    I was married at First Presbyterian Church and found them to be the epitome of God Is Love! The church staff was welcoming and accommodating to give couples and parents a "church" wedding that feels right for both generations. Not too many rules about music or ceremony, welcoming guest ministers. We used the church's minister and couldn't have been happier. The building is gorgeous on the inside and outside, great acoustics, an old fashioned church bell, and a great center aisle to walk down. I love all of my pictures and memories.
