I first mentioned this couple in Aug '08, when they got engaged.
Leana has been a long-time friend of mine. Actually, she is Julie's best friend ever since they met when they were in grade 8. (I think) Back then, I wasn't too sure I liked her, as she was everything I thought I was supposed to be: blonde, straight hair, thin… After a while I realized that she really wasn't a threat, and while I don't share the same friendship that my sister and her do, I do care for her.
When she & Mike first started to date over two years ago, I think we all JUST KNEW that they were Meant To Be Together and would end up married! It just took them some time to admit to it! *wink* What an honor to be included in on their wedding day, even though I haven't chatted much with them or had time to get together with Leana. (I even had to miss her bridal shower and bachelorette!) And what a wonderful wedding it was!
And what a tough wedding it was too! Abi came along with me, and I was worried we were going to be late, since we arrived just as it was about to start. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, a gentleman came up to the front with an announcement. Uh-Oh! That's usually not a good sign! Turns out, the Father of the Bride had come down with Pneumonia!!!!! He was at the hospital at the moment, but with lots of medication and prayer things would be on its way again; so the ceremony was delayed by about 45 minutes. (at this point, Andy was wondering if he had enough time to sneak out and grab some fast food since he left late and missed lunch!nbsp; We decided he'd better not since he was already going to be in trouble for forgetting the camera!!!)
In the end, her father DID walk her down the aisle! He managed to get an hour's pass from the doctors to do that bit before he had to return to the hospital! The poor man looked so pale! But how wonderful that he was able to be there for his daughter! I don't know who walked whom though!

I managed to catch a picture of Leana hand-in-hand with her new husband and the other hand raised in praise to her Father. And it is a breathtaking photo. Not because I am an awesome photographer, because clearly I am not, but because of the meaning the picture holds. Shouldn't all marriages be conducted in this fashion? Shouldn't I myself be living like this? One hand together with my Hunny as One, and the other open and ready for God to lead. I pray that this is how Leana & Mike see their marriage as well What a witness at a wedding!
MR. & MRS.!!!!!!!
I was dateless for my first time at the Reception and I must say that it sucks! I am not confident enough to be single at a wedding when I normally have a companion! I didn't like the feeling of not having anyone to talk to or dance with (not that Hunny would normally dance anyways, but that's not the point!) since Julie and Andy were busy at the Head Table or chatting with others or too much into themselves! LOL But aren't they a gorgeous couple? Don't you just love them like I do?
Here Jundy (like that? I smushed their names together, teehee!) are dancing to their very own wedding song "Amaze"! It'll be 8 years for them this May!
Absolutely Beautiful….even though she had troubles with the dress fitting properly. I think my sister is STUNNING. Here is a none-too-stunning picture of the two of us….more like STUNNED! LOL Granted, it was also nearing midnight and we were tired but had somehow ended up volunteering to stay and help clean up!
I love my sister. Even when she makes me look like a Gnome beside her!!!! I don't know where my makeup went or what happened to my hair… lol
What a day!
Majesty
Here I am Humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
covered by the blood of the lamb
now I've found
the greatest love of all is mine
since you laid down your life
the greatest sacrifice
Majesty, majesty
your grace has found me just as I am
empty handed but alive in your hands
majesty, majesty
forever I am changed by your love
in the presence of your majesty
here I am, humbled by the love that you give
forgiven so that I can forgive
here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
sanctified by glory and fire
now I've found
the greatest love of all is mine
since you laid down your life
the greatest sacrifice
