Spencer's wedding was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I'm so glad I got to be apart of it! As expected, I cried a couple times throughout the ceremony, but when it really hit me was when Spencer and John kissed...of course I was happy, but it was just another one of those "It's really happening here and now!" moments. I have to say, Spencer looked absolutely GORGEOUS. I can't believe I got to see my sister in her wedding dress. All my life, I always knew that she looked forward to her wedding, and I often had the pleasure of listening to her plan it, even long before there was a man in her life ;-) And now, I finally got to see her living the happiest day of her life. She looked so happy when she was walking down the isle, and her eyes immediately went to John, of course ;-)
So many wonderful things happened today, I couldn't begin to list them all. I loved getting to see / talk to so many wonderful people during the reception. I loved hanging out with my sisters, mom and the women helping the wedding while getting ready. More than anything, I loved seeing my sister so happy. Thank you, God, for blessing my sister with such a lovely wedding and such a godly man!
Spencer and John, congratulations!!! I'm SO excited that you guys are walking through the rest of your lives together! I love you guys so much, and may God bless you in your marriage!!
Mark 10:8-9: "...they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
(I must give thanks to the many girls who were so sweet and caring to me, including my good friend Abbie, who has been ready and willing to give me comfort and a shoulder to cry on :-) Thank you, God, for blessing me with such wonderful friends!)
Wasn't it wonderful!?!? I loved it all. I am so happy for them, that they found each other so young and have so many years ahead to celebrate their love for one another. I got to visit with a number of women that I knew 20 years ago that now have children who are friends with my nieces. We had 19 family members covering five generations shared a meal together afterwards!!!! That was so much fun...I just wish I had remembered my camera. That kind of thing isn't likely to happen again for a very long time. All in all it was a beautiful wedding and a wonderful time, I wouldn't have changed a thing about the day.
Indeed it was a lovely, happy day! God's grace and favor were so evident throughout the ceremony and celebration, and particularly in the joyful faces of John and Spence. {happy sigh}
It was wonderful, and so cool to see so many of my friends and family members all at once! I miss you ladies back at my old home :( Jordan, I miss being able to bug you all the time ;)
I love being married to my hubby!
by the way, I am really enjoying the portable sounds music you put on my ipod! it's awesome. I keep on catching myself saying "mamamamamama" ;)
