What did you learn about yourself from the last wedding that you were involved with? Were you the bride, bridesmaid or guest?


The last wedding I attended my son was the ring bearer. He was almost 3 years old and was very unpredictable. Long story short, my son and the flower girl made it halfway down the aisle and then bolted off to the back of the church! Everyone thought it was hilarious, except the parents of the ring bearer and the flower girl. What I learned is that even though you can try to plan every detail things may not go as exactly planned. You have to adjust to changes that may come your way and make the best of the situation. Laughter helps. I have certainly learned this in my marriage as many changes come along.

The last wedding I was in, I was a bridesmaid for my brother and sister-in-law. I learned about myself that I like to be a caretaker-- thinking of how I can meet the needs of the bridal party, when they have so much going on in their mind. I also try to keep my mouth shut, since I am a pastor and try not to tell other bridal parties, pastors or photographers what to do! :)
