| Luis and Jess |
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
We meet each other on a christian chat room, and since January 2005, long chat hours, phone calls numerous once-a-month visits. Counting with God as our guide, witness and our rock on May 27th 2006, we united our lives 'til death do us part. Here are my memories from that beautiful day:
It was such a peaceful day. I love every moment of it. The time I got to spend with my mother and father was great. There was no stress or worries that day. Every thing happened with a beautiful pace, I knew in my heart that I was holding onto Jesus hand, and trusting him not only with my life but also with a new family to be created on this day. I love how Jessica set the schedule of the events: she wanted to have all the wedding pictures taken before the ceremony (in this way all the guests will not have to wait for us at all). Thus, I got to be alone at the altar and wait to see her walking down the isle, a moment for just Jessica, God and me. Nobody else was going to be there, first time I'll get to see her in her wedding dress.
While waiting there, I got the chance to be alone and talk with God a little bit. To give him my gratitude, for transforming me from the inside out; and filling my life with His endless love. I prayed that God would help me to be a holy husband, that on everything I do to be a blessing for my soon to be wife. I prayed that if we have children that He would give me the wisdom, patience and love to be a good father.
