Glory & Mason - May 16, 2015
Mason and I love being outdoors. We often go on walks through parks and neighborhoods, and take hiking adventures. So it just makes sense that Jesus would bless us with beautiful weather on two major milestones in our relationship. When Mason asked me to marry him, we went to a state park and hiked for the better part of the afternoon. God painted the landscape so beautifully! Texas had a rare colorful fall and the trees were vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds. The sunset exploded pink and gold across big fluffy clouds. After the sun set, all the clouds dispersed giving us a magnificent view of the stars. The day was more perfect than we could have even asked for! 5 1/2 months later, Texas was experiencing torrential amounts of rain and flooding. College Station was drenched every day for the two weeks preceding our wedding. Of course, we were all nervous about the beautiful outdoor ceremony we were planning on and quickly put together manageable, though less ideal, backup plans. The day before our wedding, we rehearsed through drizzling rain. The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms most of the afternoon on Saturday, but not a drop fell at our venue! The entire day was partially cloudy with a refreshing breeze! There were so many people who helped to make our day very special, but God’s gift was the best!
