I recently attended a wedding as a bridesmaid. The dress I made to wear to the wedding was part of the inspiration for this blog, but it was the wedding itself that ended up consuming my thoughts whilst writing it. It was different to so many weddings I have attended before, but the blisters on my feet were kind of similar to before. Even though I have been a bridesmaid several times, I keep forgetting that stilettos are not the shoe of choice for running around and organising last minute things.

The wedding took place on a farm not far from a small South African town called Riebeeck Kasteel. Some memories of the day were very significant. When the girls were getting ready in the morning we asked the bride what the groom was doing, and she said that he and the groomsmen were having a prayer meeting to prepare for the day. The pastor included Jesus in every aspect of the ceremony; it was breathtakingly beautiful to hear him describe the link between Jesus and love. I was just praying that my mascara would not run from all the tears rolling down my face while the ceremony took place. Later while the groom was removing the garter, the bride and groom giggled in turns. It was so sweet to see such innocence still exists. The 'normal' in today's society were totally contradicted. Today people test-drive partners like cars to see if they will be good enough before they make the decision to get married. Who would include Jesus in their wedding in this century? Really?
