     a family copes with the effects of a wife's affair
After the story about courtship, dating, meeting the parents, proposal, and blessings from Torrie’s father, the two got married at the Birdview Chapel. It was a beautiful wedding, with Torrie’s father giving her away. He was a strong, broad shouldered man in his 50's with gray hair in his temples just smiling away as he gave his "one and only baby girl" away. It was a beautiful wedding complete with the cute little flower girls in lace trimmed white dresses carrying baskets full of rose petals. The bridesmaids, Torrie’s all dressed in long, fuschia, shimmering, short-sleeves dresses carrying bouquets of Torrie’s favorite flowers, white roses. The crying parents all decked out in well creased suits and the ladies in their finest hats. The best men, Timothy’s two brothers, Zachary and Mitchell, Torrie’s brother Wayne, and his best friend Dave. And of course, the cute little, curly-haired then five year old Malcolm was the ring bearer. (And a little prankster to boot, but he knew not to play a prank on THIS day.)
And Torrie and Timothy. Standing in front of Rev. James Eeks, the pastor of the Birdview Chapel. The two have written each other vows of love, honor, obedience, and of course, fidelity. It was a most beautiful wedding. After the wedding and reception, the two went off on a romantic honeymoon to Cancun, Mexico. Dave had purchased the colonial house where they presently live in, Carterstown, GA.
Torrie wondered if Timothy could afford the house, which he could. He had just gotten the job at the West-Jones agency highly recommended by the Lakemore, Easton, and Dassel Agencies. There, this is where they will spend the rest of their lives. In a lovely two-story colonial home in a space, and a yard, large enough for the family they have always wanted. The yard was surrounded by a pond, beautiful dogwood trees, and enough privacy to give a young couple the peace and quiet that every one would like every once in a while.
As they both surveyed the place, Torrie was giving out ideas left and right about which pictures to hang, where the table should go, what color to paint the walls. Timothy always chuckled at Torrie’s grandiose ideas, but Torrie was actually quite serious. With all of the beauty outside and all of the decorating possibilities inside, who could blame her? Within months, the house was decorated in time to bring home a new baby to rest in and be in safety surrounded by the love of his or her mom and dad. Nine months after the beautiful wedding, an even more blessed event occurred. They gave birth to their first child, a beautiful cherub-faced little boy named Timothy Roger Donald, named after both Timothy and her father, Roger Marion Reese. It was a blessed event celebrated by all, as well as the births of their other two sons, Sean Torry Donald and Davis Canton Donald. Torrie and Timothy were a loving, happy young family and all was well.
