Wow i cant believe its finally here. How many times I have gone to wedding after wedding shooting and documenting one of the most amazing days in other peoples lives and now its finally here for me.. Its kind of surreal. actually is really surreal. In 2 days I am going to marry the girl of my dreams and I couldn’t be happier! The latest weather has thrown quite a monkey wrench in our planning and preparing but God has continually been faithful to provide. Regardless if the sun is going to be there on Saturday we know that the SON will be and we couldn’t be happier. We just finished up our rehearsal dinner tonight and I had to write just a little something about it.
As I was just sitting there in the middle of all the noise and commotion, listening to the sound of laughing and old story telling, I took a look around the room and couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. Not with stress or anxiety for the wedding day and all the details still left to do. I was overwhelmed by God’s goodness and His ability to enrich and bless our lives, continually, in fact, throughout our lives. This was so evident sitting at the table surrounded by friends and family members that have all entered into our lives through different times. Different stages when we needed them most. Times when I needed their encouragement, others when I needed their honesty. All in all, they have all played a very unique and important part of helping me get to where I am today. Psalm 37:23 says “The Lord directs the steps of the godly and delights in every detail of their lives.” As I took a look around the crowded room, absorbing and taking in all I could, my eyes always seemed to gravitate back to my beauty. my bride to be. I was just amazed, left in awe. Not just by her outward beauty but how she completely compliments me. Reminded by how blessed I am to have such a wonderful woman to cherish for all the days of my life. And to think that I met her 10 years ago. I had no idea then that later on she would become my wife. I hoped.. but had no idea.. I cant help but think that God was just smiling at me back then when He heard my prayers.. I could just hear Him saying “one day Brandon.. soon enough
Its so cool to be able to see it all come together.. little by little the glimpses of the big picture He reveals to us.
Now as we make the final preparations and the transition from single life into married life, I am just amazed by all the loves ones God has put into our lives right here and now than will help strengthen, encourage, and help keep us to the path of a successful relationship. I am excited for the journey, for the stories, for the excitement and the adventure. I thank God for the hand picked woman he made for me. I couldn’t think of anyone else I would rather enjoy the ride of life with. I love you Kris. I cant wait!
