There are only a few things to mention about this blessed day of my sister's. First, that I've never heard so many people say that they have never seen a more beautiful wedding in all their lives and second, the pastor was incredible! I had heard a lot about him, and I could see where both the negative and positive comments could result. He is blunt, straight-forward and doesn't care what people think of him. When I met him I felt the sweetness and earnestness of his spirit. He wants his children and their friends to make the best decisions and he is so clearly in touch with the Holy Spirit that when a young person is in danger of a bad decision, he doesn't withhold his input. He's also a linguist which impresses me to my toes!
I had to read the beautiful love chapter during the ceremony --1 Corinthians 13. It was a funny thing because I had read that verse a thousand times at least, I practiced it in the sanctuary the night before... but for some reason when I read it up there with those two crazy kids ready to tie the knot, I saw their love. I saw that God surrounded them whether they wanted Him to or not, and I saw God's beautiful desire for my sister and Igor to be unendingly joyous in their now-forever relationship. The verse struck me and I became emotional, but I don't think anyone noticed. I just pray that their love strengthens itself with the glue of Jesus for eternity.
