Weddings

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 

1 Corinthians 13:13

As many of you know, I was in a sorority while I was in college (love to my Alpha Delta Pi diamond sisters!). Well, yesterday my 'big sister' in ADPi got married and I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids. Paul's letter to the Corinthians is often read at weddings and usually it focuses on the part that states "Love is simple, love is kind..." but a longer portion of the scripture was read at Lisa's wedding, and though I'd heard it before, this particular verse at the end stuck with me. I just think its beautiful and its true. Being single at a wedding is never fun, though I had a hot blonde as my date so I had fun regardless, but it was so amazing to see Chris and Lisa together all night and see how much they love each other and how bright their future will be. It gives me hope for my own future. I pray God will bless them and watch over them and I can't wait to see all the wonderful joys they will be blessed with in the future. But for now - off they go to spend Valentine's and their honeymoon in Paris and Rome! 

Here's a quick snapshot of the evening:

In other news, my task of cooking a new meal a week is still in effect. Unfortunately last week I was literally out of the house for work, plans, or wedding festivities every night of the week, so I had to skip a week but next week its on for some Mexican lasagna! I'll let you all know how it goes!
