Joe + Rebekah | Part II

filed in:

As Rebekah began to get ready, she tried to get a look at Joe as she peeked through the multi-paned windows of St. John’s Episcopal Church.  This church was so old.  It creaked with every step but it was also filled with an abundance of character.  It was the perfect setting for Rebekah and Joe’s ceremony.  Formal, yet simple. Classic, yet unique. Nothing extravagant.  It was so apparent that Rebekah just wanted to become Joe’s wife and start a new life with him.  That was all that really mattered.  I’m convinced that if the flowers were the wrong color, the ceremony was off schedule, and it was storming outside, Rebekah would not have cared.  She just wanted to marry the love of her life, her best friend.  If the flowers looked gorgeous and the ceremony ran perfectly, well, that was just an added bonus!

.

Rebekah’s simple, genuine spirit makes it so clear why Joe would fall for her.  She’s so pure at heart.  As I witnessed that two of them become husband and wife I couldn’t help but tear up…. just a little!! Give me a break! This stuff if so precious! Marriage is PRECIOUS! And when I get the opportunity to watch a new one begin, where the Lord is the center of it, it rocks my world.  What a beautiful experience to be a part of.  It was such a privilege to capture Rebekah and Joe’s love for one another a couple weeks ago.  I loved every minute of it!!

.

Rebekah and Joe, I wish you the VERY best in your new marriage! God bless you! I hope Alaska was AMAZING!
