This evening Daniel and I got to attend the wedding of our friends Alex and Margo. Margo is also my sister Dawn's niece, so we got to see a lot of family too!
As the sun set behind tall ever green trees Margo and Alex commited themselves to each other in front of their friends, family and their God. The ceremony was beautiful. The pastor who married them had them make commitments to the Lord first: to love Him above all others, to honor Him and to glorify Him in their lives. It was so touching and God honoring to see this couple put Jesus Christ as the head of their lives and their marriage. I had never been to a wedding where the couple made vows to God before they made their vows to each other. Amazing!
After the wedding we enjoyed a fun reception with great food, great people and great music. It was a very new feeling just to attend a wedding. Being a photographer and the fact that i used to be a florist for weddings, means there are very few weddings that i get to just be a guest. I loved getting to sit next to my husband and hold his hand as we watched another couple get married. I know we were both remembering our wedding day and all the emotions that we had that day. I loved getting to enjoy all the little moments, and not be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. However I was glad i brought my camera and was able to capture a few of the details for Margo. I am hoping to make her a little memory book of these photo's so she can have them soon. I know it takes a while to get your wedding photo's, so this way she has some to show people.
Thank you Margo for letting us be a part of your very special day! I hope and pray that the Lord blesses you and Alex with a long and loving marriage spent honoring your Savior!
