June Weddings Rule The Little Brown Church
In Nashua Iowa pastor Rev John Christy heads a busy 136 member church that hosts up to a thousand weddings annually and draws about 150000 visitors a year. The church famed by the Weatherwax Brothers song has long welcomed weddings since WWII with 732 last year and as many as 1000 in peak years. Christy notes the process aims to honor the couple without pushing or rushing them while managing heavy administrative demands and public inquiries daily.
