It is incredible how much a wedding affects me. The utter significance of the moment and the bringing together of two into one is a beautiful thing. Yesterday I had the privilege to attend the wedding of Chris and Nikki Tripputi. It was a gorgeous church with a sanctuary full of stain glass and sunlight shining through. Weddings simply bring happiness. And people need that. God gave us the gift of laughter and tears of joy, and a heart-warming experience is a necessity.
The union also is a perfect reminder that we are the bride of Christ. The feelings that I held at the ceremony came forth several times when I would look around the room and see everyone's shining faces. I can not wait for the day when I will be standing with my Jesus (hopefully I won't be in a dress, and if I am, I hope it's a cute one) at the heavenly alter to be united with Him forever.
I know for sure at my wedding dancing is going to happen. I'm not a wedding planner or anything so I have no idea what is standard, but I know there will shuffling of feet and awkward movements to some kind of musical sound and we shall call it "dancing". But the awesome thing about that is not how good you look, but how much fun you are having. You can't be having the time of your life and not be willing to look silly. Having said this, let me tell you that Shawn Tripputi can freakin dance! He has been blessed with that type of movement, so for him it is a win-win situation where he can have a blast and showcase his talent.
I know there will be dancing in heaven. I can't wait.
Don't act like I didn't see you dancing like a champ! lol Much love man, much love.
