Last night two of my old high school students got married, and I had the Honor of being one of the Groomsmen. It was a long day filled with driving, setting up chairs, taking pictures, laughter, friends, and dancing. The day had its ups and down's just like any day. However watching these two who I've had the privileged of watching grow up from awkward freshmen to slightly less awkward Adults, and then peers and friends, become husband and wife was such a blessing. We all clapped and cheered when this beautiful couple was given the green light to kiss. Thats when it hit me, for 4 years of their lives I would have had to say "hey what are you 2 doing making out, that is unacceptable" (not that these 2 were the kind of people that would do that in front of anyone) but this day they kissed in front of friends, and Family, pastors, mentors and no one was offended. In fact we all clapped and Cheered.
SO the lesson for any students reading this If you want to get your youth leaders, pastors, friends and family to be totally ok with you kissing someone in front of a large crowd. Commit to someone and get married.
Congrats to Josh and Maddy, I pray your marriage is blessed. I love you guys.
