Last weekend Jason and I had the priviledge to travel down to Montgomery for my friend Sarah’s wedding. I met Sarah back in 2004 when we both interned for Senator Jeff Sessions in Washington, DC. Sarah was a definite answer to prayer in that we wanted similar things out of her internship (to learn about Congress and explore the city) and so we spent the four weeks of our internship pretty inseparable. Once we got back to Alabama she returned to Samford and I continued on in Tuscaloosa but we kept in touch. We got to live in Tuscaloosa together during her first year of law school and my first year of marriage. If you know anything about those two things you’ll know that we didn’t have a lot of free time to get together but we occasionally met for lunch during the year. After we moved north we continued to keep in touch and I was so excited to hear from her a little over a year ago that she had met someone and that they were seriously dating.
Sarah was in our wedding four and a half years ago and I was so blessed that she was able to stand by my side while I said “I do.” So as the years progressed I continued praying for Sarah and for her future husband. When Sarah called and told me that she had met Brent she described him in the most glowing terms and it seemed like they were very well suited. We didn’t actually get to meet until one of their bridal showers in October but when we met I knew that he was just as Sarah had described and that they were pretty perfect for each other.
So I was excited to get to join her for her special day last weekend. Jason and I left Charlotte with his parent’s and enjoyed a night away and time to enjoy the wedding festivities. They got married in a beautiful old church in Montgomery and then had their reception in the church hall which, honestly, looked more like a beautiful museum than what you would expect in a church hall! Everything as beautiful and I was so glad that I got to be with Sarah as she joined her life to Brent’s. Here’s wishing them many, many happy years of marriage!
