Wedding Memories

My daughter & son-in-law celebrate their wedding anniversary today!  Funny how the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is that she's an awesome mom with 4 beautiful children, a wonderful & hard-working husband - she's a high-energy nurse, and best of all loves the Lord Jesus.

I don't think a whole lot about their wedding day.

I know she looked beautiful in her wedding dress - but, she's beautiful. Period.  Who did her hair? What earrings did she wear? Honestly, I can't even remember what the cake tasted like.

Weddings are nice. They're a celebration. But, it's the marriage that matters - not the dress & flowers & cake with all the trimmings.

Have a wonderful marriage, loving each other & building each other up as long as you live!!

  2. A thoughtful post on what is important. The dress is only worn once, the marriage lasts forever.

  3. I wish more people remembered this. The wedding industry has made too much of the first 6 hours of a marriage. So happy for your family and the wisdom you have.
