The Aisle

What makes a wedding special? Is it the flowing white dress? The freshly arranged flowers? The perfectly coordinated tableware?

As a chronic cry-baby watching the bride come down the aisle, for me, that’s the moment that defines the day. It’s not just how beautiful she looks after hours of prepping. It’s not her choice in music or how well she times her two step. From the moment the entire congregation stands to witness her walk, the whole atmosphere pulsates with love. Love for the bride. Love for the groom. Love for what appears to be a fairy tale unfolding before us.

That aisle, long or short… inside a church or down a sandy beach, is a journey in itself. If I could offer a piece of advice to the future brides out there; pause for a minute before you begin that walk. Look out at the faces of all your friends and family, think about all the steps they’ve been there for before this moment. From first steps, to big steps, and likely a few missteps along the way…

Smile,and remember, as you face your future anxiously waiting at the end of the aisle, that they’ll be with you every single step of the way.
