“Feeling grateful but not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and never giving it.”

It was how Sara started her thank you speech. Both her & her husband, Guillermo, thanked God from the beginning, so obviously grateful to the One who beautifully orchestrated their lives to come together.

Guille’s family had immigrated from El Salvador to Canada when he was a kid. Life had been hard and moving across the world didn’t make it easier right away; as any immigrant family knows, paving the way for your kids to have a better future can be hard, lonely work. But Guille’s parents persevered, trusting that God had an abundant life for them in this new country.

And He did. He brought them friends to call family to make the work less lonely and, ultimately, brought Guillermo his wife. Guille & Sara chose Canada Day as their wedding date as a nod of thanks to the country that has presented so many opportunities for the Garcias, including the coming together of two strong families.

Nothing but gratitude was expressed all day long from everyone there. Hugs & tears & laughter were in abundance, the beauty of these two teaming up for life on display for the world to revel in. His vibrant confidence married to her hopeful peace.

Thanks for having us with you, Guille & Sara. What an honour to laugh/cry/celebrate with you & your families!
