For labor day weekend, Davis and I flew to Charlottesville Virginia for my brother's wedding. I was able to leave a few days before Davis and had a little extra time with my family. All three of my siblings now live in C'ville, I am the odd ball out in Utah.
I love weddings. A vivid illustration of Christ's love for his people. Fellowship with friends and family. Sharing old memories while building new ones. Families growing in commitment and love. Happy Crying. Dancing. Food. So much beauty happens around weddings.
Of course there is the stress and whirlwind of activities. This wedding was great, it never felt self centered or too stressful. The bride and groom obviously wanted a gospel centered celebration and it showed. So lovely. It was also special to me because finally another sibling got married. I love seeing friends enter into marriage but it is even more special to have a sibling get married. It made my heart so joyful to see my brother commit his life to his lovely bride, a promise to love selflessly. Also, attending weddings being married helps remind of us of our own love and commitment. It's an encouragement to remember we love Christ first and find our satisfaction in him, thus enables us to love with a servants heart.
