J&J Wedding: Part Two

Get ready kids this might be a long post, and there might be millions of pictures. But not before I tell you how amazing the ceremony at the wedding I was at was.

I've been to a lot of weddings and most of the time, I end up crying. I get really happy for people. It's no joke, taking that step towards committing to some one in such a way. Some how, I didn't cry at this wedding, I just smiled a lot. A lot a lot.

First of all, instead of bridesmaids carrying flowers, they carried their bibles, because after a brief sermon by the GROOM, that's right, the GROOM, they each read a verse.

The warmth and love that surrounded this couple and their wedding astounded me. The bride and groom tried so hard to point their wedding towards the Lord, and in my opinion they accomplished this. Not only did the Groom talk about the Jewish wedding customs, they worshiped with their wedding guests and offered communion to them as well.

How often do you see a couple stop their wedding ceremony to worship the Lord? My heart was so full of joy at this moment that I could hardly stand it.

After they worshiped together, and after the groom spoke, they offered to their guests Communion in a simple beautiful way.

So often you meet couples and brides that are very "this is all about me", I'll confess to being one of them, but this simple reminder that marriage is sanctioned by God went straight into my very heart.

So say that it was an honor to take pictures for this couple is silly, and not enough. It blessed me. Not just because I got the chance to be doing something I love to be doing, but because it convicted me to make sure that in all things, I am honoring the Lord.

And for the record, this is only the Part Two, there is still more to come, because the Bride, Mrs.Erwin, is a DANCER. So their reception was like a scene from a choreographed movie! I can't wait to show y'all more pictures!

Also check out my NEW WEBSITE! No joke, real life, it's there. :) mjaquesphotos.webs.com, it's still a work in progress and there's lots more to be done, but it's real. So now if you know anyone who needs to get some pictures done, tell them to go take a look, I'd love to start booking more sessions!
