Each story in the Bible shows a slightly different view of how God moves and works and if there aren’t things that absolutely shake your faith up and make you wrestle a bit than either you’re burying your head in the sand or keeping God safely tucked away in a little box of your own making. <br />Ask God to reveal himself to you and stand by to be amazed Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-58741886365884800732019-06-01T20:30:23.093-05:002019-06-01T20:30:23.093-05:00There were no more dances at the wedding.There were no more dances at the wedding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-78181715241738790552019-05-31T16:34:29.274-05:002019-05-31T16:34:29.274-05:00@12:32- On whose Biblical interpretations do you ...@12:32- On whose Biblical interpretations do you base your beliefs?

Wearing only dresses or skirts is a personal conviction rather than biblically mandated. Dancing is also not prohibited in the Bible. Kelly hasn't changed the way she dresses even as some of her daughters have decided to wear pants. She has stated in the past that once her children leave the house they dictate their own standards and rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-70782297486085531562019-05-31T12:32:51.569-05:002019-05-31T12:32:51.569-05:00I agree.

My views and beliefs are biblically-based and have not changed one bit. I don't understand how a family that was once against dancing are now dancing! Kelly once said on the United Bates of America that she believed wearing dresses was more modest, wholesome and honorable to God. Well, now that her girls are wearing jeans does she still feel the same.

With everyone wearing their hair up except Carlin, it's a little hard to identify some of them. There's a photo of the entire wedding party -- and all of their relatives -- in the US Weekly Magazine article. Josie was next to Kelton in that one, which is why I could find her in the photo above.

The only reason there was any dancing -- and I am not aware of any dances except the 2 shown above -- was Carlin's dream of having a father-daughter dance at her reception -- not to have dancing in general. Gil had to take dance lessons to learn the classic waltz, so he could make sure Carlin had the wedding of her dreams. I guess it would have looked odd not having a husband-wife dance, along with the father-daughter dance, so they included that one, too. I guess we'll find out next season (or in another blog entry) if there were any other dances that day.

Even with a typical wedding at a smaller scale, you have eyes watching you at all times and the day is planned by the hour. The emotion shown in the pictures and family congratulations video show it was a genuine and emotional day. And, yes, there are videographers at "normal" weddings who record the guests' messages to the bride and groom.<br />It looks like a beautiful wedding and I hope it was everything Carlin hoped it would be.
