Do You Remember Your Wedding Day?
Do you remember your wedding day? It’s okay to admit it if you don’t…
Mine in all honesty is somewhat of a blur. I remember taking pictures and greeting people as they arrived, but the ceremony itself is a little foggy. In fact I have no idea what the pastor spoke about. I’m sure it was a great message and was filled with wonderful tidbits of marital advice and scriptural substance, but for the life of me I can’t remember what he said.
I started thinking about this the other day as I was preparing the message for my sister’s wedding next weekend. I have the privilege to speak to family and friends about my sister and her fiance Joel, their love for Christ and His love for them and their marriage.
One of the things that I love about my sister and her soon to be husband is their desire to serve. They have a passion for missions and in fact met while teaching in Russia. It ultimately is this element of service that will be the foundation for my message for their wedding.
It is my hope that the words God speaks through me will accentuate the beautiful occasion by focusing on their desire to serve God by serving each other and those they come in contact with. And although my sister and Joel may only hear bits and pieces of what I say due to their excitement, I pray that perhaps someone in attendance will grab hold of a thought and allow it to impact the way they live their life.
After all there is no life, like a life lived in service to God.

I remember my wedding day very well. We had so much fun wish we could do it again every year.
I definitely remember it being a fun day, but there are parts that of it that I totally don’t remember.
I remember mine. It was on March 15, 2003. I was 20 years old. Right before we got started my friend said, “Beware the ides of March.”
LOL that’s classic! I remember chunks of my wedding but there are definitely parts that are a blur.
We were sooo young when you guys got married! I remember the double rainbow the night before, the narrow steps we stood on and how your cousin’s face was the same white as my shoes when we turned to recess down the aisle. HILARIOUS. It was great sunny day!
LOL I’m so glad Kevin was able to hang in there. I didn’t even realize he was having such hard time.
