Check out photos from the wedding two 45 and 46-year-old female pastors in New York
The pictures of two female pastors have gone viral on social media after the news of their wedding hit the internet.
46-year-old Twanna Brown and 45-year-old Gause are both pastors of Living Water United Church of Christ. They met at a church in Jersey City and were both in the choir.
According to Emmy Felix who shared the news on his Facebook profile, it was reported that Brown and Gause were raised in a religious home.

Felix’s post reads: “Ms Brown, 46 and Ms Gause, 45 both pastors of Rivers of Living Water United Church of Christ which has locations in Newark and New York, heard much softer words on their wedding day while holding hands before the Rev Dr Yvette Flunder, the presiding bishop of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, who read from the First Epistle to the Corinthians. ‘Twanna and I go way, way back,’ Brown said. Once upon an Amazing Grace, two choir girls met at a church in Jersey City, and before one of them could clear her throat to sing, she thought she had already caught a glimpse of heaven. ‘I was like Oh wow what in the world, who’s that, she’s beautiful,’ Gause recalled, who was then a 16-year-old living in Paterson, N.J. ‘I immediately felt this kind of strange, warm feeling wash over me and though I had not yet spoken a word to her, I could see myself loving this woman forever. My head was just spinning.’

Brown, then 18 and living in New York, was not struck by the same thunderbolt. Both grew up in religious families. ‘My father didn’t take it too well,’ Gause said. Indeed, they were still in Atlanta two days later, when Mr Gause, carrying a large King James Version of the Bible, confronted them in the lobby of the hotel where the conference was being held. ‘He slammed the Bible down on a table and said to us, ‘Did you all read this book?’ Gause said. ‘He was furious. Don’t get me wrong, I still love him. I still call him on birthdays and holidays and special occasions, though he never picks up the phone. Maybe one day he will realize that nothing has really changed with me except for the fact that I've found my perfect soul mate, and he’ll feel like talking to me again. But no matter what my daddy says about me or what he thinks of me, he knows down deep, deep inside that I’ll always be his little girl.”
