Weddings


I love weddings. They are such happy, hopeful occasions. Love is in the air. The bride and groom are overwhelmed with romance and wonder. Families celebrate the joy. Friends share the love and the excitement. People travel from around the country to be together for the celebration. Weddings are just fun. Of course there is the whole serious side of the wedding that this couple is promising to share a lifetime together. It is a serious commitment. It is just a beautiful occasion.
This past weekend we joined our good friends Tim and Julie as their son Cory married his sweetheart. He and Brittaney seemed so happy. It was wonderful to see two families come to bless this young couple and to celebrate together.
Congratulations Cory and Brittany! God bless you on this new journey of life.

It was a sweet wedding. Worth every minute of the 18 hours in the car.

As you might guess, I go to a lot of weddings, and I never tire of them. (The parties are sometimes boring for me, but I love the ceremony.)

When performing weddings, DH follows the wisdom shared years ago by a wise clergy wife: "No one goes to a wedding to listen to the pastor." So he keeps his remarks short and sweet.

Isn't it funny how the groom usually looks a little nervous at a wedding? My usually self-assured son seemed quite bewildered/awe-struck by the whole affair. It made me feel proud for some reason.
