Skittles. Hand- thrown Raku vases. “Butterfly Kisses.” Smith and Westin. Heritage. Best friends. Tears. Laughs. Hand-written vows. Family. Tri-tip. Sunflowers. Sunshine. Crisp mountain air. I was all this that was combined together to create one of the most memorable events in my family, and quite frankly, in my own life. So much hard work and planning went into making it a special, unique, memorable and perfect day, and all of it paid off because it was all that and even more. It was so much more than all the details though. It was about two families rooted in the love of Christ and in the heritage before them joining together to celebrate a special and momentous occasion. It was a testimony to many about how awesome and full of splendor and love our God is. I was deeply blessed and my faith was increased by my being part of the wedding. I realized how important my family is to me and how much I love them. I love them with all of my heart
