Weddings, proposals and bridal magazines...
There's something about them that just spark something within me... They make me smile... they warm my heart. It could be that I'm a sucker for "happily ever afters"... It might be that I love to see God's thumb print amidst a couple's "signature" stamped on their relationship... their proposal story... their wedding. It is uniquely theirs........ and it is uniquely beautiful :-)
Maybe the beauty rests in the overall reflection... Marriage, after all, is one of those biblical 'mysteries' that derives it beauty from its function of illustrating a trinitarian truth. It also reminds us of our heavenly Bridegroom and His bride-to-be, the church. Further, each story attests to God's sovereignty... orchestrated by a divine hand... God is an expert at matchmaking... After all, He has literally MADE/created both people individually and then, as they continue on their journey through the adventure called "life", He MATCHES them together when the time is right.
I just love these kinds of stories... I don't know why..... Or maybe I do. : )
Ultimately, they are near and dear to my heart and I can't help but smile..... and sigh... ^_^
