A Visitation Wedding

This past Saturday I had the honor of attending the wedding of a Visitation alumna. What a perfect winter wedding it was. The music at the liturgy was as exquisite as any I have heard, the hospitality of both families was front and center, and the bridal party was popuated by wonderful women and men. Most of the women were Visitation alumnae, supporting their Vis friend, the bride.

Everything about the wedding was lovely, but, for me, a capstone moment came at the reception when one of the bridesmaids, one of our Vis girls, described the bride as being an examplar of Salesian spirituality. Even though these ladies had graduated a number of years ago, the special stamp of the Sisters' charism was right there in the middle - at the heart of - this beautiful wedding. Amazing.
