Everything was beautiful, amazing, awe-some! My dh, who originally came in reluctantly was more at peace than I ever would've imagined. To sum up what was the best day of our lives: At dinner, I was given the "honor" plate. It's a tradition in our family to give it to someone for a special action or a "just because". I asked why I was given the honor plate and dh replied with tears in his eyes, "Because you heard the call of God and you followed Him." I am humbled. Glory to God for all things!

I was there! It was absolutely beautiful. Each of the five people in DU's family shone that day, each in a different way. Glory to God for all things!
