I had the opportunity to witness the wedding vows of my youngest son’s oldest daughter, Taylor, as she pledged her life and love to Michael in a simple Valentines Day wedding. It was a simple ceremony full of life and hope. Family, extended family and friends experienced the solemnity of the vows, including her siblings Jonathan Jr. and Karly.

Taylor  and Michael are a little on the young side, but who among us was ready for marriage when we made the plunge.

Its always inspiring when lovebirds make the commitment. My prayer to them is for them to always remember this moment … why they decided to get married … the pledges they made to each other on this day. Lord knows, there will be trials but my advice is to face those hurdles together. You cant go at it alone.

Lord willing, this is the first of two grandchildren weddings this year. My older daughter’s middle son will tie the knot in May in Ohio.

God bless Taylor and Michael! May your life together be long and fulfilling!
