He was worth the wait.
In honor of this love-y weekend, I wanted to share something special to me. This is a song written by our marriage counselors and sung while we took communion during our wedding.
I love that it is a direct call to Joe and I on experiencing marraige as God intended it. I also love the direct line to Joe because what wife doesn't love hearing how her husband is going to love on her??
To the Maker of us all
We ask your blessing now to fall
Upon these lives that joined as one
Holy Spirit, Father, Son
You have given annointing for this appointing
A cord of three strands is born
Let love be your guide
and in Jesus abide
Together share your lives and all your own
He will make in you His home
May He be all your hope and strength
For He's the Way, the Truth and Life
As you walk as man and wife
That you might stand someday and hear Jesus say
"Joe, you loved your wife like You love you"
Make His love abound
While in Him she's found
Be by her side pressing on
May the life you find
Be the living vine
As the Holy God leads you on and on
On and on
We ask your blessing now to fall
Upon these lives that joined as one
Holy Spirit, Father, Son
You have given annointing for this appointing
A cord of three strands is born
Let love be your guide
and in Jesus abide
Together share your lives and all your own
He will make in you His home
May He be all your hope and strength
For He's the Way, the Truth and Life
As you walk as man and wife
That you might stand someday and hear Jesus say
"Joe, you loved your wife like You love you"
Make His love abound
While in Him she's found
Be by her side pressing on
May the life you find
Be the living vine
As the Holy God leads you on and on
On and on

That is really nice. Love the picture-you look beautiful and so happy! Love that you remember you first kiss so well. :)
Love that song!
And as a total side note, how was taking your first communion together? ;)
Oh, yes! I should mention how special and sweet it was!
Except I forgot the juice and bread so we totally faked taking communion. And I had to inform Joe that his brother fainted and had to be carried out during the vows. Joe had no idea and half-shouted "What?!" during our "communion."
It was such an interesting wedding... :)
