"Whatever path God has for you, what you are living now (and what you are not) is a necessary preparation to be able to embrace Him later. Trust.”
Marriage is not about the dress or the dream party, and Daniela and Gabriel understand this deeply. To reflect this belief, her friends organized a unique bachelorette party focused on prayer before Jesus in the Eucharist.
María Paula Aldana, a digital content creator, shared a video on her Instagram account “Somos Suyos” showcasing the surprise event for Daniela, her close friend who is about to get married. Aldana emphasized that Daniela and Gabriel's commitment to a holy courtship brought them closer to understanding the sacrament of marriage.
Aldana recounted a conversation with Daniela, who had long planned her dream wedding on Pinterest.
When Gabriel proposed, Daniela revealed that the specifics of the wedding no longer mattered as much as the fact that it was with Gabriel. Their journey emphasized that marriage is about the decision to love someone with the aim of leading them to heaven, not about the wedding's details.
To honor this perspective, Daniela’s friends planned an unusual bachelorette party. On the night of Pentecost, they held a prayer session in front of Jesus in the Eucharistic adoration chapel. They asked Jesus to bless Daniela and Gabriel's union and invited the Holy Spirit to be present in their lives.
Many users left supportive comments, sharing their own similar experiences with Jesus in the Eucharist. One user highlighted the importance of living each stage of life with Jesus, regardless of pain.
Another praised the unique bachelorette party as the best gift Daniela could receive, and someone else expressed joy at seeing young people testify to their faith and start their homes with God’s blessing.
A user shared how their husband proposed in front of the Blessed Sacrament, emphasizing the significance of having Christ at the center of their lives.
Another recounted friends who met in the parish and spent an hour in adoration before getting married and arriving late to their wedding dance, still dressed as bride and groom, with Christ as their honored guest.
This story reflects a deep commitment to faith and love, emphasizing the importance of Divine love as the source of human love and the foundation for a lifelong union.
