A Great Decision

I'm rushing to prepare the Agenda for our Word facilitators but I couldn't start because I stumbled upon her and this. It's amazing and it is one of the best decisions I have made - to make her my wedding photographer (of course, another one being marrying him).

So what have I learnt from the wedding? These:

1. that if you set out choosing to be happy on your day, you will realize that a lot of things do not matter. All that matters is that you are happy and that makes your friends happy too;
2. that if you learn to relax and laugh at near tragedies, you will enjoy your day better (we agreed to laugh at everything that goes wrong);
3. that God is still in control and He knows your heart's desires (I was in charge of decorations and was unsure if it would turn out right - this was my right brain working - but it turned out even better);
4. that's its ok if you lose your bulletins the night before the wedding although you had stayed up with him till 3am the day before to get them printed;
5. that your friends are wonderful people - they are there for you for so many things you forget to do or say, and you realize, you love them even more;
6. that you should be yourself - just because its a wedding does not mean it has to be Martha Stewart approved;
7. that it will never turn out exactly the way you want it - it usually turns out even better when you trust that God will be there with you;
   
8. that whatever said and done, your family loves you;
9. that you suddenly realize that you love him so much more than you thought;
10. that whether you feel it or not, God is blessing you with so many things you do not see... until later.

On my wedding day, I remember:

1. Praying together before he arrived;
   
2. Waiting in my room with her, and sharing how I felt, which relaxed me a lot;
3. Waiting in the car and having her with me (I love you so much);
   
4. Looking once again at the wonderful church decorations we had spent so much time making;
5. Having a brilliant worship team (the most wonderful one, if I may say so) and a singing my heart out to God;
6. Having him on the piano;
7. Having the Pastor we love officiate our wedding;
   
8. Looking into his eyes as we said our vows (I didn't cry - yay!);
9. Watching the bubbles floating through the air while we walked out;
10. Smiling until my jaws froze.

There are so many more things I remember. It was a wonderful day. I had so much fun and I hope my friends did too. She named it the wedding festival, and I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me.

Now, on to the marriage bit.......
