Taking a Leap of Faith

1 comment

Sometimes when two people are in love, they need to take a leap of faith. Most people would call that getting married, but this groom, took an even bigger leap when he planned his bride’s wedding day without her knowing and then asked her to get married that same day. Check out the video by Gavin Michael Booth below and make sure you have a box of tissues handy!

I cannot imagine the emotions going through the bride and groom at that moment. No matter how many weddings I have been to and worked on, nothing prepares you for a moment like that. I’m sure it’s not exactly what she dreamed of, but she had the elements she wanted and the love of her life, so everything was perfect. In a follow up interview, the groom says that their proposal was less than ideal and that after seven years it was time to get married. He said he wanted to not only make up for the proposal, but for everything. The bride said if she had planned it all, the stress would have left her less than enthusiastic, but with this surprise wedding, she was able to enjoy it and focus on the meaning of their wedding.

I hope everyone takes a leap of faith in their life and has a Happy Leap Day!

Ricardo - I have mixed feelings about wdniedgs. I love them and I loathe them. I love them because of what they symbolise, I loathe them because of what they have become. I personally feel that people are too concerned about the wedding day and forget about the actual marriage which is meant to start the very next day. I always cry at wdniedgs because the service is usually beautiful and I also cry because I wonder if they truly understand what they are letting themselves in for. Perhaps my feelings on this are subjective they probably are because I have found marriage to be the hardest thing (and the best thing) that I have ever done. It hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park.I prefer small and intimate wdniedgs. I had a big wedding and truthfully, I didn’t enjoy it because it wasn’t a reflection of who my DH and I are. It became all about our parents and their guest lists and friends and their ideas of what our wedding should be like. I was about four months pregnant at the time (bet you didn’t see that one coming!) and exhausted and hormonal and I honestly couldn’t wait for it all to be over. My DH and I have been thinking of renewing our vows in the next year or so. We hope to have a small intimate ceremony with only immediate family and a few close friends. Exactly the way we would have wanted our wedding to be.My favourite part of any wedding is the part where the bride walks down the aisle with her Daddy. Usually she is emotional and excited and a little overwhelmed at the same time. Then at the end of the walk he lifts her veil over her head and kisses her tenderly. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. Makes me cry every single time. Must be because I am a bit of a Daddy’s girl. My second favourite part is watching the groom see his bride come down the aisle. That moment, that image is absolutely priceless…
