A Wedding To Remember

On Sept 1st, 2018 our daughter married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life . It was truly a joy to be a part of such a beautiful ceremony. It seemed like only yesterday she was playing dress up in her grandma's long dresses and now she looked like a beautiful princess dressed in her own wedding gown.

There were many moments of tears of joy and laughter. Watching the way they looked at each other while saying their vows was truly a very beautiful and touching moment. One that I will cherish in my heart forever. It was very evident to everyone, their love for each other was very real and genuine. 

The reception gave my husband and I the opportunity to officially welcome our son-in-law into the family, even though we had welcomed him into our home and hearts 12 years ago, he already felt as part of the family. 

 At the entrance of the loft where the ceremony took place was a “Welcome” sign that said, “Take a seat, not a side, we are all family once knot is tied ”. It really reflected the atmosphere of the families that attended. We even had friends and relatives comment on how they noticed the families got along and everyone mingled.

As a believer I wonder if there will be a sign at Heaven’s lofty gates that will say, “Take a seat, not a side, we are all family once Christ’s bride “

I look forward to everyone mingling and getting along. No segregation or bias based on denominational beliefs or past mistakes. How wonderful it will be when we look into the eyes of our loving Heavenly Father and feel a love that is real, and genuine. I believe there will be tears of joy and laughter as we, the bride of Christ celebrate  with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Something to cherish in our hearts now and forever. Amen! Let it be so!

Romans 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
 Isaiah 62:5 
As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
