A Las Vegas Drive-Thru Wedding (9/9/08)

We landed in Vegas on teusday at 1:30pm. Immediately, we went to the Stratosphere where Paul Adams and Joy Waide (our witnesses) met us. Joy went with Jenny as she got her hair done, while Paul came with me to check in. The limo picked us up at around 5pm and we went to get me fitted for a tux, then to the courthouse to get a marriage license, then to The Little White Wedding Chapel for our wedding. The whole ceremony was over in less than 6 minutes!! (Enjoy the video of our wedding below! And for more pics of our wedding, click -->HERE<--) The limo took us back to the Stratosphere where we had a "reception dinner" at Fellini's. Then we parted ways with Paul and Joy.
Neither of us were nervous in any way. We did have butterflies on the plane, but as the time grew nearer and nearer, those nerves settled out and gratefulness and joy replaced them. To think back over the two years I've known Jenny, and to have stood in that place (out the sunroof of a limo!) was a feeling I pray I will never forget. We have been through a rollercoaster ride with each other, and now we stand as one; man and wife; the Duffy's.
Today was another special day, as Josh Heymans (in transit to Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry) flew in for two days with us. I have amazing friends.
I don't really know what else to say. I am so happy to be married to Jenny. We have entered into a very intimate covenant relationship with God that neither of us has a grid for. The future is His, as are we.
