They opted to see each other, and pray, before the festivities began… a “first look” that allowed them an intimate, peaceful moment before the fun began. She held her breath, it was visible to me… and at the end of the long church aisle she stood waiting, anticipating, holding tightly to her beautiful bouquet. The entire church was in absolute silence, as if the memories of unions past and future met in reverence, as if God gave a sweet and holy hush to this moment…her eyes opened..not a sound but she moved forward, slower, then faster as her dress swish, swish, swished quietly…she walked down the aisle and his eyes followed her every move, both looking into each other realizing the brevity of the moment. Their hands finally met, and they stood silently looking into each others eyes, as the light streamed into the room from the window, at the front of the aisle where they would soon become man and wife. It was one of few times we truly felt we were there, but not. Our presence was unnecessary, and unnoticed, but for the moments we can now share with Melanie and Alan, and the world. It was beautiful, and as we left, they began to pray over the ceremony that would begin, and their new marriage that was about to start.
The wedding was full of love, and God was so present and visible throughout the ceremony. Melanie request praise and worship songs be sung and we did. The mood was joyous, the love flowed over, not just for one another, but for our Heavenly Father. It was, lovely.
There were many amazing vendors that had a part in this special day…
James Bond, of Diamond Oaks Country Club provided a fabulous place for the reception, overlooking gorgeous trees and a golf course with huge windows, it was beautifully picturesque. Birdville Baptist Church provided a grand and lovely place for the ceremony, while associate Pastor Brian Watson beautifully officiated.
Ocone’s dress shop in Fort Worth is where the bridal gown, the bridesmaid’s dress, and the flower girl’s dress, Al’s Formal Wear provided the tuxedo’s, Bice’s Florist created the flower arrangements, as well as Doris Rodriguez, a very talented lady indeed! The DJ services were expertly provided by Mike Long. Chris Swinney led the worship during the ceremony.
Donna Sagebiel created the gorgeous bridal cake, and Lee’s Creek Grocery baked the delicious grooms cake.
Congratulations Melanie & Alan and your beautiful families!
