After planning a wedding for a little over one year... would I say that all the effort was really worth it? All the effort of planning every day after work, calling vendors, designing every graphic there was, creating by hand and imagination every little object that took part in the big production, the planning of flying people out from all around the country, the spending of many dollars, the figuring out of many little battles from tablecloth colors to types of flowers... Was it REALLY all worth it?!
Yup.
ALL worth it.
John and I had the best day of our lives. Minus the fifteen minutes before the ceremony when I had yet to finish my hair and put on my dress and was thus freaking out... everything was perfect. Everything was stress free. There could not have been more happiness between my wonderful husband and myself. He cried like a baby when he saw me at the end of that aisle. That's when I knew it was all worth it. And that's when I knew I was about to make the best decision of my life.
Ever wonder if the day AFTER the wedding, you'll wake up and wonder what you had done? Wonder if the person sleeping next to you is REALLY who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with? Because now... you're stuck. In it forever. No way out...
Well if you just married the person you know God planned for you... you wake up with a smile. And although you've been dating that person for years and experienced so much love, so much happiness, you can't imagine it getting any better. Yet when you wake up that next morning, and look over into your new husband's eyes... You feel more love, more happiness, than you ever knew was possible.
People tell me it won't last... they say that after you've been with the same person day in and day out for ten years, that feeling will go away. Well.. it might be true... for some. But love is a choice, and with that choice comes some of the most amazing feelings God has created. With that said... I chose on October 9th to love John... the rest of my life. And him and I will continue to fall in love... even ten years from now.
Thus the adventures of married life begins. I've already cooked several meals, baked several delicious items, and cleaned. I believe I'm well on my way to being a real wife.
Thanks, Lord, for marriage. For love. For John.
-Mrs. Christian (cheesy, I know...)
