Despite a forecast of thunderstorms that were anticipated to last the entire day, the rain stopped just in time and opened up clear, sunny skies. God answers even the smallest prayers like a request for the weather.

Family and friends began to take their seats in the gorgeous St. Mary’s Cathedral in Saint Cloud as they waited for the ceremony to begin. A woman seated in the pew next to me whispered, “psst. have you seen the bride yet? Is she nervous?” I replied, “Yes, I have seen her. She does not seem nervous at all. In fact she has an unbelievable peace about her and is so full of joy!”

Nick and Amanda became friends through the St. Cloud Catholic Young Adults Group. They were often spotted attending daily mass together and even had their first date on the feast of Saint Cloud! Which made it all the more special to get married at the cathedral and for the the priests exposed the relic of Saint Cloud for them during the mass! We’re so happy that you two could become one in the place that it all began and wish you the best in the lifetime of love ahead.
