There were so many wonderful things about that day: The way that God Himself brought two people together.
The assemblage of family, and friends from different circles, all gathered into one spot as witnesses.
Those beautiful little flower girls, enjoying their role to the max . . . twirling and smiling.
The dapper little ring bearer, carrying the ring pillow AND his mickey spoon.
The drop-dead gorgeous bride, shining like the sun.
The drop-dead handsome groom, with tears in his eyes as he beheld his bride.
That song. Oh, that song.
The F-16 fly-over.
The solemnity . . . the fun . . . the beauty.
And then there was the weather.
It was one of the wettest Octobers on record. The ten days prior to the 20th were rainy and cold. The sun? Nowhere in sight.
And then came the forecast. This is what it looked like on Wednesday:
And the forecast only improved as the week went on. As a matter of fact, it got up to around 80 degrees Saturday. EIGHTY degrees.God cracks me up.I'm quite certain He made sure it was rainy, stormy, wet, damp, cloudy, dark, etc, JUST SO He could show His sovereignty and power over creation. JUST SO He could reveal to Chris and Kate (and anyone else watching) just how much He loves them as He shined down on their day. JUST SO He would be glorified.
Yes, it was a grand day, indeed.
