When something goes from extreme heat to extreme cold, or vice versa, it is not very healthy for it. The cells in a body or the molecules in an object are expanded with the heat, then go to compressed with the cold. This is what my body is continually feeling every single time I go outside. I am used to walking out and wiping a bead of sweat of my brow, however, these days I am wiping a ball of ice off instead.
Its wedding day in Goshen and the temperature is falling. We go to the church for pictures, where the heater is proving to work greatly, yet, we decided to take pictures outside where traces of snow are still proving its presence the day before. We have to stand outside and watch all the girls being pretty for pictures in their tiny dresses. I could not have withstood the temperatures for pictures. In my three-layered tux I was freezing, as I stood on the campus of Goshen College, waiting for my turn to get into the pictures.
Finally it was back to the warmth of the church for some final pictures and the ceremony of the wedding. It went very well and everything seemed to be perfect as it flowed like the waters of the beach. I was glad Landon didn’t choose to have an outdoor wedding!
It was then off to the reception, where a good time is to be had with many old college friends present, as well as good food. This is the perfect Mennonite picture: friends, family, food and fellowship. Of course all of your friends are your fourth and fifth cousins, but we never find out until we start dating them.
Overall the day was a very good one, and almost picture perfect, as the snow gently fell in the lights of main street Goshen. It almost felt as if we were celebrating inside of a snow globe, as the flakes glistened on the outside and we partied on the inside. Once again, the beauty of God was proved in a beautiful day, celebration and nature
