The Ceremony
The ceremony was held at Houston's spectacular Grace Presbyterian Church. Because there were over 500 guests, it took place in the main sanctuary rather than the chapel. As guests were seated, the Houston Children's Chorus sang from the balcony. Just before Emily's entrance, the 60+ boys and girls filed down the aisle singing Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee. The ceremony was officiated by the Reverend Dr. David McKechnie and Mr. Michael Richards, a close family friend of Kip's. The Children's Chorus sang throughout the ceremony, making it especially lovely and memorable.
