A wind of ease and contentment seemed to blow across his face when he turned and saw her. She stood before him in her wedding gown, a breathtaking picture of beauty and strength. Timeless moments may be harder to find in the rush of modern life. But this was one of them. A moment of deep awareness and contentment.. and joy and laughter!

As Jessie and Jim promised themselves to each other, the close family who gathered around them at Rhodes Hall castle lent so much heartfelt support and love. You could see the enthusiasm in their eyes, even when their eyes were occasionally fixed on cameras to photograph the lovely couple! (Of course we can totally relate to that instinct!) They know something that Jessie and Jim are just beginning to learn — that a moment like this can be transformative in the best possible way. That it only increases in significance as time goes by. And that the simple act of looking back after years of challenge, growth, and love can fill the soul with the meaningful joy that makes life so precious.

Congratulations, Jessie and Jim. You two are a powerful combination! We wish you so much success and joy along the journey!
