Chris August Tied the Knot with Katelin Cummings

Singer and songwriter Chris August has tied the knot over the weekend with Katelin Cummings. We extend our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. August. 

Sharing on social media, he said: "I would say yesterday was amazing, but that would be an understatement. I would say it was life changing, but that's a given. Other than giving my life to Christ, it was the best day and the most awesome decision I've ever made." 

"As you can see in this photo, I couldn't stop smiling. The reason? She's standing next to me. A true blessing. During his speech at the toast, one of my best friends, Bryan Kluger, said 'many people say your wedding day is the best day of your life. Well, I hope that each is better than the last, making today actually the worst day of your life.' We all laughed because it's funny, but it's very true as well. I married my best friend last night and I got to have so many of my friends and family there to celebrate it with me," he added.

August concluded, "I'm truly thankful for everyone that came to be a part of it. I'm thankful for the sacrifices they made to be there. The costs. Their time. THANK YOU! Lastly, thank you to everyone who has been praying for us leading up to this day, and for the prayers you continue to bring to the Lord. We are striving to be more like Him every day. Loving the way He loves. I love you, Katelin!"
