The first pictures and congratulations started appearing on Facebook on April 23 and then Rebecca St. James posted on Facebook and Twitter: "Today has been a very special day for which I have waited a long time. I married the love of my life, Jacob. Thank you so much for your prayers and support." Word was out--Nashville's Rebecca St. James was now a married woman.
The GRAMMY Award winning Christian singer, known for her dedication to purity and her self-written signature song "Wait For Me," married Jacob Fink on Saturday (4/23), in a ceremony held at the Junipero Serra Museum in San Diego, California. The noon wedding vows, including self-written commitment vows the couple wrote to each other, were the centerpiece of an intimate ceremony attended by 150 of their closest relatives and friends.
Rick White, Rebecca’s long time pastor at the People’s Church in Franklin, Tennessee and Chris Schmaltz, the youth pastor who influenced Jacob’s decision for Christ as a teen and provided ongoing spiritual guidance including marriage counseling for the couple, both officiated at the marriage. David & Helen Smallbone gave their lovely daughter away at the cremony.
During the ceremony, the couple’s exchanged the purity rings each had worn prior to their marriage, and the bride and groom washing each other’s feet before their wedding guests to celebrate their commitment to serve each other. Special music included the song You Make Everything Beautiful co-written by St. James and included on her recently released praise & worship album I Will Praise You. (Reunion Records/Provident Label Group). It was sung for the bridal couple and their assembled guests by the bride's brothers, Joel & Luke Smallbone.
Rebecca’s long time spiritual mentor and close personal friend, Evie Tornquist Karlsson, following the wedding noted: “This was a glorious day of celebration! A marriage ceremony where from beginning to ending Jesus was the absolute focus and the special guest of honor of the bride and groom.”
