His and Hers

God has guided our path individually and then guided our journey to each other.  The Lord blessed our union, and I became Mrs San Nai Saetern on March 08th.  Almost five years in the making, we became one.  I feel bless to marry a man who loves me more than I could ever describe in words.

It's been almost two weeks since that day.   Here are our thoughts on the first five minutes of our ceremony:

His: I am not nervous.  The music starts, and I began my way to the front.  I see our family.  I am happy.  I see all my groomsmen, her bridesmaids, our boys and flower girls come down the isle.  My heart is filled with so much joy.  Here she comes, and there she is!  She is so beautiful that I begin to cry.  I am going to marry her.

Her: I am not nervous.  The music starts.  Here they all go.  I'm in the back of the line, waiting with my two brothers to walk me down the isle.  We get there, and I'm just really glad I didn't trip in my high heels.  I start down the isle and I take a look around.  I see my family; I see his family.  And, I see him.  He's crying!  Why is he crying?!?  I begin to get emotional, so I look down.  I hear my twin say "look up", which I do, and I am there, beside him.

Everything went right.  The weather worked perfectly in our favor.  There wasn't any crazy wind, no in and out from the sun, and I swear I heard birds chirping.  It was a fifteen minute ceremony, but felt like five.  I held his hands 95% of the time.  I looked into his eyes and felt completeness.  I see all his guys behind him, each with tears in their eyes.  My ladies shed a few tears as well.  His family was in tears as soon as the music started.  Mine, sat there (lol .. my family and I, we do not cry).  My vows were short as I was trying to not get emotional.  His were meaningful.

God is good all the time.  All the time, God is good.
