I can’t help it.
That’s who I am.
I cry at weddings.
I cry at romantic comedies. I cry
when I see an elderly couple holding hands.
Yeah, that’s me. That girl. And tonight was no exception.
For the first time I saw a proposal in real life. I know that sounds dumb, but I’ve never seen
anyone propose to anyone before. So
tonight, as I watched my buddy propose to the love of his life, I cried. It was such a beautiful moment.
God gave
me a gift in having two different friends at two different times become engaged, because
I am able to experience perspectives from both the bride side and the groom
side. Of all the feelings I felt—shock,
fear, joy, glee, nervousness—the greatest was this sense of radiating love. Deep, pure, dedicated love.
That must be how God feels about us. Just this magnificent, strong, powerful,
unyielding love. We’re the bride of
Christ and He’s our groom. And if
marriage here on earth is just a sampling, phew…can you imagine? Man, that’s a lot of love.
Love exists. Don't be fooled.
Love exists. Don't be fooled.
I am so happy for them, and look forward to sharing in
their lives together for years, and years, and years to come :) Thank You, God, for letting me be a part of something so special tonight! Please bless their marriage, and give them patience during this next year apart.
