I am married.

I am now Jessica Becker. 

Most days I can barely believe it has happened, and then something infinitesimally wonderful will be packaged into a single moment, an inch of our lifespans, a kiss, an embrace, a whispered word, or the feel of his warmth at night, or the fragrance of his masculinity in the morning and all incredulity dissipates into that singular and consummate knowledge that it is indeed real--I really am married, blissfully and deliciously married to a man of such worth, integrity, humility, and Christ-likeness.  And then the cycle of disbelief resumes because I simply cannot believe the scandal I have pulled off in joining myself to such a stellar man.  There are moments when I feel irrationally fearful that he will discover my scam through one of my prevalent cross words, abrasive critiques, or sarcastic innuendos and it will disappear, the shroud of marriage will be ripped from my grasp, and I will be labeled all the labels I deserve and dread.  And then those moments happen and I cower in fear that this beautiful dream will be shattered with reality, and yet he just smiles, embraces me, and then has the audacity to put it on HIMSELF!  Which of course melts me into utter submission and contriteness.

Again, what a wonderful man I have married.

Our wedding was simply divine.  Really, it was.  So much went so well that it couldn't have been anything other than a Divine Intervention.  Did you know that THAT is the real meaning of "blessed?"  The original Greek word means "interference."  Thus, when I say that God blessed my wedding and marriage, I really mean that He completely and utterly interfered and stole it all for His glory--a Divine Robbery that could never be despaired of!  So much GOOD, so many commitments for Christ arose out of it--Praise His Name!  I've attached a few pictures here, but all the rest are on facebook.  I've just added more to the album, so have another look if you haven't already.
