I can't thank my mother enough for helping us to have our wedding at an inn that is handling nearly everything for us!! Our stress has been minimal in regards to wedding planning even though we only had three months to plan our wedding. And, one of those months we were still in Taiwan and one of those months we were busy spending time with each other, sightseeing, and meeting with family.
Also, our pre-marital counselor (a missionary in Taiwan) gave us a golden piece of advice. He told Lawrance to give me one specific set time each week to talk about wedding stuff with him, the rest of the time we were to work on continuing to build our relationship and prepare for marriage. We weren't supposed to discuss wedding stuff 24/7. It was golden advice. It was great for me, and, I think, it was good for him too.
So, I thought I'd share with you just exactly what our current mental states are:
You'd be amazed (well then again, if you know us IRL, maybe you wouldn't) at how many people have told us how loud our house is going to be--a place of fun and laughter and just sheer joy!! Of course, we hope we also have done the same thing with the wedding. We hope it is a fun, fun, time of joy and laughter . . . and an opportunity to glorify God because He is our everything, the reason for all the fun and laughter we share.
Our wedding is in two days . . . here we go!!
"Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
What joy!"
(Psalm 126:3 NLT)
I'll be thinking about you guys tomorrow. Praise the Lord!!! And have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best. I look forward to continuing to read about your "unknown path". May the future hold all that you require to become the couple God has intended.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for the last few years in my reader and I am so excited for you guys. I might not know you in real life but it has been great getting to know you online. I will be praying for you throughout the day tomorrow and throughout your first year as you get settled into your new life. God is so great and while you might have wanted to know the end of the story at the beginning it was a great read having to see what he would do!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! Have the best day ever!
ReplyDeleteYou'll most likely read this after the wedding now:) But wanted to say how much of a joy it's been to see your journey, here and on WPB. It shows how God does indeed order our steps and direct our paths and all we need do is trust in Him and pray, as He leads us.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you both as God continues to shape your story that His glory shines through and through and that you both enjoy one another every day of your life together in both good & bad.
My thoughts will be with y'all as you begin this journey of husband and wife tomorrow. God is good!
ReplyDeleteI hope your wedding went well and that you're loving married life!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and blessings to the happy couple!
ReplyDeleteI guess you're too busy being married so there's no time for blogging... And that's how it should be too!
Hope the wedding was a blast - and I'm sure it was :)
