I felt so blessed and honored to be invited to your special day today. When I said I wouldn't have missed it for the world, I truly meant it. I would have gotten a sitter somehow for the kids and hitch-hiked down there, if that's what it had taken.
Today was beautiful. It was love. You both glowed with it.
I remember the beginning months of your relationship, the bloom of new romance fresh on you both, as it was for Jeremy and I. Betina, I sometimes wonder if that was another thing that brought us closer together, being two women in love, surrounded by our men and our men-friends.
Every relationship goes through its ups and downs. Yours has had more trials and tribulations thrown at it than most; it's a hallmark of the depth of your devotion to each other that you found each other, lost each other, then found each other again. You've each had a hard path you've walked, both in your time together, and in your time apart. I view this as a blessing - that long, hard road brought you back to each other.
I wanted to cry throughout your ceremony. The way you looked at each other, the emotion in your voices, the way that warmth seemed to spread like a golden glow over everyone attending when you, Betina, arrived and started your slow walk toward your husband. Magic like that can't be found anywhere else.
I feel blessed that I was there to witness your special day, and I feel blessed that I was there to witness the start of your relationships. You two are two of my best friends, and I know that while there may be some minor ups and downs in the course of your married life together, that the Creator has nothing in store for you but an ever-deepening love and joy, as your little family grows.
I love you both.
love,
Megan
