My reaction seeing my bride for the first time!

As a groom the reaction seeing your wife walk towards you in her wedding dress is a moment you will always cherish. The anticipation, excitement, and awe that consumes you causes such an uproar of emotions. The emotions I felt couldn't be contained and were NOT expected haha. The moment I laid my eyes on my wife shook me to the core. It was the first time I had seen my wife that day I had merely spoken to her. The emotion began when our wedding planner and photographer brought me the gift my wife had gotten for me. As I opened it it was a journal and a letter. I was instructed to open the letter first and to soak in all she had written. The letter stated that it was to her future husband and inside the letter was a level of intimacy people dream of. Written were her hopes and dreams she would find in a husband along with questions wondering what I would be like and if I would consistently pursue the Lord to find her. At the end of the letter my cheeks wet with tears, I noticed the letter was written in February of 2009, two years before I met Katie. Receiving a gift like that truly began the wildfire of emotions I felt that day and how special and cherished I felt. I didnt think my love for her could grow any stronger than it was but seeing her walk towards me, exchanging our vows, partaking in communion, and washing her feet brought me to such a level with her I feel like a dream. I'm so thankful someone captured that moment because we had absolutely no idea it was happening. I was focused on her and she was focused on me it was just happenstance that the beauty of God's love was captured in a little under two minutes.
