Here is another wonderful submission:
Simplicity
A kiss on the check, a walk hand in hand, the sunset, a cup of coffee… Simplicity
A smile, praying together, the windows down and the radio on…Simplicity
Laughter, a slow dance, flowers, and the words “I Love You,”…Simplicity
Happiness, joy, peace, and love… Do they not all stem from the simplest of moments?
When Scott and I met 4 years ago, this was a truth we were about to discover.
Our love story is not filled with elaborate gifts of jewelry, expensive dinner dates, or
any romantic get a ways. Instead, our story is perfect proof that there is truth to be
found in the popular quote, “money can’t by happiness.”
When we met, this simplistic quote immediately manifested; the homemade gifts,
picnics of college cafeteria food, long walks, camp fires, and the ability to feel your
heart leap from a simple conversation that was followed by a warm hug.
Simplicity leads to truth…and it wasn’t long until we both knew we were supposed
to be. Four years later, the money was saved, and a beautiful, simple, breathtaking
ring, was placed on my finger.
We want our wedding to represent what we stand for, our story, the way we plan to
live our lives. So, surrounded by our closest family and friends, and a backdrop of
God created elegances, we will say our vows on a pier and then sail into the sunset….
Beauty is natural, God is good, family is forever, and simplicity is the origin of
happiness.
In 50 wonderful years from now, when Scott and I look back on our wedding day,
we want to be able to feel all of that still.
We want the wind swept pier to remind us to take a deep breath. We want the
smiles to let us hear the laughter and joy of that day. We hope that the shine of the
water, the green of the grass, and the blue of the sky, will explain that beauty is all
around. And we pray that the colors of the sunset will remind us that life is
fleeting…and to live and love, like never before.
In 50 years, when all we have our pictures, we want them to say all of that. We want
them to saturate our hearts with love and our world with peace.
A timeless, perfect, picture is art that captures emotion; and in the simplest way tells
a story.
Scott and I would love to have our story told.
Thank you,
Amanda and Scott
