The wedding went off without a hitch... it was one of the most beautiful displays of love and affection that I have seen between two people in love. It was my daughter's wedding to her boyfriend of 7 years. She was happy to finally tie the knot with the love of her life and so was he. They had a beach wedding at sunset. The day had been beautiful, cool and breezy. The sun set in a glorious blue/orange display... one of those rare bright orange sunsets that everyone stands in awe of, the kind of sunset that keeps you staring until the very last glimmer of light dips into the horizon.
The bridal party consisted of the bride and groom, maid of honor and best man, and two more sets of bridesmaids/groomsmen. They walked in a procession between drapes of tulle and deep purple hydrangeas through the soft silky sands of Clearwater Beach and to promise themselves in love to each other for life. My daughter was beautiful in her hand made wedding dress that she meticulously spent hours designing and constructing. My adorable son-in-law broke into tears halfway through his vows and that started the tears rolling down everyone's cheeks. It was a beautiful ceremony in a breathtaking setting amongst family and special friends who have shared their lives the most closely. It feels good to know that their union is now set before God and everyone. They are one, they are in love. That is the most that I could have wished for my daughter... that she find true love, and I believe she did. I wish them the absolute best that life can give them and I pray that the love they have today for each other only continues to grow throughout the years as they continue their journey through life together.
