Taylor and Sarabeth, have one of the most moving love stories that I've ever heard and it shouldn't be a surprise since, their letting the author of love Christ, lead them. I instantly noticed Sarabeth at a coffee shop a few years ago; her gorgeous red hair is hard to miss! It was open mic night, the crowd got very quite when she started singing and I thought to myself, "Her voice is even more beautiful then her hair! I've got to get to know this girl!" (insert chuckle) We ended up in a mutual friends wedding together and I got to hear first hand the work being down in her heart and in her relationship with Taylor. I was jumping for joy when I found out they got engaged and even more excited when I got asked to capture their wedding. Their love story truly is inspiring. I left their engagement session, calling my wonderful husband to tell him I loved him and got tickled talking about our engagement story. Taylor and Sarabeth's love for one another, made me remember the grace and love I'm striving for in my marriage. They reminded me that God made Ryne, faults in all to lead me, as did he make me faults in all to stand beside him and support him.
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." -Ephesians 5 :26-27
I've watched Taylor lead Sarabeth closer to Christ and it is a beautiful sight; living out Ephesians 5 is something we're called to do if we're married. Taylor and Sarabeth, your marriage won't look like most, you'll face hardship that you never thought you would, you'll get criticized for your decisions, some will think you're strange for the way you love and respect one another, the world will make it difficult for you to live out Ephesians 5 but stand firm, your marriage is your greatest ministry!
Getting engaged in a kayak, in a lake in a volcano in Nicaragua was just the beginning!
