I wasn't married there, but the church and the song hold very fond memories for me. I grew up in Iowa and my father used to sing religious songs to me like The Old Rugged Cross and one of my favorites, although not really a religious song, was The Little Brown Church in the Vale. My dad would have me sing it in rounds with him like singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat, only it started out Come Come Come Come...Come to th church in the wild wood, Come to the Church in the Vale.... When I was a little older I was surprised when my dad told me that there really was a Little Brown Church. Later on it was so neat to finally see the church my dad had been singing to me about all those years.

It is a very special place and I am happy for you on renewing your vowes again in such a special place and such a special state. Congratulations and thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us.
