Today I directed another wedding. The bride and groom were so cute! One of my favorite parts of directing is meeting the families on both sides. See today's cake below:
See that Cross?
The brother of the groom made it. He went in the woods in Maine, cut down a tree, and made that beautiful cross for his brother and future sister-in law.
They were shocked! Why, you ask? Because he is a non-believer.
The groom met the bride, and she prayed day after day that her boyfriend would come to know Christ. Finally, he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior after a church retreat.
Little by little, and one by one, the groom's family has come to know the Lord.
So, the groom's brother wanted to surprise them with the cross. He couldn't understand why they were so shocked when he presented it to them. He asked, "Isn't this what you plan to base your marriage on?" Indeed.
Maybe he's turning a corner.
Oh, by the way, this is the first wedding I have directed where a chainsaw was used at the rehearsal. The groom's brother had to cut an additional 18 inches off of the 11 foot cross and just so happened to have a chainsaw in the back of his truck.
Every wedding directed brings another story. Someday I will tell you about the time a bride asked me to put on one of the bridesmaid dresses for the day!
