When you are a part of something that's done right, there is such a sense of satisfaction that other experiences can't provide. I walked away from Katie and Dylan's wedding day with this very fulfillment. The planning and energy that went into every detail of the day left me in awe, and the love between Katie and Dylan amongst their community of family and friends was such an image of how things ought to be.
Being a part of this wedding was especially significant for me as Katie has been one of my closest friends for the past three years. We met at a Young Life camp in New York while serving on summer staff for a month as lifeguards. Throughout that month our friendship deepened and we both learned what exactly genuine fellowship looked like. Because we lived close to each other at home and both went to school in the south our friendship continued after camp was over and she has continued to be such a blessing to my life since then. I was also lucky enough to know her while she and Dylan began dating (the second time around ;) and through the two years of dating before their engagement. Knowing how amazing they are individually, I am so confident that Katie and Dylan are better together than apart. The love that they share for Jesus and for each other will continue to be such a blessing to all of those in their lives. I am so excited that these two are finally married!
