Saturday I went to a wedding open house. Laura's daughter Marcey married 3 weeks ago on a cruise ship in Florida. The garden reception was lovely, relaxed, informal with plenty of time to visit, look at photos and albums and wish the happy couple well as they begin their new life together in St Petersburg, Florida. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!
The theme continues as I wistfully think of another friend who is getting married today on a beach in Florida. She had reached a place in her life where she never expected to marry. Life is filled with the unexpected! I'm so happy for Heather and can't wait to see pictures!
My own wedding memories stir. Today would have been our 29th wedding anniversary. I am choosing to remember all the goodness and know we are forever connected in spirit.
And....we are in the middle of planning my daughters wedding. My aim is to enjoy the journey, not get stressed and pray for a beautiful beginning to a long and happy marriage. It's all good, even when the plans change. Joy, all joy!
So, today, as I think of weddings past, present and future I remember these words from our wedding...
Where you go, I will go.
Where you lodge, I will lodge.
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
~~from the Book of Ruth
