Larry and Ruby's Wedding

Last weekend was Larry and Ruby's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony, I especially liked the vows and the words of encouragement that the pastor shared.




































So sweet ....









































I love Devon's expression, so cute. He was also the life of the party in kids' land, all the girls wanted to dance with him!

















Ruby's vows were simple but really touching. A lot of what she said reflected the types of vows I would want to say. She promised to love him in all situations - when she's proud of him and even when she's disappointed in him. She said that he would always be #2 in her life because she's going to place God first. She ended with, 'I am proud to be your wife'. Wow. That's so powerful, and when I heard it and thought about it, I can't imagine myself saying it. I WANT to be able to say that on my wedding day, but I realized at that moment that it would have to be supernatural. In the natural, I am still too proud, critical, judgmental, and it's easier for me to focus on the faults rather than to just love unconditionally. It showed me that love really is a choice. You choose to love the person God has for you.
