Tying the Knot

I recently conducted the wedding ceremony of my nephew Jeremy Davidson and his new bride, Stephanie Zmijewski. I am so excited for them, they make an awesome couple! Donna and I are very close to Jeremy and his brother Jordy. They grew up here in Acadiana and we have seen them almost every day of their entire lives! Before our own kids were born, Donna and I honed our parenting skills on them and it was kind of like seeing one of my own children get married.

When Jeremy was little, his eye teeth came in before the rest and we nicknamed him fangs. We used to tease him and say he was a little werewolf - then he grew up and has the thickest hair/beard I've ever seen! Coincidence? Watch out on the night on those full moons Stephanie! (LOL) At some point he realized people liked being complemented. He would tell me every time I saw him, "Uncle Jeff (in his thick North Louisiana Accent) - I like your shoes!" Last night I got to complement him on a very nice pair of shoes he wore with his handsome wedding suit.

Stephanie came to us through Master's Commission from Florida. She was a stand out among a lot of incredible young people in her class. When I learned that she and Jeremy were dating, I was so happy because I knew she was the answer to all of the prayers we've prayed for Jeremy since he was just a little boy - Prayers that God would send him a wonderful, godly wife one day.

It was a fine celebration with friends and family and I tied the knot as tight as I know how.
