I have been blessed with a husband who granted me the same wish. On the 29th of this month, I will mark the 8th year of when I walked down the very long aisle of this majestic place to meet my love at the altar and start our wonderful life together.

It is! It amazes me that the older the church gets, the more majestic it looks. I'll share some more pics of this church when I write about our upcoming wedding anniversary. I'm glad you liked it.
