Amal & Donavon Wedding Take II
Weddings are suppose to be one of the happiest days in a lifetime. But I can just imagine that this isn’t neccessarily true for everyone involved. There always seems to be some sort of a bridezilla drama, or in the best man speech, he forgets the Wedding Crasher’s rule which states that using “the funny because it’s true thing is funny if the truth is a small thing”. Yea, I’m just guessing that there was some “God give me strength” prayers today.
But when it came down to it, I was moved to hear the vows. I believe the atmosphere became much more romantic, meaningful and unique as they exchanged promises. I personally think the vows between two people is the heart and soul of the ceremony. Hearing Donavon and Amal not only receite their vows, but giving each other the look that they understand just exactly what they are pledging to just sends goosebumps up my arm. Wow.
Finally, they had the kiss, which was very tasteful I must say. The kiss didn’t have “porno tongue, but church tongue”. Sorry, but what’s a wedding story without references to a not so obscure 80′s movie.
Well, it’s time for me to join in on the last part of the ceremony. This is where the wedding gets interactive, I get to eat, and yes, I plan on doing this part well.
Update (9:55 pm): The speeches from the best man, maid of honor, father of the bride and father of the groom, were awesome, heartfelt and warm. I was moved from the love that was plainly expressed.
And praises to God… I found out from Amal that she expected so many things that still needed to be done today, and instead, found them done. I guess this wedding did turn out “magical”.
Update 03/31: Added wedding pictures to our photo gallery.
