A couple of weekends ago, David and I traveled to Ohio for the wedding of one of my dearest friends, Noel. She and I have been friends since she moved in next door to me my junior(?) year of college and I was honored to have her stand up in my wedding with me.
It was a pretty long trip for just a weekend - 12 hours
each way, with overnight stops in West Virginia - but David pulled over to let me pick flowers off the side of the road along Route 35, so it brightened up the car a little.
Of course, the best part was seeing Noel and spending time getting ready with the girls. It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding with an absolutely gorgeous bride.
When I saw Noel all dressed and perfect, it took my breath away - no wonder Nate teared up when he saw her come down the aisle!
Getting situated for wedding party pictures:
Gotta love the bride and groom Twinkies with the cake!
And spending all that time with my groom, the sweetest
man I've ever met! I love going to weddings together because it reminds us of our wedding, not only the happiest day of our lives but the beginning of many happy days together. Nate and Noel's God-focused wedding reminded us of our own vows and our individual roles in our marriage with God as the center. It was a very sweet, although tiring, trip and we are so glad we were able to go.
