Dave Fiji prayed for two days straight to stave off the rain forecast for the night of his wedding.
In all his planning, the groom had been meticulous. He wasn’t concerned with flashy displays or luxury. But he was particular about the details close to his heart – like the cross, draped in white cloth, he had specially designed for the occasion.
Their venue last Friday was The Revere, a sprawling site about five miles out from a national forest known for towering hardwoods and evergreens set against the North Georgia mountains. Its event packages featured lush greenery, candlelit halls with soaring ceilings and ceremony musicians.
It even offered a helicopter sendoff.
Before the ceremony and according to custom, Dave’s tight-knit family gathered, not only his parents but his father’s siblings, too. This was a special day for them. Dave was the eldest among all their children.
