LA and Eric's Wedding

Stephen and I are both honored that we had the chance to stand with Leigh Anne and Eric on their special day. The weather here in Texas has been less than desirable as far as an outdoor wedding is concerned. I think we've had about 2.5 inches of rain over the three days prior to the wedding.. which doesn't seem like much unless you're planning an outdoor wedding! About an hour before the ceremony was set to begin the clouds parted and the sun started shining on us. Many prayers were answered when the clouds finally broke. In my opinion, it was His way of providing a blessing on that sacred ceremony. My favorite part of their vows "May the spirit of God-which is in the blue sky, in the wind, and in the fresh smells of the Earth-enter your bodies, fill your hearts, and bless your lives" brings a tear to my eyes just reliving it in memory.
Eric's best man, Rhett, gave an outstanding toast and I'd like to share a little of what he said with you.
"Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal, steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away
" ..words that I'm sure that Eric and LA as well as many guests will never forget.
Thanks to the loving couple for letting us take part in their blessed day. May the love that you share today continue to grow every day of your lives together.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY ERIC!
