No. This is an open-invite wedding! All are welcome to this worship service featuring Jesus ... and a bride and groom and their families thrown in there.
Abso-stinkin-lutely!! We love kiddos and family! There will be plenty of things for them to do and to eat (because let's be honest ... we all really come for the cake, don't we?!)
We're getting hitched at a place where we love, laugh, work, and worship - in the Worship Center of Idlewild Baptist Church. The reception will be located in the Gatheria of Idlewild. The Gatheria is right outside the Worship Center, so no driving required! Put your walking shoes on and meet us out there. Also ... it's August folks ... in Florida! Can we just bless the Lord for some air conditioning. Everything is happening INSIDE!
Honestly, you do you! Be comfortable and come as you are. The bride will be wearing white. The groom will be wearing a suit. The other folks standing up will be in dresses or ties. Everyone else wear a smile!
The ceremony begins at 3pm. If you'll do the bride a favor and get there just a skosh (sk-oh-shhh ... that's a Texas term Kim learned while in seminary!!) early, then you can snag a seat while she gets prepared to run down the aisle to meet that amazing man of hers! Maybe, ehhh 2:30-2:45ish. We're pretty sure the doors will be open way before 3pm, so get there and fellowship with all the other Jesus Followers (fellowship ... thats a term for church folk standing around chattin!)
PLEASE DO! It's an open invite because man, do we love Jesus and people! The more the merrier! Note that Jesus will be honored and the Gospel will be shared. If you're up for that ... come on! If not ... give us a call, let's chat!
When you arrive on the Idlewild Campus, you can park ... well, anywhere really! The doors under the large covered walkways will be open when you arrive and the Worship Center is through the brown wooden doors. The entrance near Guest Central and Welcome Center 2 is the easiest and most accessible for the wedding guests. We're gonna do our best to fill up the floor seating first, so y'all scoot over, get comfy, and lean into each other.
Everyone who comes to the wedding is invited to the reception! Sorry we can't do a full meal for everyone, BUT we'll have some heavy appetizers available, as well as cake and dessert. There will be gluten free options.
Seriously, your presence is enough of a present for us! We just want to get together with our friends, family, loved ones, church family, and anyone else who needs a good Saturday night activity and worship with our people! Come help us make much of Jesus that day and we will be so honored by that!
Y'ALL!! Pastor Ken is walking his sweet baby girl down the aisle and she is gonna need some BIG MAJOR TISSUES for that moment! But extra special, Lyn and Kim have also asked him to officiate their ceremony so he gets to be Pastor AND Father! How precious is that?! We can't imagine anyone else blessing us on that day.
Sure thing! We'd love for you to help us make much of Jesus on that day, so feel free to post any pictures of the ceremony or reception that would make Him smile!
