Because Weddings are Beautiful

My college friend, Amy got married this weekend. I find it a little funny that as we get older we categorize our friends (college, high school, work, gym, running, church).

But anyway...she was more beautiful than I could have imagined her to be and the wedding was lovely.

Something I think I've noticed though over the last few years of wedding attending is that unless you are part of the bridal party it's not so much that you are attending the wedding because you're going to get to talk to the bride a whole lot...you're attending because you're going to get to catch up with other friends (in this case my college friend, Kris). LOVED catching up with her. We missed having you there Michelle.




I love that no matter how many weddings I go to, they are all different and I always leave with a renewed hope in love, a renewed belief that marriage is God's plan (illustrated to us in the fact that Jesus' radiant bride is His church). A renewed faith that someday I'll be the one committing my life to someone incredible.
Amy, lovely and happy and beautiful. Your special day is one to remember.
