Wedding Number 1 - James & Jess

As I have mentioned in a previous post or two, we have two weddings one this past Saturday and one coming up on 1 December. This past weekend's was James and Jess Lucas' wedding, and it was a very special ceremony. James is a missionary in Zambia and he is also one of Clive's oldest friends, which we were both at school with, James is also the pastor that married us, so it was a special occassion to go to.

Saturday proved to be a gorgeous day and it was really hot in Hout Bay where they had their wedding. Tammy Moelans sang both of them their own song which I presume she wrote and a hymn was song then their vows were said, and so they became Mr and Mrs Lucas. Weddings are always quite emotional for me, as it is truly a beautiful event, I have yet to go to a wedding where I didnt feel a lump in my throat as it is the one day where the love of the couple truly shines out for all to see and it is a vow made before God to love and cherish and respect this person for the rest of your life. With day to day life we sometimes forget these vows made and forget this very special day in our lives, however we are called to keep those vows and going to a wedding takes you right back to the feeling at your own.
