Who says you only get to wear it once?!?

Our pastor is in the middle of a sermon series about Revelation. Last Tuesday, he calls Geoff & asks if I can still fit into my wedding gown. Geoff asks me, and I started to laugh! Um, I've had 2 children & it's been 6 years, and, oh yeah, I'm 30 now!!! But, I thought it would be fun to find out, so I went to the top shelf of the closet, undid the airtight box & vacuum sealed bag & tried on the dress. IT FIT!!!! I mean, it's not loose or anything, but, it zipped!! So, this Sunday morning, I was the bride of Christ & Geoff got to be the groom! It was complete with the wedding march & calla lilly bouquet!

It was such a fun day! Kind of like recreating our wedding day. As I stood up there on stage with Geoff & looked in his eyes, I remembered doing that same thing 6 years ago in front of a different group of people at a different church. I love him now more than ever! God has definitely blessed me by giving me a Godly husband, and I am still so very proud to be his bride!

Uh...you forgot how so very proud you should be to still be able to get into your dress as well. :-) That's AH-MAZING! It looks great too!
