The New Mr. & Mrs. Wahab

I am very behind in pictures so this is a little out of order.

We attended the wedding of our friend Phil on August 4th. He married a wonderful and well suited woman from Ohio, where the wedding was held. Richard had been asked to be one of the ushers. We headed down just 2 weeks after our return from Pennsylvania. A beautiful drive to a beautiful wedding. We spent the night nearby and then attended morning services at Stephanie's home assembly. They held a fellowship lunch afterwards as there were a number of people from our assembly there as well.

Stephanie and her bridal party. (Phil's sister Laura is on the far left). Stephanie designed her dress herself. I believe that is her brother on the right.Cutting the cake at the reception. Steph's grandmother made the cake-it's all cake too.
One of the couples at our table. They did a joint reading during the ceremony and rolled out the white runner for Stephanie before she came down the aisle. They were both saved out of the Amish religion.

Bushkill Falls continued






See below for description.

Allantown/Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Some shots from a beautiful natural reserve we visited called "Bushkill Falls". It advertises itself as "Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania". I don't think they've ever been to Niagara Falls. But it was a beautiful site. Stairs have been built around the area to climb up and down beside the falls. It was a workout!
