Would you wear this??

Black wedding dress by Vera Wang. Aside from the sad undernourished look on the model, I would absolutely have worn a black dress! Black happens to be the only colour my husband wears. Can you imagine how he would have felt watching me walk down the aisle towards him in a black wedding dress? Who cares about what your family and friends think or what the world says about it. The wedding day is about joining a man and woman together though God in unity. In the moments when you speak you vows the world disappears. The months of planning don't matter, truly, you could be wearing shorts and a t-shirt and that moment would be forever emblazoned in your memory. The way he looks into your eyes. The sound of your heartbeat as you utter the words 'I do'. The years that follow matter, putting into practice the promises made with the heart. What does 'for better or worse' mean? or 'sickness and health'? These are the years and times that bring you closer together. Closer to God, the creator of marriage, closer to one another as husband and wife. It doesn't matter what you wear or how you look. It matters who you marry and more importantly who you become after the wedding. Am I still the person he wants to marry? Would his eyes water again to see me walk towards him, now that we have disappointments and memories behind us and not just hopes and dreams ahead?

  1. You could re-do your vows for your 25th wearing a black wedding dress!!

    And yes, it matters more WHO you marry and who you become for the rest of your life together.

    Fun post!

    PS I wanted pink!

  2. Call me an old traditional, but I like white! I guess I have had nearly 43 years of becoming something other than the 17 year old wearing traditional white!
