On Saturday, the day before Easter,
I had the privilege of watching my husband marry
a sweet couple from our church.
It was a very small gathering of about 15,
including the bride and groom's families
and a couple of their close friends.
Unlike any other wedding I have been to,
this one was in a public place.
As many turned their heads to watch,
we walked through a beautiful park on the water
to a quiet grove that was surprisingly private.
The pastor gave an exhortation to Philip and Charyl
that their marriage was to "Reflect the Glory"
of our Creator to a watching world.
It reminded me of the message given by my father-in-law,
15 years ago at our wedding!!
So sweet and powerful to witness
their confessions of this new love and covenant
and to be reminded of my vows to my dear man.
What an honor to be part of such an event.
The Lord was SO gracious, and the day was a perfect "San Diego" day
:: clear skies and 65 degrees ::
So amazing, especially in light of the fact
that there has not been a day like that this entire spring
in the great Northwest...
Congratulations Philip and Charyl!!
Wonderful...you captured the moment very well!!!
