Romans 5:9-11

Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! Now that we have actually received this amazing friendship with God, we are no longer content to simply say it in plodding prose. We sing and shout our praises to God through Jesus, the Messiah!

March 26th.

On march 26th, my brother:
Andrew Hamilton.
Got married to a beautiful girl:
Stephanie Senges.

It was a beautiful wedding.
Black dresses and tuxes, yellow accents, white bride. Absolutely stunning. And on top of it all, it never poured with rain. Thank the Lord.
Bridesmaids got with other bridesmaids, and groomsmen with other groomsmen.
Girls got up early to get their hair and make-up done, while the boys had breakfast, chilled, watched a movie and then got ready to leave for the church. Wowie, we're all so different.
The bridesmaids gathering was fun! We helped the bride get ready for her BIG day. Her dress was breathtaking. She looked like a princess; Ivory lace, bows and toole. Wow.
And to complete her dress, she had a marvelous bouquet of yellow flowers. Lily's and roses.
I couldn't believe how amazing we all looked, her mom and my mom, her family and my family, her friends and his friends, we all looked outstanding.
(I'm trying to think of more words to describe this day, and I can't think anymore, there's just not enough.)
God definitely gave us an amazing day that none of us will ever forget. :)


The church, Ebenezer Baptist Church, was beautifully decorated, yellow flowers everywhere. I adored it.
The groom took the grandparents down the isle, along with the parents of the bride and groom. And then it was time for the groom to pause and wait by the alter for the bride. The groomsmen waited a the bottom of the isle for the bridesmaids, as one by one they walked down.
On top of the stage was a band, a band playing 'Only Hope'. It was beautifully done, sounded just like the real group who sang it originally before.
It was the grooms friends from church.
I loved it, everyone did.
Everything was perfect, it was a beautiful happy ending.
Tears of joy, we watched the bride walk towards the groom. She looked stunning, and he had no clue what to say, I think he looked quite stunned himself.
They are so happy, it makes me happy to see my brother so full of joy and love.

The reception happened at Stanley Park Pavillion. Like I said it was beautiful, yellow accents everywhere. The building was ancient, I loved it. Lots of people after the ceremony came out. I felt like there was more people at the reception than there was at the ceremony.
There was speeches from both sides. It was very heartfelt, there were tears and laughs. Definitely a beautiful, disney felt wedding. I loved it. She was happy that her dream came true.
The bride had a Daddy Daughter dance and a First Dance with Andy. It was adorable, I almost cried.
There was a huge dance party, that everyone danced too. 

It's hard to let go of the ones you love, I had to do that multiple times. It's not easy. I hate goodbyes. Saying goodbye to people is only hard if they live on the other side of the world and if they move into another new family.
I had to say goodbye to Tim and Anita Van Egmond. :(
I had to let go of my brother, so he could live happily with his wife, and to live and belong with the Senges. (Not like he didn't before). But it's still hard.
I know I'll still see him, but still... it's hard.


So that's the wedding info, lots to say, and lots to show. It was amazing, and I loved every minute of it. :)!!
