recently in a US church called 'the New Vision Full Gospel Baptist Church' in East

Vanessa and Twanna, who met as teenagers while singing in the choir at a church in
Jersey City over 30 years ago, were joined together before over 200 guests in Church.

listed as the pastor of worship and liturgy at Rivers of Living Water Ministries located
on Manhattan, New York City while her 46-year-old wife, Vanessa Brown, is listed as a
senior pastor in the church.

At the well attended event, Twanna dressed in an off-white wedding gown and carrying a
bouquet of white roses and lilies.She was walked down the aisle by Bishops Levi Richards
and Eugene Gathers of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries after her father, Rev. Sam
Gause Sr, who pastors a Pentecostal Church in Atlanta, Georgia, rejected the same-sex
marriage wedding invitation by his daughter.

'My father would not come here because he does not believe in same-sex marriage,' Twanna
Gause said. 'He told me the devil tricked me into this, and that if we had been married
in biblical times, we would have been stoned to death'.

Twanna's father insist his daughter would have been stoned to death in biblical times

Twanna's father, Rev. Sam Gause Sr, who is not in support of the unusual matrimony said homosexuality as a mental disorder and that his daughter would have been stoned to death in biblical times.

“I believe that God wanted us to procreate through a natural process, and by no means am

I happy about this because it is unnatural, dissappointed Rev. Sam Gause Sr said. “I look at homosexuality as a mental disorder. If I start to tell you that I am an elephant, and start to behave as an elephant, that’s my choice, I choose to become an elephant. But you would probably choose to call a mental institution.

“She and her partner (Vanessa and Twanna) would have  would have been stoned to death in biblical times for the same sex marriage (or gay marriage).

How and where they met

Twanna narrates how it began saying, “I was only 16 and she (Vanessa) was 18 we were
both in the choir then. I caught a glimpse of her while we were singing the Amazing
Grace Hymn, I was like, ‘Oh wow, what in the world, who’s that, she’s beautiful'.

“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. I was oblivious as to how Twanna was feeling. I looked at her as this
adorable, skinny little girl who I initially thought was so much younger than me, and I
had no idea that she liked me in any way other than as a friend.”
