Getting married.

As of April 13th 2010, I have been engaged to my fiance. :)

He's more than I could have ever thought God would bless me with. I am beyond grateful for this relationship. The Lord uses the both of us to teach each other things, remind each other of things, and allow us to let go of things throughout this relationship and it has made both of us stronger in our walk with Jesus Christ and in our love and friendship with each other.

Josh is an amazing man of God and my best friend.<3 So here I am, engaged and getting married in October. I don't know anything about throwing a wedding. Also, I've never been to one that I was old enough to remember. I've read some magazines and almost a thousand websites regarding weddings...and I still don't know how to organize one. Our budget is tight and don't have much of a vision for our wedding day. :\ Most girls dream about getting married and have a crystal clear image of how they want their wedding to look like. Me, I never even thought of the idea of getting married til last year! I'm a simple person and would have a backyard wedding with 10 people, but God has so much more in mind for us. To be honest, I don't know what I'm doing...Also, I've learned the average American spends about $20,000 on a wedding. Why do people spend so much just for one day? I wonder how much they've invested in the days after...how much love, how much honor they put in their vows after they've been said... It's pretty easy to get excited about amazing things God has planned out for you--but the most important thing to remember is to always HONOR JESUS first. Stay pure, always read your bible otherwise, you'll forget God's image in all of this excitement and ultimately enter a promise land without him. Also, it's very important you strengthen your faith by keeping your heart clean by reading your word. Talk to people and listen to your elders--they've been through a lot, maybe they can help direct you and inspire you. So, in either blessings or in waiting...be at peace and know God's hand on your life is mightier than you think. Pray about everything! He is our God and will not let you fall. Well, I've got a lot of work ahead of me. Pray for me! God bless you! <3 love, C
