It was a very stormy spring day in Indiana. Anyone from there knows what stormy days in Indiana when it starts to get warm means: thunderstorms and tornados. Yes, that's just what God ordered for our wedding day. It was pouring rain when I got to the little country church. Everyone was worried about my hair and such and I was just laughing since the weather was so bad. I knew Bill would show up no matter what so I figured who cares about my hair and makeup. He's the only one who is going to see it. LOL.
I remember that moment when he first saw me and that look on his face. I don't think I'll ever forget that smile. He caught a glimpse of me out of the corner of his eye since he was up in the front of the church with the wedding photographer getting photos taken of him and the best man. That's probably my favorite "moment."
Coming in a close second is when we stole away right after the ceremony and went to a little ice cream stand for an icecream cone (just US) before going to the reception. It's a little tiny place. I got vanilla because I didn't want to get chocolate on my white wedding dress. :) Bill got vanilla dipped in chocolate. The girl at the window made a comment that our cone choices matched our clothes.
And one more close second is the rainbow that came out after the ceremony. It had been a rotten storm, but when we emerged from the church as Mr and Mrs. there was a wonderful ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds and as we approached the reception site after our cones, we saw the rainbow reminding us that God keeps his promises just as we intend to keep our vows. It was actually a pretty powerful moment.
