I met Janna Marie on a Serenity choir trip one summer when I was something of a teenager. I had met her before but it was in this particular trip, sitting on the back of a bus, that I noticed a certain sparkle in her eyes that caught me from somewhere deep inside the caverns on my soul. She awoke in me a spirit that had such a light about it, that maybe for the first time, it was finally coming to the surface of my being. She helped me though incredible times and adventures in my life and helped me face some pretty heavy times of darkness. Her understanding of both my soul and my journey, undeniably, helped me in my search for God and purpose in this life. She ignited in me a streak of creatively that is still present today. I have loved with her, laughed with her, loss with her but most importantly lived with her... and tomorrow she will walk down the isle to marry the man that she has been waiting for her entire life. Love is a very wonderful and mystical source in the universe and God has called us to look at the most simplest of things and give it love. Unconditional, unbiased and unfiltered love. I am not a simple creature and even our journey together caused significant absences in each others lives as we grew into the people that we have become but missing the opportunity to see her in that magical glowing state of assurance and happiness I get to use the one thing she always told me God had created me for. My imagination. And so... I imagine my sweet Janna, whose hair will undoubtedly be kinked due to the humidity of these September days, walking down the isle with a simple bouquet of flowers that are as subtle and beautiful as her soul. That small twitch of a smile she obtains when shes nervous and her eyes so steadily locked on to the one she will spend the rest of her life with... trying to hold back the tears of relief and appreciation that she will be giving to God in her silent approach to the rest of her life. And God will look down upon her day, rain or shine, with Her mother by her side, and they will smile in gracious silence in a love that will ride the back of the wind upon the face of our blushing bride. And in that moment. That perfect, once in a lifetime moment, there will be a kind of peace. A kind of Love. I love you Janna. You deserve every ounce of love and life that our time on earth could offer and I could not be anymore proud of you. Your faith and ability to love past the negatives of people is something I admire and aspire to accomplish in my own lifetime and My only wish is that You and Cameron spend the rest of your lives looking at what God has made for the other and it be all the proof you need to believe in the plans he makes for each of us. Thank you for being my friend, a soulmate, a guide and an unforgettable part of my existence. May your every day be blessed. Come what may. Jordan
