I went to a wedding today. It was simple, classy, beautiful. I have never been to a wedding where the father officiates at the marriage of his daughter. It was lovely. It made the Father/daughter dance all the more poignant.
I was really touched by all the sincere inquiries into Heather's journey and health. To chat with old friends, grownup kids, family. The best part was to be able to say, with complete conviction, that Heather is where the Lord would have her to be right now. To share the joy in the journey. Content that she is where she is.
I long one day to watch as my daughter gives her heart away in marriage. I believe this journey is one of the stepping-stones that may lead to that very special day. So I am content to wait. A long time if necessary, until God puts that person in her path, and opens her eyes to behold him.
A good day.
I still prefer to attend weddings with Heather, though.

How sweet and touching the ceremony must have been.
I can only imagine how much I'll cry at the girls weddings. I'm so lame now that I cry at weddings on tv. It's the whole sanctity and...I just can't describe it. It just touches my heart.
Anyway, I'm glad you got to enjoy it.
Me, too.
Joy should be shared with those we love.
You'll definitely be in the first row!
I agree with you Mamma.
This trip is helping me realize all of the things I still need to learn to get ready for marriage.
I am so glad that you were able to go to the wedding, it must have been nice to see everyone.
Your posting made think of that glorious day when the Father presents His bride to the Groom. I can't wait for that day!!
I am already praying for God to prepare and bring into Heather's life a man after His own heart - in His perfect timing.
