A Wedding Gift

A friend got married last month, and I felt prompted to make her a wire crochet love nest necklace as an additional gift, as a symbol of her starting a new nest and a new life. This was the work in progress:

As I was making it I just felt the joy that God has for this pair of newly-weds, and His pleasure of a new nest being set up in His Tree. A verse comes to mind:

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Mark 10:6-9

Coincidentally (or not), the new couple has also used this verse in their montage presentation at the wedding. Although I did not get to speak to them to convey my well-wishes as I had to leave halfway, I hope my gift filled in the gaps. Congratulations Qiaoyun and Meng Yaw! :)
