Wedding Blessings

Man is God good, I can't even begin to fully express how much God has been in our wedding planning process.  I feel as if His hand is not just on the wedding-to-be but on our relationship as well.  I've heard about so many weddings that were just one major stress after the other, and the day of wasn't any better.  It is my goal to do absolutely NOTHING but relax, be pampered and enjoy my new hubby the day of the wedding.  In order to achieve this lofty goal, I am doing all the necessary prep work-well me and my awesome God. 

One of my huge weaknesses is the WE channel, where you can find "Say Yes to the Dress", "Bridezillas" and "My fair Wedding".  What amazes me about these shows is the amount of $$$$$ people will spend on ONE day.  To each his own, but the moment we got engaged me and Christian had a very solid view of how we wanted our priorities set. Home first, wedding later (if possible).  So already there was a question if we would even have one.  After prayer and lots of consideration, we decided we wanted both-but we wanted to be smart, and there would be absolutely NO debt associated with our wedding-rings and all (which we've heard people do now-a-days!)

God showed favor in giving us a home that is perfect for where we are in life.  It's beautiful, and as the months go by it is more filled-with 'things' and with love.  I love our home.

My wonderful parents have been such a blessing in paying for the majority of our venue, which includes the caterer, DJ, and quite a bit of decorations.  Huge right?!? Yes it is, what was awesome is that we saw one venue...fell in love and reserved our date.  We hardly had to look at all, it will be the location for both the ceremony and the reception-hassel free!  God has handed us a huge gift in our photographer-who is amazing, and reasonably priced, both of our parents have purchased us decorations here and there, our invitations and programs are being done by one of my bridesmaids uncles-who is amazing btw, and is doing our stuff at a fraction of the cost that is normally charged!  I've been stressing over hair and makeup-and a past co-worker is offering to do it!  I bought my authentically vintage 50's gown for so little-took it to get altered last week, and if it hadn't been for me being slightly picky in one area it would have been done already! I could truly go on and on.

Literally every week we are greeted with a different blessing, whether its something we are getting for free, or a much better price, God continues to bless our union-to-be.  He makes us look good, and I can't thank or praise Him enough for the Love He is and gives.  We are almost at the 3 month mark, and everything is going as planned.  I can not wait to marry my mister, at the end of the day wedding or not...I want to be His wife...that's what it's all about.  Marriage is good, and it matters.

Cheers :)
