A Covenant

Here's some long awaited photos of our wedding day. 

If I took the time to write all that the day meant to us and what it felt like I'd never get this posted. So you'll have to be content with photos. 

Needless to say, I couldn't stop laughing the whole day and my face ached by the end of the day. We both wouldn't have changed a single thing about the day and appreciated all our friends and family celebrating with us. 

Jared was a fantastic celebrant and we are thankful for the time he took to prepare us for marriage. 

The ceremony was just how we both wanted it, a service of praise to God and a reflection on the covenant promises of love toward us. 

The very first decision we made the night we were engaged was to have "May the Mind of Christ My Saviour" sung at our wedding. It reflected perfectly for us the attitude of relying on Christ to be the center of our marriage and keeping our focus on becoming more like Him each day.  

The best bridal party ever! Jason and Kirsty, our closest childhood friends. Wouldn't want to share these special moments with anyone else. 

Another request we had was the following reading, as we look forward to that day with great anticipation. 

Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

"Hallelujah!

For the Lord our God

the Almighty reigns. 

Let us rejoice and exult

and give him the glory,

for the marriage of the Lamb has come,

and his Bride has made herself ready;

it was granted her to clothe herself

with fine linen, bright and pure"

for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God."
