of New Covenant Church Woodland park, officiated. Trows sister Teresa read 1Corinthians 13 and at the end a blessing was given by parents Harold Ferguson and Allison Ward.

After the ceremony we all went to the reception in Denver at the Mercury Cafe, a dance club that and they and their friends enjoyed. After dinner there was great music played by a DJ friend of the family. These young people really know how to dance, graceful and full of rhythm. Even the grand parents joined in on the fun.
The couple drove off at 9 PM to a honeymoon in the Caribbean. Some of the crowd went back in to dance till midnight, and some of us went back to the hotel for a well earned rest and sleep.

It had been a busy three days, a shower for the bride on Thursday, a rehearsal dinner on Friday night at the Prime Steakhouse in downtown Denver and then the excitement of the wedding on Saturday.

Trow will be stationed at Vance AFB, Enid Oklahoma for the next year as he trains to be a pilot. They have an apartment near the base and it will be a new and different life for them both. We wish them a happy marriage and joy through Christ their Lord.
