Good news, friends. I am officially a married woman! Aaron and I tied the knot on June 22nd in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The whole entire week was just perfect. Aaron's dad, who also happens to be the pastor at our amazing church,
Covenant Church International, performed the ceremony. Having Aaron's dad marry us made the ceremony even more special and meaningful.
Something else really special was the beautiful double rainbow we saw the night before our wedding on the way to the rehearsal dinner. Rainbows have special significance to Aaron's family. When Aaron's dad and mom were dating, they had prayed a lot about whether or not God was calling them to join their lives together. One day, when they were on their way to the beach, they were talking about what God wanted for their relationship, and they saw a huge, beautiful rainbow and believed it was a sign that God was confirming their relationship. When Aaron's mom passed away a few years ago, rainbows became especially meaningful. All three of Aaron's sisters and his dad have spotted rainbows during some big life events, confirming even further that their mom is smiling down on them. I always had wondered what Aaron's mom would have thought of me and wished that I had been able to meet her. When we spotted the beautiful, double rainbow the night before our wedding, it confirmed to all of us that God was with us, Aaron's mom was with us, and that she would have approved. :)
