Do you, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband...
64 more days... 64 more days... 64 more days... until my beloved and I will be married.
It's been really interesting waiting so long. This long engagement has tried our souls and put us through fire. This long engagement has been logical, realistic. This long engagement has been torture.
It's been really intresting when people ask me how old I am and then freak out when they hear I'm getting married. I suppose I once thought the same thing when I was younger: that people around my age were really young and did they really want to get married? I thought I'd be at least 25 before someone popped the question. I thought I'd be at least 25 before there was even someone. :)
But here I am, about to get married, and it is the most normal, reasonable, dreamy, next-step-to-take event in my life. I am so ready. I guess part of it is I don't feel my age, even though I know I am still quite young. I just feel... older. Almost like I've skipped a few years in my life, but I haven't lost anything. It's weird, I know...
Michael is, quite simply, amazing. Yes, he annoys the heck outta me sometimes. Sometimes I just want to give everything up and stay completely independent because I don't understand men. But that's just a cop-out, a run-away scheme. Yes, we've messed up a lot and hurt each other and made bad choices. But that doesn't mean we quit or give up. Love is a work ethic. We persevere. We forgive. We move on.
This man that captured my heart is such a blessing. I hope and pray that all my friends have relationships just as wonderful as ours, and better. May you be so focused on the Lord that you see each other in His light.
AAH, I am so excited!!! Our wedding is going to be a joyous celebration, the continuation of an amazing relationship, and the beginning of a beautiful union. :D
