| | Exactly one month from today, at approximately 7:30 p.m., I will be a married woman! I'm so excited!!!!
So, we met with my pastor for our whirlwind marriage counseling weekend. And it could not have gone better. My pastor is super duper nice, and the first day (Saturday), we talked about the practical aspects of marriage such as finances, children, careers, and COMMUNICATION (my specialty lol). He got a small bio from FI, and since he has known me for the past seven years, he pretty much knew a lot about me. Then we just talked about the practical stuff, and it was really fun. I was really tired though (my stinkin allergy to nature makes me drowsy) and I kept yawning, so FI thought I was bored, but I wasn't.
Then on Sunday, we met again and talked about the spiritual side of marriage. I got a lot out of that, and my pastor shared his story with FI, and it suprised me that their stories are so similar, so I hope that my FI got something out of it. We read verses in Ephesians 6 about marriage, and FI loved the part about wives submitting to their husbands. What a guy.
And I finally sat down with FI and picked out some music for the reception, and I figured out what I am going to walk down the aisle to (I think). The contender right now is "Meant to Be" by Jim Brickman, which I heard last night and thought it was beautiful. Our unity candle song is going to be "Love is here to stay" by Frank Sinatra. My sister is gathering all the ceremony music and compiling it onto one CD, and FI is compiling all the reception music and putting it onto a CD. Since our reception is so late at night (it starts at eight) and I don't want to be there all night, we are only planning on about an hour and 15 mins to an hour and a half of dancing. I'm not a great dancer, and FI doesn't really enjoy dancing (but he does enjoy teasing me about my lack of skills), so this is perfect for us. Plus, I'll have been up for a really long time and will most likely be tired.
Also hammered out a preliminary order of service. Details when they are finalized.
Whew, that's a long post. I'll save some for later!
