A Christ-centered marriage...

I shot this wedding with Leda of LVL Photography. The groom, the son of a sod farmer, and the bride, the daughter of a greenhouse grower, met at MSU. Even though everything about this wedding was beautiful, from the gown to the decor, when circumstances became tense, this couple showed that marriage is about more than just pretty things. You see, shortly before the ceremony, the bride's ring disappeared. Understandably, she was upset. But with a gracious demeanor, she firmly announced that their marriage would happen with or without a ring. This was not an inexepensive piece of jewelry and the sentiment was substantial. However, a marriage built on "things" that will disappear, or passion that will diminish, will not endure. But a marriage founded on the promises of God, and centered on His commands will truly survive until the end of a lifetime. From I Timothy 6:17: "Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment"
