My Wedding Day

It's early enough in the morning that no one else is up.  It gives me time to ponder on the fact that I am truly getting married today.  Just a short time ago, I was certain I was going to live out my days living at my dad's and going to work.  God brought Joel back into my life just at the right time and I am amazed by that. 

This day is something I've thought about for years and it is here.  I'm trying to cherish every moment, but because Joel and I really wanted a simple wedding, there really wasn't that much to do.  We aren't having a party.  We aren't having a reception.  Joel's niece made a beautiful wedding cake for us, but other than that, no food will be served.  Joel and I aren't going on a honeymoon; in fact, we're going to the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" tonight.

But it's still my wedding day.  It's a very special day.  There are clouds about, threatening rain, but that doesn't matter to me.  The weather is being forecast as being partly cloudy and maybe God will honor us with some sunshine when the time comes.

I wonder if I will cry.  I've always figured this would be a perfect time for tearing up, but I rarely cry in front of others.  Actually, I hope it's very relaxed and mixed with laughter.  I want it to be fun and not stuffy.  I'm sure I'll be on here later to give an update and add pictures.

Happy Wedding Day to us!

  2. It was a perfect day, Amy. There were children about, being children, laughter, joy, and just the right amount of romance. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. I always thought it was the marriage that mattered; not the big circus-type weddings that some people have. Anyway, thanks for responding and letting me get to know you better!
