Edited to add: Livestream of wedding starts at 1:43 p.m. EST.
We just finished our wedding rehearsal and are gearing up for a big day. Here are Gage and Sarah greeting everyone before the start.
We had a few challenges and drawbacks this week (nothing medical, thankfully), but everything is in place and ready to go.
Just a reminder we will be livestreaming at facebook.com/manteofirstag
Also, if you go to Facebook or Instagram and type in #Sagewedding 2021, that’s the hash tag where all the pictures will be collected.
I’ve got a late night tonight and an early morning tomorrow but just wanted to say hello and thank you to all our friends–both near and far–who will be thinking of our family tomorrow.
If you watch the livestream, be sure to leave a message–either on FB or here.
Here’s to the newlyweds and new love!
As I write this, the wedding and festivities are all done and Becky and Steve can relax for a while. Have not looked at the pictures yet, but will do so. I remember Sarah was concerned because she was so shosrt. In looking at the picture of she and Gage at the top of the page – is is just right for her – in all ways – stature and personality.
Such and beautiful and meaningful wedding. These two are not only in love but share such a spiritual bond ….what a book this would make.
What a beautiful ceremony and bride! Congratulations Sarah and Gage- May God bless your marriage.
Love,
Heather
Congratulations Sarah and Gage!
I have never seen a more beautiful, precious wedding….I admit tears fell quite often! What a joy….after following since the beginning, all those years ago… to witness Sarah all grown up, deeply in love and marrying a man who so obviously cherishes her. God is so good!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful ❤ Congratulations!
The wedding was the sweetest Holy Spirit filled wedding I have ever witnessed. It was just precious. Sarah was a beautiful bride and you were a beautiful MOB. I loved your dress Becky.
I loved hearing Sarah’s strong voice saying her vows and Gage too. They need to counsel couples getting married. Their love for each other is so strong in their actions. The Lord has a great plan for them.
I hope you are getting some much needed rest. I know if feels strange when you have an empty nest.
No go have a happy, healthy long marriage Sarah and Gage.
Joy,
Yes, it truly was a joy to hear and see Sarah feeling strong after so many weeks of weakness. Thankful!
So Beautiful and Meaningful! ❣
What a beautiful wedding! And a BEAUTIFUL bride! Thank you for sharing with us! I hope you are able to get some rest now. I remember the exhaustion after my daughters weddings. I will continue to pray for Sarah and am believing God for complete healing!
An absolutely beautiful and meaningful wedding! Thanks so much for including us in it.
Everything was beautiful Becky! Your dress, Sarah and her dress, their vows, the video, the ring bearer and flower girl. I could go on.
Hope you can take a long nap tomorrow afternoon!
The wedding was perfect, I went outside very early to get my gardening done, didn’t see a soul at 6:30. I would love to see it again. Sarah was lovely and Gage very handsome! Their service fit them perfectly. You looked lovely as well, your dress was charming. Hope all of you get some rest. All of the hard work by all was wonderful.
Cindy,
Just want to be sure you knew the wedding will stay on the FB page for the foreseeable future so it can be re-watched. At some point we will also have the professional video of many of the wedding excerpts. Did you recognize any of your hats hanging as aisle markers?
What an absolutely beautiful wedding. I cried so many times to see this lovely young couple make their vows to one another – so obviously in love. It was happy, it was moving, it funny, it was sweet, it was delightful.
Becky, you looked BEAUTIFUL in your dress.
Teresa,
Thank you for your sweet comments. Happy week after the wedding to you and YOUR family!
Congratulations!!! So happy for you all!
Congrats to the beautiful couple and their families! What a blessing having followed Sarah growing up through reading your blogs, and now being able to see her getting married. Thank you for sharing these moments through the live stream with us. I must admit I rewatched the kiss several times: cutest (and funniest) thing ever.
Babette,
Yes, Gage couldn’t even wait for the “You may kiss the bride line.” I guess we can forgive him for his enthusiasm. 🙂
What a delightful wedding! I worked around the house this afternoon so was able to watch/listen. It was a very God-honoring ceremony. It also showcased Gage and Sarah’s personalities and also their love for each other (and God!!). Your brother-in-law did a magnificent job.
I trust that you and Steve were able to enjoy it. Praying for you to get some rest soon. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
Best wishes to you all!
Not a dry eye in my house. Beautiful
the most beautiful and meaningful wedding I have ever seen, thank you so uch for sharing 😘
Congratulations Sarah and Gage! What a beautiful wedding. I watched from a quiet corner of Costco in Beltsville, MD. I got a few weird glances, but so what? There was a celebration to be had!
Jennifer,
Our only Costo Wedding Watcher! 🙂
Wow that was a beautiful and very touching wedding . Sarah was a vision and Becky you looked lovely too.
How exciting!!
I went out to work in the yard so I would be cleaned up in time to watch! I can hardly wait!
I can’t get the old song, “Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gunna get married…” out of my head. (And that’s a good thing.)
All blessings on the wonderfully happy couple and their families today and always.
I wonder if the bride and her father will skip down the aisle. 🙂
Jan,
That would have been really funny.
Prayers for God’s blessings on this wedding g day and for their new lives together.
So looking forward to the live stream this afternoon, what a wonderful day for a wedding! Looking forward to seeing the MOB dress 🙂
So happy for this joyous day to be here.
All my best to the beautiful young couple joining their lives, love and faith today. May God’s blessings grant them a long, happy life together.
Hugs, prayers and blessings,
Linda in Pittsburgh
Congratulations on making it to the big day! I’m so excited for Sarah and Gage and so glad Sarah is feeling better! I sure hope to be able to watch!
Prayers for the best day ever. Hopefully I will be able to watch
Soooooo excited!!!! No matter what happens in the future, it’s a beautiful miracle that these two are joining their hearts and souls today!!!! Love to you all!!
So happy and excited for TODAY to be happening! Wishing the bride and groom a lifetime of love and laughter! Praying for all of you!
Hoping that this will be a wonderful and memorable day of happiness for all!! Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers throughout the day. May Sunday afternoon be a time of rest and peaceful reflection for you and Pastor Steve.
Love, Fred & Lucy
Hope the happy couple have a fantastic day and a life full of God’s richest blessings xxxx
May you all have a lovely day
Ah I see it’s at 1:45, if that helps the previous commenter who asked – which will be 6:45 pm in England. Perfect.
Teresa,
It’s actually 1:43 p.m. It was printed incorrectly on program. (not a big difference, though.)
Happy Wedding Day!
We’ll try and catch some of the livestream, I see Manteo is 5 hours behind us (so 03:16 there as I write this from England) so when I find the wedding time (mentioned in a recent post on here I think – a picture of the wedding invitation?) we’ll be good to go.
Popping out this morning to get a few last minute things for my own daughter’s wedding (tomorrow) – and this might make you smile – the main thing we are getting is pink wellington boots. Yes, they will be an unusual choice of footwear for a wedding, will they not? But we have had the WORST week for weather, it has hardly stopped raining, and blowing gales, just awful, even for England, so if they want photographs outside it will be off with the pretty bridal slippers and on with the boots and big umbrellas 😀
Have a WONDERFUL day! Our love to you all. Hope you get a bit of a rest after today, Becky, while your daughter starts her life with her lovely man. xxxx Teresa and Juliet xxx
Teresa,
Happy wedding day to your family!
I have been thinking of and praying for Gage and Sara all week. I am looking forward to watching the wedding and seeing all of the beautiful pictures.
I am trusting God that He will bless them with a beautiful wedding and a wonderful future as they serve the Lord together.
Hi Becky,
Wow- it’s here! So exciting! Sending you all love and joy and blessings from Alberta Canada. I’m sure it will be a spectacular day. I’d love to watch the livestream. What time will it be? (Sorry if you have mentioned that previously, I don’t see it).
Jenna,
1:43 p.m. EST 🙂
Thanks Becky!!!
It’s the big day!! Hooray!!! Sending you all much love. Have the best day of the lives ❤
Yay!! It’s here and SOOOOO exciting!! Wishing you all a super wonderful day tomorrow! I don’t do Instagram but plan to watch on FB. Happy wedding day!! ❤❤
I am so happy the big day has finally arrived!! Sending best wishes for the wonderful couple! I will be unable to watch during the actual ceremony. Will it be saved so we can watch later? Thoughts and prayers that tomorrow is one of the best days ever for Sarah and Gage! Wishing them love and happiness always!
Bridgette,
Yes, it will be saved on the FB page and I will post it later to the blog. 🙂
HAPPY WEDDING DAY! May it be beautiful in every way! So happy to be able to watch it later!
Bridgette,
Yes, it will be on the FB page indefinitely. 🙂
Such fun to see a picture of the darling couple!
Many blessings on your day tomorrow! You will be prayed for by many friends you’ve never met!
So glad that things have improved. I plan to watch the livestreaming also. Such an exciting time for all. May God bless and will keep praying. I have to add the whole family is outstanding, but I hope if I ever have a daughter in law, that she is exactly like Meagan. Her parents must be so proud of her.
I plan to watch! I’m so excited for all of you!
Much love and blessings for the happy couple and their families!
Tammy
Prayers for a wonderful day!
I’m so excited for this wedding!! I plan to join the livestream!!
Glad the setbacks weren’t anything medical and that everything is ready to go! Best wishes on a wonderful wedding day.
So excited for all of you! Will plan to watch from Florida!
Hugs and prayers to all!
