We doing some catering for the place Olivia is chef at. Last weekend Olivia and I catered a small wedding that was so sweet. The family was a joy to work with. The bride was a widow with three young children. It was beautiful to watch her with her new husband as she glowed… and I think he was as radiant as she was.
Her mother told me, “She never thought she’d love again.” This was one of those weddings you were glad you got to be a small part of.
Maybe it was the hardship of unexpected loss when her first husband died, but she was a non-demanding bride as her mother did most of the organizing. You could tell she was just so happy to just be with her Love, little else mattered.
Her cake was super easy with butter-cream icing.
Fruit and vegetable display, chicken salad croissants, cheese and crackers, smoked tuna salad with pita chips and cheese straws.
“So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.” 1 Timothy 5:14

What a sweet story. I was a young widow with 4 young children (8 weeks and up)and I was blessed with a 2nd love also. My new husband and I have been married 7 years now. God is so good.
