3. Text of the Program

Our son, Jim, made a logo that we used on the lobby sign, door signs, programs, and CD labels.
The first order of business was the food. There was a nice buffet plus hot items served by roving butlers in uniform. Of course, coffee, tea, and soft drinks were available. The room was tastefully decorated by our girls with cut flowers on every table.
The fellowship hour was from four till five. Guests were free to move around the room and enjoy the food and visit the memorabilia area. The bride's original gown, as well as the flower girl's [Jacki] dress were on display. Judy also wore the gown in her wedding in 1985.
Three identical slide shows comprised of activities of the Ed Lint Family over the years ran continuously and automatically. The slide on the screen at this instant was of the four sisters, here being viewed by Mrs. Nina Wislocky, our Pastor's wife. You can download a copy of this PDF file by clicking the following link: slides.pdf
During the fellowship time, the top 40 hits of the 50s played on the sound system. As the five o'clock hour approached, the music changed to sacred organ and piano music transcribed by Marceille Harrison, sister of the bride. Each family was given a CD copy of this music, as a souvenir of the occasion.
Ed and Dave discussing the cueing of the organ music.
When it was time for the processional, the CD player jammed. Pat, Jim, and Dave are trying to figure what's not happening. Eventually we had to turn it upside down and shake it to get it to play again. So much for the high tech of the new century!
Vicki, Jim's wife, and Emily [Dave's wife] served as Bride's Matrons
Jessi, our younger daughter, was Matron of Honor -- Dillon, assisted by the speedy Justus, was the ring bearer. Dillon told me later he had a hard time keeping up with Justus because he was trying to keep up with the Matron of Honor, his Mommy.
Tori and Amy laying down a path of flowers for the coming Bride.
Who gives this woman? We still do! Mr. and Mrs. Max L. Hile still give Nancy to me after 50 years.
Pastor Judy Carney, our elder daughter is Pastor for Children and Director of the Children's School at the New Cumberland [Pa.] Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Steve Cherrico is Jessi's husband. He is Youth Pastor and Team Leader at Christ Church Nashville.
Pastors Judy and Steve conducted the ceremony and led us in our vows: Judy for Nancy and Steve for me. The full text of the vows appears below the pictures.
Then the Forever Ring and the kiss!
Then, we go off script as each of the kids pays us a tribute: Judy, Dave, Jim, and Jessi, in age-ical order, as they used to say when they were younger.
Jessi was the flower girl at my sister's wedding in 1976, when she was five. During the down-time while the photographer was taking pictures, Jessi disappeared into the crowd. Later, we learned she had been selling the leftover rose petals to people who were waiting to go into the reception. Nancy was mortified. I thought it was hilarious!
Now, time for cake! The cake top is from our original wedding cake served August 4, 1956. The cakes, by the way, were delicious: Chocolate Mousse and Strawberry Crème, from the Pennsylvania Bakery.

Here are some pictures of the wedding party

[Judy] The vows Nancy and Ed are about to exchange are similar to those given before my grandfather, Rev. J. Franklin Lint, on August 4, 1956.

Who gives this woman to be married to this man? [Max and Jeri] We still do.

[ Steve] Ed, will you continue to have this woman as your wedded wife, as you live together in God’s ordinance of holy matrimony? Will you continue to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, make her the only woman in your life?

[Ed:] I will

[Judy] Nancy, will you continue to have this man as your wedded husband, as you continue to live together in God’s ordinance of holy matrimony? Will you continue to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, make him the only man in your life?

[Nancy: I will.]

[Judy to Nancy and Ed:] You may join hands.

[Judy, to Nancy] I, Nancy, continue to take you, Edwin . . .As my cherished and lawful husband . . .To be the head of our family and the high priest of our home . . .To be my best friend and the only love in my life . . . Until Jesus comes back in the rapture or we are separated by death . . .

[Steve to Ed] I, Edwin, continue to take you, Nancy . . .As my cherished and lawful wife . . .To be the matriarch of our family and the high priestess of our home . . .To be my best friend and the only love in my life . . .Until Jesus comes back in the rapture or we are separated by death . . .

[Steve] What symbol do you have for Nancy to confirm your vows to her?

[Ed] This Forever Ring. [Steve] You may now place the Forever Ring on the third finger of her right hand as a symbol of the past, present, and future of your marriage and your love for each other

[Judy] By the authority vested in us by the International Church of the Nazarene, Christ Church Nashville, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the State of Tennessee, Pastor Steve and I now renew your marriage license for another fifty years. Ed, that license authorizes you to kiss your wife.

[Individual tributes offered by Judy, Dave, Jim, and Jessi.]
