This spring finds us running full force in wedding mode as my oldest son is getting married. This is the first of my children to marry and a brand new transition for our family. In June, my husband and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage, so I find myself lately often tottering and reflecting between the 'new and the old" of marriage. The 'new' is so fresh and exciting. Preparing, shopping, planning...it is so much fun as we get our bride prepared for her special day. A huge part of this is the wedding gown. We look for just the right balance of lace, beads, a long train to make our bride radiant. Why is this dress so special? Why the long trains, the excessive fabric, the elaborate detail? Time Warp Wife shares that because it symbolizes the crown she will be to her husband. Her beauty is the outward reflection of an inner heart. We’re not dressing to represent the wealth of our family, we’re dressing to represent the treasure hidden within.
