Weddings, Weddings, Weddings

Don't you just love a good wedding?   What makes a good wedding is up to the viewer, but watching two people commit to live together in holy matrimony till death do they part is a good thing.  We have been blessed by being invited to several weddings this year, each with their own flare, beauty and mishaps.  As women, many of us tend to start planning our wedding at a young age.  We think about the colors, the dress, the line, the ceremony, the groom, the venue etc...  I love big weddings but I also enjoy small weddings.  It is a celebration of love and hopefully a love based on shared faith and love in God.  We have been to outside weddings and inside weddings this year.  Inside weddings are wonderful because you can control the weather, but outside wedding are generally so beautiful.  So much time and effort goes into most weddings and with it is, a helping of stress and maybe a little drama to dot the path.  The outcome of all the preparation is hopefully a beautiful wedding.  The wedding is only the start, the marriage lasts a lifetime.  I look at these lovely couples embracing the mystery of marriage and pray that God will bless and direct their marriage.  The wedding is but a day the marriage is for life.

 May the joy for all of us who are married not end on the day we say "I do" but continue to the "death do us part."  Today is another wedding for us to attend and this past week we have two new engagements.  There is still love in this world.  God is good, have a great day.
