At Last

Here is the theme song for this post: At Last  Please play as you read...

The story is too beautiful not to share. My brother Cory proposed to the love of his life last night, Marie. And I couldn't be happier! Eek. I can't stop the tears! Happy tears of course.

He had her meet him in the chapel where he was praying alone in front of Our Lord in the Eucharist. They prayed. He gave her some hydrangeas. The word hydrangea means vessel. He talked to her about how Mary was a vessel of Jesus and how much she has prayed for them in their courtship and led them to being better Christians. He proceded to ask her if she would be a vessel for his children someday and grow in relationship with the Lord together for the rest of their lives!

Then he placed this beautiful handcrafted ring on her wedding finger. A hydrangea flower with 3 petals symbolizing the trinity! Lift your jaw and check it out.

Two of my favorite people, soon to be one in some mysterious gift from God; the vocation of marriage! Love you two! Yeah, Gianna seems to make it into all our pictures these days.

My most favorite picture of them.  I mean doesn't it just look like Joseph and Mary?

The bride to be

The groom to be

The happy couple
