True love is when you care so much for someone that you realize that you can’t live one day without them…they are your “soulmate”! You desire to be with them day in and day out! You want to dream with them, you want to spend every waking moment with them! Their interest are your interest…you never see their flaws, you only find their heart. You seek what makes them happy – it is “unconditional”, it is “everlasting”, it is a “commitment that perseveres through better or worse, through sickness or in health, till death you do part”!!! Love is demonstrated differently by every person…..but always, always carry the same common denominator!
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and 13 – New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Week in and week out, here at Il Bella Gardens, we have the awesome opportunity to share in the most pivotal and exciting day of a Bride and Groom’s life…..their wedding celebration! I have been asked many times…”do you ever grow tired of doing weddings”? NEVER, I never grow tired or weary of watching two people totally and completely in love choose to commit their lives together! To me, there is nothing any more beautiful than to watch a husband’s face as he peers into her eyes as the bride that God has chosen for him. She is his EVERYTHING!!!!
We have had the privilege for many years to plan along side these beautiful couples that God entrusted us with. It amazes me to watch how gentle, compassionate and attentive they are towards every detail of their wedding planning. Notoriously, every couple works hard to blend their families, to consider every need of their guest and to fulfill every dream they have dreamed of for their celebration. Planning is strategic, however, we constantly remind our couples to stay focused on their purpose…”Their Love for Each Other“! We explain to them to NEVER allow the enemy to take their joy or their love for each other while they put every effort into their planning details!!!
So, love is what brings ALL THINGS to existence!!! Love is contagious!!!! Being a part of something so beautiful and so perfect never gets old!!! It is new everyday!!!!
