Being the sentimental soul that I am, I couldn’t let today pass without giving a quick shout out to my best friend in all the world and her wonderful husband! Happy 1 year anniversary to my twin sis and my bro-in-law!
I woke up this morning, sat down to journal and realized that one year ago today, we were getting primped for an incredibly special event. My Best Friend’s Wedding…not the movie but the real deal. It was a day that I had both dreaded and anxiously awaited for a long time. Dreaded because it meant relinquishing my role as her best friend. Anxious because it meant an exciting, faith-filled, adventure heavy, thrilling and sharpening journey for my best friend. I stood with them at the altar and cried as they made their vows to one another. Tears of joy, admiration and agreement. The union they were making was one before God and one that I whole heartedly supported. What a fun place to be…feet planted next to your closest friend since before birth as she stands with her back to you and her face to her groom, the man she will join hands with for the rest of her days. That, my friends, is a day for rejoicing!
Today, 365 days later, they are happily married and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the third and newest member to their family (an unexpected surprise for their first year of marriage). This year has flown by at exponential speed but I can still remember the joy I felt that day when I stood next to her. A joy that was mixed with the sweetest sorrow as I handed my baton to the man facing me on that stage. That day will forever be one of the sweetest in my memories.
Beth and David, Happy One Year Anniversary! What a joy it has been to watch you do marriage this year and to see how your love for each other continues to unfold. I love you both more than words can express! Hoping today is one of great celebration and praise for the One who has blessed it all!
Happy Monday!
