In these tough times we’re challenged to move past the obstacles and live in grace. My friends showed us how:
Imagine hosting a destination wedding and people traveling from all over the world to attend. Now add on the Resort’s wedding planner quitting the day you arrive. That’s the situation our friends faced when hosting their Indian wedding in Jamaica. How did they handle it? With ingenuity, pleasant perseverance and grace. Here are some of the things I was so impressed with:
1. Unless you asked, you would have never known that the immediate family was scurrying to get it all done. They never complained.
2. The hosts were attentive, gracious, loving and smiling. They greeted us with open, loving arms and welcomed us to the family and the event. They were there for everyone, whether meeting you at the bus when you arrived, or finding you at the ocean or pool and coordinating events.
3. They rallied all of their closest family and friends to assist. Like a well-run corporation, all events were choreographed and managed by appointed individuals. We even had a team captain for our particular bus back to the airport. He had his list of people, flights and contacts. It appeared seamless and made it easy for the other guests.
4. They focused on what was most important: The blessing of the occasion. Friends and family gathered to witness the joining of two wonderful people in matrimony. That was the heart and soul of the event. And, what a spectacular event it was.
I feel blessed to have been a part of this wonderful event. The Resort service was horrendous, but no one got upset or angry. Everyone remained calm, loving, positive and focused on the joy of the occasion. The attention was on all that was good.
I experienced four days enveloped in love and the spirit of grace. It was a wedding to remember and an event that changed me forever. I understand that no matter the trials and tribulations, there’s nothing more important than remaining in a state of love and grace. Thank you friends for showing me how.
