love will take us where, something's beautiful

ya its been a while, but never mind about that. on saturday i was privileged to be in attendance at the marriage of shannon kennedy and michael hoyt. it was an absolutely wonderful wedding filled with so much laughter, joy, tears, love, and happiness.

definitely the smallest, but most intimate wedding i've ever been to. as any young girl probably does, i've been thinking about my marriage since i understood the meaning of the word. don't get me wrong, i still think about it, in fact we all (the girls all young at heart) spent a fairly large portion of saturday discussing what our weddings would be like. it's such an exciting time of celebration and there is really no better way to describe joy than at a wedding. it is really impossible to be upset in any way because the bride and groom are bursting and overflowing with joyous emotions. there is so much love and tenderness that you can't get angry. weddings seem to have an almost addictive feeling. you wish you could just stay in this state of sheer wonder and awe of true, pure love and the amazing joy, not happiness, but joy that it gives off to all those who are around it. this is truly what i saw in shannon and mike and their families. of course they were reflecting the only true love that we know, that of jesus christ. but they were excellent representatives. their love, and now marriage is and i believe will be inspiring. may i now offer congratulations and gratitude.
