Anna’s Wedding

15 Nov 2009 by Becca, Comments Off

Four years and some months ago, when I was a resident assistant in Beasley Hall, I had my first resident move in the night before everyone else did. I knew instantly she was going to be someone I’d talk to quite a bit.

Anna’s (awn-uh) wedding story is beautiful to hear. I met Caleb (briefly) back when I was her RA and all I can remember is that she gushed over him. Fast forward several years and they finally started dating… a year after dating he proposed, and now about four months later they are married!

The wedding was packed yesterday, probably 400 people in a tiny church. We couldn’t stay for the reception, but the wedding itself was different in several ways. First off, the groom sang several of the procession songs, including the one his bride came down the aisle to. Also? Instead of a unity candle or anything like that, they wrote letters to each other letting go of anything that would hinder their marriage and nailed it to a wooden cross they had built.

Of course, they wrote their own vows and they were beautiful. You can tell the two of them truly love the Lord first and foremost and then each other.

I’m so glad Anna finally got her man.
