The True Story Surrounding This Peaceful Photo On my wedding day, minutes before the ceremony, the most awaited and precious moment of my life, I was in the dressing room with my bridesmaids waiting for the rite to begin. We were so happy and excited. We were checking every detail of the wedding, what needs to be done in the last minute. Giggle and excitement filled the room when my soon to be mother in law came and called me. I was so tense and nervous and ask her if the ceremony will start. I was so conscious but I said to myself this is the most excited moment every woman is dreaming of, to walk down the aisle while her groom is waiting at the altar. I was full of anticipation and excitement. Do I look pretty and gorgeous? Does my gown fit me well? My hair, my shoes, everything about me, will he be excited and look at me with adoration and admiration? These expectations made my heart pound at an incredibly fast beat. She lovingly pulled my hand and brought me to her son. To my surprise my groom was silently waiting in one corner of the room and gently grasped my hand. I broke the silence and told him that wedding is about to begin and finally we will be husband and wife. He said that he knew and he whispered that he wanted to offer a short prayer as we held our hands. In that very moment of our prayer, quietness and solitude filled our hearts in the midst of festive sounds, activities and laughter. As he was whispering prayers about our wedding and the life ahead of us, we felt and experienced the amazing God's love between us. As he was reminiscing how we met, our sweet moments, our fights and quarrels, our indifferences and arguments, my tears began to flow and his voice was shaking. He continuously thanked the Lord Jesus Christ that he was able to protect and respect my purity. He asked the Lord for guidance in our new journey. He asked the Lord to bless us and be the center of our lives. No one and no circumstances will ever separate us neither sickness, poverty not even if we fail each other because our love does not depend only with what we feel but our love comes from the Lord. We are willing to forgive each other flaws and shortcomings. As he ended our prayers, my face was washed with tears, tears of joy and gratefulness. My bridesmaids needed to retouch and blush me up again. As I looked and gazed in the mirror, I thanked God and my prince charming that in that very moment I am pure as white, my wedding gown signifies purity. Now I am confident and ready to walk down the aisle and meet my groom; what a wonderful and awesome feeling. Walking down the aisle is something I cannot express, beyond my wildest dream. I felt so beautiful that time and I could not help but smile, a smile from my heart with gladness and assurance that I will meet my groom in the altar and be his forever. We will declare our pledge of love in front of many witnesses. My husband is not only my Prince Charming nor my "Knight in shining armor" because of his good countenance and his sense of humor but because of his will to preserve my treasure, my purity. His ability and determination to protect me is not his own by God's gift to him, to us. We are just human, vulnerable and weak; we were tempted but God is our defense. Our righteousness is God's righteousness and with His mercy and grace, my husband and I were able to protect my purity until our first night, our "honeymoon". It was not an easy task or endeavor to refrain from rampant doings among what we call "lovers". We also fought and battled against the flesh and its lust but we are constantly reminded of God's Word and His Will. Thank God for His unfailing love. The moment we prayed before our wedding ceremony was captured in camera that's why I am sharing you our great love story that brought us together as "one". I am not bragging about how we are peculiar and unique but I want to inspire both young men and women that there is God who is able to protect and guide your relationship. It is not impossible to have a pure and clean relationship, not in our own strength and will but by God's righteousness and defense. We need to wrestle against our own will and lust and God will help and give us victory. This photo has already inspired many people and may God continually use this candid shot to motivate and encourage people in all walks of life that there is still a groom and his bride which remains pure and white until the holy matrimony. Nothing is impossible with God. We bring all the Glory and Praises to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Everyone loves to watch a video where a soldier gives a surprise to his loved ones! In this one you get to see it the other way around, the soldier's family surprise HIM!

Wow, what a wonderful family event. At the Bentley HS homecoming party an enlisted sibling came out to awe her footballer younger brother. I get teary eyed every time I watch this sister/brother reunion.

There was an unexpected surprise for the National Air and Space Museum visitors as the United States Air Force Band trickled in to perform selected pieces from Johann Sebastian Bach's portfolio. This was the initial from the twenty nine planned flashmobs by the USAF choir and band.

At the Army Aviation Symposium held in Arlington, Virginia last week, one officer of the US Army made an announcement. He said that the Army intends to adopt robots in the future as it tapers down on personnel. The biggest surprise about this statement is the magnitude of the downscaling of personnel. By the year 2019, the US Army intends to attain these numbers: 540,000 personnel to 420,000 personnel. Gen. Robert Cone, the head of the Training & Doctrine Command of the US Army gave a few more details regarding this plan. He added that the Army is looking to reduce the number of soldiers from 4,000 to about 3,000. He added that to keep the efficiency of operations more robots will be added. Share your thoughts

The graduation ceremony at Thompson Valley High School on Saturday is bound to be very special for one of the graduates. From behind the curtain a uniformed individual peaked out, but remained hidden. This uniformed gentleman who came the night before was Tim Miller, a Navy Chief Petty Officer. Miller has been stationed in the Persian Gulf for 7 months, but he wanted to be present in his daughter's high school graduation at the Budweiser Events Center, so he requested for a short leave. He said that he left Dubai at nine in the morning the day before and made it just in time to see his girl. He was stationed on one of the small boats that guard the Persian Gulf. The boats were mandated to protect the bigger ships. Obviously, he was very happy to be given permission to come home for his daughter's graduation ceremony. On the stage he told his surprised but overjoyed daughter, Megan that he loved her and this emotional reunion was just the beginning of a really good day for the Miller family. Miller and his daughter were eventually joined by other family members who witnessed the reunion of father and daughter from the audience. Miller is expected for debriefing at Rhode Island for three weeks, but afterward he can come home in June for good. The proud father can then take his daughter off to college. Megan will be going to the University of South Alabama where she'll be part of the volleyball varsity squad.

There is another Super Bowl ad that has touched our hearts, thanks to the beer company that has already sent us reeling. The ad entitled, "A Hero's Welcome," is all about Lt. Chuck Nadd, a 24-year old United States Army serviceman who has just come home from Afghanistan. This 60 second ad is rather simple. The plot is mainly about the homecoming welcome that the Lieutenant's hometown threw to surprise him. The party scenes were set to P. Diddy and Skylar Grey's fitting hit track, "Coming Home." According to the Washington Post, Lt. Nadd was an operations officer and Black Hawk helicopter pilot. The cameras that were following him were, in his belief, related to a documentary that was being made about soldiers. He also thought they would record him making a speech later at an event to be held at Winter Park, Fl. He was sent home one week and a half earlier that he was supposed to go, so he thought that the event was the reason for the early leave. At the airport, Lt. Nadd was welcomed home by Shannon Cantwell, his girlfriend. Cantwell was in Washington D.C. When Lt. Nadd arrived at Winter Park, he was in for the surprise of his life. He was greeted by hundreds of people including his family members, friends, neighbors, and former teachers. There was even a parade in his honor graced by the Clydesdale horses, the famous Budweiser icons. At the end of the ad, Lt. Nadd and his mother who came all the way from Alabama can be seen hugging. Another Budweiser ad tugged at our hearts earlier in the week with "Puppy Love." This one is about a dog that was separated from its home. The ad was released previously this week. Evidently, the beer company has opted to trigger heart-tugging emotions as the theme for its Super Bowl related marketing. Do you have anything to add to this story? If so, leave a comment.
