We arrived at Ft. Fisher Rec. area in a driving rain for Connie and Brandon’s beach wedding. Talking on our cell phone’s we debated whether to wait it out of go back to their beach house. Then the miracle came, the rain suddenly stopped, we rushed onto the beach– a few sprinkles persisted and a few folks brought umbrellas. As the ceremony went off as planned, I reminded them in the ceremony, “just as this seashore, a place of beauty and serenity can know some tumultuous times, so in marriage, there can be some stormy days.” Everyone laughed in agreement and the ceremony ended with a breakthrough of the sun through the clouds and another happy couple. How often what seems like a bad situation really works out for the best.
