A post from my friend's blog had sparked a recent memory. It had rained a few days ago in our area. I never complain about the rain because we have been in a drought situation for over 2 years. I had just commented to Beauty that it would be horrible if it rained on someone's wedding day because you never plan for rain. It would mess your hair, make up, and possibly dress. Your guests would be busy rushing and trying to get out of the rain instead of lingering and staying longer. Rain tends to put people more on edge and a bit more frazzled.
She had countered all of my negativity with but it could make for some really great pictures. You could play off the reflections that the rain would give off the road, and she said you could get our reflection in a rain drop, and we could get some great pictures using white umbrellas. She had really thought this out, in the event it rains on her parade. But, the most interesting counter was when she said, "It would be kind of nice because it reminds me of the primary song, When I am Baptized." It would be an extra gift on your wedding day as you walk out the temple! Clean and pure. Perspective my friends perspective. If rain is my girl hopes for on her special day, I pray she receives that extra gift too! I look forward to the day that she will wear her THIRD white dress!
I love that song too, here are the lyrics. Lyrics and Music by Nita Dale Milner, Arranged by Joan Sowards
Please click here to Mechelle, she just recently put up a post about the rain and her son being baptized. They love this very song too! She is one of my favorite photographers as well!
I like to look for rainbows when ever there is rain
and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
CHORUS:
I want my life to be as clean as Earth right after rain
I want to be the best I can,
and live with God again.
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
and I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.
CHORUS
