(NKJV) 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.
Of all the studies I’ve attended within the past several months, no cluster of words has been imprinted on my mind more so than: [love…] is not provoked.
How simple. How alarming. Love is not provoked.
That study was perfectly fitting to set the mood for the weekend to come.
The following morning, I attended, what is to date, the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. Leah and Daniel finally tied the knot! Everything about the wedding was simply elegant; from the candle-lit chapel, to the way Daniel cried when he recited his vows. I don’t think that there was a dry eye in the house! Well received, because it went down flawlessly. Leah was lovely, the bridesmaid’s dresses weren’t ugly, the slideshow was phenomenal, the favors were practical, the centerpieces were breathtaking, Daniel was a ball of energy, the cake was classy, and for once, the reception was actually... fun.
And just by looking, you could tell that Daniel is crazy about her. Just by looking. So romantic.
