A wedding that made me happy-and gave me a new sister

Jen and Justin Crompton
September 17 2006



Witnessing this marriage was rather extraordinary for many reasons. The first, and overwhelming one was the fact that both have struggled with almost fatal injuries. Justin was in a car accident while biking, and was run over-his helmet was all that saved his head from being crushed. His family was told in succesion that he wouldn't live, then that he would never walk or talk again. He graduated college with a degree, and is now married to the sweetest girl ever.
Jen had leukemia and had to undergo chemo. She had been 'clean' for 3 years now-the time limit they put on survivors to be declared cured.
It's just amazing to see two people who God has touched in such amazing ways being joined together. They have shared so much of the same experiences.
And i love gaining such a great girl as a sister!'
And it was pretty cool seeing my shy Nathan walking down the aisle in a tux. He was the best man.
