It was the most perfect of days.......... As she turned the corner and walked toward him, his eyes beheld her beauty. No matter how hard he tried he could not contain his emotions. The tears began to fall. I will never forget it. The sheer sight of his bride allowed the love that filled his heart to spill out onto his face.
The look in his eyes said it all. “I’ve waited all my life for you.” It was a moment frozen in time. The groom saw his bride in all her splendor for the first time.
His face was a picture that spoke a thousand words. Finally the one he had longed for would become his. The wait was over.
Jesus seared the image of my son-in-law in my mind as He spoke to me. “One day that will be Me.”
There is one who waits at the end of the aisle for me. He’s counting down the days until we can be together. He is and will always be captivated with me. The fact is, I take His breath away. I am the bride He has been waiting for. So are you.
One day He will come. One day we will be together.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Revelations 19: 7.

Now this post made me cry. I had read earlier today your daughter Countney's blog and her account of how she first met her husband. Lovely love story...
Such purity, such tenderness.
They deserve each other. Dearest dear Julie, you have raised your daughters well.
I admire you. I rejoice with you. I am happy for you and your husband and Courtney...
Yes, someday, it will be out turn.

Julie,
I forgot to tell you... the pictures were lovely!
Everyone was glowing.
I know how much you put into this, so behind the scenes, maybe you have been tired... but I want to tell you you look lovely.
Of course, Courtney was the prettiest of them all. It's her day.
But David was glowing too!
I love your family!

Hi Julie. Weddings are so beautiful!
I just finished reading Bo's Cafe...IT WAS AWESOME! I am looking for a new read, I think I am going to order Truefaced, by the authors of Bo's cafe.
Let me know how your book is and I will let you know how mine is :)
Congratulation, on the wedding Bliss!!
Julie, I am sooo happy that it all turned out so wonderfully! What a wonderful picture that was captured of your son-in-law. What a precious promise from our sweet Savior that was inscribed on your heart and you have shared with us.
The pictures from the wedding are wonderful. Everything looked terrific. You looked stunning! I love the purple dress!!
Thanks for your comment on my blog and your congratulations! We are very happy and feel extremely blessed! Kelly
What a beautiful metaphor portraying Christ and His bride.
The wedding was truly one of the most touching services I have ever attended. Courtney was a beautiful bride and you were a gorgeous mother of the bride!
I was so blessed to be a part of the day!
Love you,

Speechless. One of my most favourite posts ever. The visual portrayed has gripped me. Powerful.
The pictures are beautiful.

Dear Julie, I thank God for this age of technology. Because of it I was a part of your beautiful daughter's wedding. As we followed your prayer requests and got to hear about the answers, it was amazing. And now this...this is precisely what I think of when I'm a part of a wedding. I can't wait for the day when I will walk to My Jesus clothe in His Righteousness and feel His embrace. Takes my breath away.
Also, thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog. We have been praying for your friend.
Blessings,
Leti

This is a great post! What a wonderful picture. You worded this beautifully. This should go in a scrapbook for them as a memory.
love this...so beautiful. I just finished Redeeming Love. on a wedding theme :-)
What a beautiful story. What a moving shot! And what a lovely setting for a wedding!
Oh, so beautiful! You write with passion, love, and faith.
And as Lidj, said, with purity and tenderness.
Your testimony at once brought love, appreciation, and conviction to me.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
In His Name,

Beautiful picture of our Bridegroom. I can't wait until the day we meet face to face. I know I will cry to see His tears of love!

I missed this post last time I was here. Oh my! How amazing and wonderful. Glad I took the time to read older posts today.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I think (hope) I'm slowly returning to the writing stuff I loved. A few more blog posts is part of that. Last year was hard with Jerry's heart stuff and the kids extra needs, but I'm starting to breathe again.
Always love to connect with you!
The picture of your son-in-law crying is beautiful. It made me cry! Thanks for sharing this post.
Loved this post on the bridegroom!
Beautiful family you have.
