Ceremony in a Church

Before Frances was deployed to Afghanistan, she and her family attended Sts. John and Paul Church in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. Seasonal fall arrangements decorated the church, but the sanctity of the space held the most weight. "Our faith is very important to us, and in addition to our love for each other, it was probably an integral part in strengthening our relationship while I was deployed in Afghanistan the majority of our engagement," Frances says.
