A Dream Come True: The Wedding Edit

I often dream vividly and write down my thoughts when I wake up.
Usually I'd think of dreams as something separate from reality. Visual and auditory creations that exist for a moment in time and then fade away.
I once dreamt that I deep fried a shark in my bathtub - yes you read that correctly - by turning up the thermostat in my NYC apartment.
Realistic? Not exactly.
But sometimes I'll have a dream so clear and vivid that it feels like a memory.
Recently, I had the healing experience of witnessing a particular dream I had more than a decade ago become one of my favorite real life memories. This dream was so vivid that I wrote about it in my journal and drew a quick sketch of the scenery back in 2014.
Admittedly, I did not know whose wedding it was at the time. However, there were strong signs that I was a bridesmaid:
All those years ago I wrote ".... A giant house... Stone facade in the back. Beautiful landscaping... it was so big we used it as a wedding venue and reception hall... " - a pretty sounding picture for a leisurely ink pen sketch. Forgotten between hundreds of pages of musings, drawings, dreams and ideas... until this summer.
So as I watched my beautiful sister walk down the steps towards the aisle and realized I was seeing an old dream come to life, I was overwhelmed with feelings of wonder and gratitude.
The color palette, the sparkles, the joy... this wedding was a summertime celebration of love, life, and God's will! Olabisi & Rhondy, may God bless your union. Amen.
Love,
