A pretty and romantic garden wedding, with the presence of their beloved parents, relatives and friends to bless and share their happiness, Romance in the air, with laughters of my little cousins running around the playground, red carpet and flowers, are the footage of the wedding.
Under the blazing sun in the afternoon, everyone is waiting, especially the bridegroom. Sweating, but still remain in his white smart coat, with a smile on his face, nervously lingered around the front stage for his beloved wife-to-be. And finally, with the Canon und D in the air, the bride, under her pure white veil, emerged from the doorstep. Escorted by my handsome and fatherly uncle, approaching the bridegroom one step at a time on the red carpet. (Notice why there wasn't anyone sitting on the right side, it's too hot!)
"Yes, she is here...My bride..the smile on her face is for me..she blushes for me..her white wedding gown is for me..everyone is here for us.." These were all on his face. Yes, he waited for her, for life..(And here I am =PP)
Love is patience, it looks for a way of being constructive. It is not possissive; it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance. Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage. It is not touchy. It does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people. Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands while all else has fallen. This is the definition of love by God. It is an action, not a feeling.
The pastor told us that marriage is, in fact, the second most important decision for all of us, after the acceptance of Jesus Christ into our lives. Marriage maintains love. 'What God put together, let no man put asunder' God knows our decision, He knows who we will choose to marry. He knows us so well, our strength and our weakness. Hard times now and then of the newly weds are times for them to learn to love each other, as Christ loves the church. These are chances given by God for them to hold tight, hand in hand, to face the challenges in their lives. Yes, God will help us before we found our true loves, and God will help us more after we found ours.
The fortunate bridegroom finally received the bride's hand from my uncle, hold tight in his hand, they turned to the pastor. That was the beginning of their new lives, where the bridegroom were to take full responsibilities of his bride till the end of their lives. The father had passed his beloved daughter to him. Then, the pastor asked my uncle if he gives his consent for the marriage of his daughter, and my uncle said :"Yes, I do." Wow! This is awesome! With an exciting voice, they exchanged the marriage vows. "I take you to be my lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. As God is my witness, I give you my promise." This is soo sweet. And yes, they are!
The rings, signifying the covenant of a life time were with the pastor. He handed it over to bridegroom, and asked him to wear it on the bride's finger. And, finally, after everything was done, the pastor said:"Now, Richard (the bridegroom), you may do your first task as a husband." Aha, this is the romantic part! The bridegroom unveiled the bride, and kissed her..Aww...so so so so romantic...(oh well, they couldn't stop kissing after that, they really really couldn't help it! And everyone was laughing=PP)
She finally found her true love of life, and waited so long for this special day. And yes, she is beautiful..blessed by her parents and friends, awaiting for the new life with her husband, and yet, she knows, we will always be there for her when she needs us, as we are the witness of their marriage, and their love. Like me! ^^
