FADE IN WEDDING DAY

ES

It is a beautiful day. Gina is standing behind a partition trying to control her excitement. A white gazebo stands in the middle of a creek that opens up on one side into a large pool. Two ramps span the creek on either side of the gazebo. White flowers are positioned discreetly on the guardrails of both ramps. The same flowers Gina holds in her hand. Her bouquet is small and discreet, but it’s what she wanted. Her dress is the color of candlelight, full length, and beautiful. A beautiful wedding dress covered with lace designed with small groups of olives, it’s leaves and blooms. It’s not something that everyone would notice. She calls it a mystery through beauty.  

VOICE-OVER, WADE:

“We were married on a beautiful, sunny day. In honor of how God rescued her from the darkness of this world, using me in His plan. The two of us choose to live in the Light. We chose this day because of the scripture that reads, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” (Genesis 1:3-4) Not saying that I am good, but I am covered with the Light, the Light of this world, which is good. For it is written, “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore, when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.”

“Three months after our wedding, almost to the day, Gina came home from the Doctors office and told me that she was pregnant. We began praying about our child and what name it would be given. We continued to pray for our child the whole time she was pregnant. And, actually, we still pray for him daily. I spent many Saturdays in our backyard talking to the LORD and spending time with Him. After I gave my life to the LORD, I became very dedicated from that moment on. After a few weeks of praying about our child,”

VOICE-OVER, WADE:

I walked in from the backyard on a Saturday afternoon. Gina could tell that I had something to tell her, but I stood there in the kitchen for a while not saying anything. She finally asked me,

GINA:

“Baby, are you okay?”

Wade started to cry. His hands came up covering his face as Gina watched.

Gina walked over to him and puts her arms around him, still not sure what happened. After he regained his composure, he smiled at her and that’s when she knew everything was alright.
