I've grown an unhealthy affinity to watching wedding videos and looking at engagement/wedding pictures, especially given the almost unreal amount of weddings & engagements of friends & church members around me. There are two particular blogs, Wayne Yuan and StillMotion, that I love visiting because they have a knack of capturing the couples' love for one another in a way that just makes you believe that they were meant for one another. A few months ago, I may have looked at these pictures and fantasized about the fairy-tale love that the couple shared with one another since day 1 of dating, but now I believe I have a deeper appreciation for their relationship because I'm learning that loving someone selflessly is very far from the "happily ever after" ideal that is realistically impossible to have. Working through arguments, staying humble, and acting contrary to what our own sinful hearts desire are all painfully difficult, but the beauty of marriage is that people are actively choosing to commit themselves to one another in full knowledge of the pain they'll undergo. (Of course there are many joys along the way). Man, relationships aren't easy, but the hardships refine it to make it all the more beautiful.
PS - Carol looks g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s in her wedding dress and tea dress. Bryan's a lucky guy. hehe. Watch their wedding video // look at their pictures!
