Joshua is still alive. Check!
I am not a bridezilla. Check!
However, my maid of honour Samantha will say I yell a little, and I simply say I am passionate when I talk.
Day two of wedding planning has come to an end, and I can positively say I would make a great wedding planner. I have my guest list, venue, caterer, wedding party, dress, pastor, cake, bachelorette plan, flowers and decorations planned and in the binder. I have everyone delegated to their to do lists, and everyone important in the know. Phew!! Did I mention I’m exhausted?
Well first let’s start with some advice. Listen up men!! If you are going to propose I suggest you do not do it after 10 pm because my fiancé did it on a whim (we had been discussing marriage for months) and it was about 11:30 pm on a school night. I did not get to sleep until 4am. I had a 38 minute nap yesterday. Last night you would think I would have been in bed early, but nope it was 2am by the time my brain turned off and morning came quick and I generously accepted it. Here I am now blogging, and rewriting everything that my bridal party and I planned out tonight over coffee and laughs. Oh ya, did I mention I even have my newlywed suite booked and gifted to me by my Auntie? Yea that was also checked off the list!
It is amazing how fast this is coming together. Okay let’s get this out of the way. Why the heck am I getting married so fast? Well, Paul the Apostle said it was better to marry than to burn with passion. The conviction we feel is in the forefront of our relationship and we feel called to marry in front of God and to serve one master. Our Father. We cannot be one foot in and call ourselves Christians. Also, long story short (don’t worry long story will be told) God brought us together, you’ll understand later, and the confirmations that continue to reveal themselves is undoubtably undeniable! Joshua and I lived lives that some point their noses at, and that’s okay. Jesus loves the sinners, and the broken. We were both.
I am giving it all to our Lord to give us all we need. Yesterday I had no idea how I would pull this off, and today I am utterly amazed how fast it has come together and how less stressed I am. Our wedding is coming along just as it should.
This is my second wedding. The first was a lesson, a cry for acceptance and a possibility of family. It also was short lived and full of toxicity, drama and unfaithfulness. Joshua wants me to experience what I deserve and I also agree the same for him. We would 1000% elope tomorrow if we were selfish, but his Mom just so happens to be in town in December, and so our wedding date fell into our laps based off what was possible while not taking away from my fiancés birthday two days before and Christmas holidays that follow.
I for once in my life am truly authentic in everything I write. I also am not marrying for acceptance because I have been accepted by the only one that matters already. I feel free. I feel loved. I feel content.
Jerry Maguire couldn’t have said it any better. Joshua, “I love you. You complete me.”
