A few years ago one of my best friends gave me a framed quote by C.S. Lewis that has become one of my favourites. I love it because it reminds me that the Lord is at work in every aspect of our lives, including our most beloved relationships. He writes,
“But in Friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality, a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another, posting to different regiments, the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting—any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends "You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others". -- C.S. Lewis. Viani, God has chosen Kevin for you. Kevin, God has chosen Viani for you. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work. He was faithful in bringing you together. He will continue to be faithful as you enter into this next stage of life together. So much love to the both of you! It was a joy capturing the love you share on camera.
XOXO, Alaina
