A Wedding

I feel like it was just yesterday that we were dreaming about today.  We were little girls, awkward and unsure.  And we stayed up until 3 am talking about life and love and wedding dresses and eating too much chocolate and laughing until our sides ached.  And of course, we were the "Chicks With Guns."

And now we're all grown up.  We're scattered accross the country, working and studying and living life.  We're learning and growing and making mistakes and meeting new people and becoming who we will be.  And the time is flying by.

And we aren't just dreaming about weddings any more.  Now one of us is married.  I have never seen her look so beautiful.  When she walked down the aisle, I had to catch my breath.  And when she she said "I do," I cried.  To see Jim and Cassie is to see God's hand at work.  I was honored to be a part of their wedding,  And I am honored to know them.

God bless you two.

For Cassie, who found her Abraham

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
-King Solomon

All glorious is the princess within her chamber
Her gown is interwoven with gold.
-The Sons of Korah

I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation.
It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
-Mr. Darcy

She walks in beauty like the night... And on that cheek, and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent
The smiles that win, the tints that glow
But tell of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all below
A heart whose love is innocent -Lord Byron

Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting
But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
-King Solomon

My beloved is mine, and I am his.
-Song of Solomon
