In 10 days at this time, I'll be getting all dolled up; hair and makeup, lingerie, shoes and the dress. Our flowers will be delivered, photographer will arrive, and I'll make my final drive to the church as Lauren Greenslit.
It's crazy to think how fast it came; way back in November when we became engaged, 10 months seemed like forever-away...and now it's in 10 DAYS.
Over the past few weeks, RSVPs arrived daily, and we were disappointed with how many non-responses there were. Especially when we found out those no-shows were because of work, or games. C'man, really? You've known for 10 months and all of a sudden you can't get work off? Or miss a game? It said a lot to us about certain people, and we had our choice words about it and moved on with our love for one another and focused on the importance of our big day.
That's all it should really be about anyway - love. I actually hate the fact that I have some big expensive dress I'll wear once, and that I have to worry about how my hair and make up will come out, or consider other people's feelings when it comes to the music choices made or the food we've prepared. Aren't we missing the big picture here? People go to weddings because they want to be in the presence of true love, and also, to support those who have been lucky enough to find it. Everything else is icing on the cake.
As the next ten days both drag and fly by, I look forward with anticipation of God's greatest gift. And we feel lucky to have those we love and are close to there to celebrate with us.
"Love is patient, love is kind
It is not jealous, is not pompous,
it is not infalted, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrong doing
but rejoices with truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails."
