The whole family pitched in to finish decorating Mercy Hill Church for the reception dinner on Saturday. It was a budget event, but decorations looked very special. The wedding will be on Saturday at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Cherry Hill, NJ where the Henry kid’s youth group meets. While both Jeremiah and Lydia’s dads are pastors, the ceremony will be performed by Pastor Mike who lead some Summer camps the wedding couple attended.

The rehearsal and dinner were at Covenant.  As the couple rehearsed their vows, they were Hans and Leah Solo so they wouldn't be married at the rehearsal! Ben and Lisa Lin, the groom’s parents, hosted the dinner. They are Taiwanese descendants, so the catered buffet was Chinese – imagine that! Everything was tasty. It was a good chance to get to know the Lin side of the new family. There are quite a few more guests on the Lin side than the Henry side.
