Day 3 of 40 - Wedding Day

 


Rae and Sam's wedding reflected much intentional planning on. They took time to choose meaningful songs of worship, to take pictures with each table at their reception, and to hand out plates of brownies instead of a traditional receiving line. I can't wait to observe the impact this couple will certainly make on their community.


Spending the 3rd day of our 40 day celebration playing our cellos together seemed fitting, considering we met in middle school orchestra class. We have a heart for marriages to thrive and to share the things we have learned in our own journey of marriage.


Sarah called the Virginia Reel, and for the first time ever, I got on the dance floor. We joined a group of young couples, including the bride and groom, who knew what they were doing. Since I'm not light on my feet, I needed the extra support they provided :)


Everyone we talked to kept telling us what a joy and a blessing Sarah is to them. Every. Single. Person. And we totally agree.


After she called the square dancing, line dancing took over. Watching her exuberance and life was contagious. You just can't help but smile.


We finally returned to the hotel, full of good barbecue and laughter, knowing we had a long drive back home the next day. In addition to the many hours on the road, a cold front pushed us home. I'm not sorry to live south of the Mason-Dixon line. These single-digit temps made me extra thankful for our modern conveniences to help keep us warm!
