It was in lockdown, the day before my birthday. He told me that because of lockdown he couldn't take me to a restaurant for my birthday so we were going to pretend. He told me to dress up and he'll do the same. When I stepped into the livingroom my breath was taken away! He set a table for two, candlelit dinner, the whole thing. After I took my seat he took out our album and the Bybel. Her read to me 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, "Love is patient, love is kind...." I knew something was up, but I was absolutely oblivious. He opened our album, and there it was. The RING! He took it in his one hand and my hand in his other, got on one knee and popped the question. My heart was racing and I got all teared up, with a "Yes!" coming out through it all. The best night of my life!
The day I got to say "I do" to the man of my dreams was the best day of my life. To summarize this fairytale day would be difficult, but it was the little things that made it so special. One of the most precious moments was the honour of having communion with the love of my life before we step into the journey we embarked on that day. After we said our vows we got the chance to capture our first moment of holding hands as a married couple forever by making a casting mould of our fingers intertwining with love and passion. The washing of each other's feet after the ceremony was one of the most touching moments I felt of love, grace and compassion. And last but not least our first dance was so magical. It was like a movie scene where the world stoped spinning and time stood still for that moment. We made magic!
