Today was Simon and Flora's wedding!!! Woke up on this beautiful sunny day rather early to make the trek across Sydney for the morning church service in West Pennant Hills. Got there nice and early surprisingly for once given my habit of being late to most things! I guess this was one thing I was definitely NOT going to be late for!
The service was beautiful! It was great being witness to the way God has brought Simon and Flo together and how obvious their love for God and each other is. We were all challenged by Ken's talk about what is required for a marriage to work and for a couple to be in loving relationship with one another and with God.
Afterwards the reception was held at Mandalay in Lane Cove. This venue was like a private function place similar to Pete's reception venue and Steph's reception venue. It was a really nice mansion surrounded by lovely blooming gardens and great for taking photos! Lunch was a superb 3 course affair with speeches and toasts interspersed between courses. Some of the speeches were quite revealing as well as touching! It all finished around 5pm by which time I was rather buggered!
Simes and Flo - I wish you all the best as you begin your new journey through life together. Today marks but the beginning of a long road that will be filled with times of happiness and difficulty. I pray that God would grant you both the love and strength to keep on serving one another and Him faithfully!
