Last Minute Changes

It is funny how many unexpected things come up when you are planning a wedding. You go into wedding planning having certain expectation on how things will look, or how much something will be, or how a certain thing may pan out...and I have come to learn that 9 times out of 10 things don't go the way you hope or expect them to go. Now, it sounds like I am being really negative, but as our wedding is getting nearer and I have almost a whole year of experience in this matter, I prefer to call myself a realist.

I have faced more financial trials with this wedding than I have in my entire life and I have had my patience tested over and over again. However, I am loving every second of this. I know that the financial trials that Adam and I have faced together through planning this wedding are there to teach us and mold us so that when we face these kinds of trials as a married couple we will be better equipt to deal with them...although, I must be honest I tend to react in a stress and paniced manner when these kinds of trial present themselves. But it is cool to see that even in this God has molded Adam and I perfectly for one another because in the instances when I am stressing out and worrying Adam is calmly working through the situation and all the time reminding me to place my trust in God and not to worry because He has a plan to take care of us. I feel like through the experience of planning our wedding I have truely grown closer to God by having to rely on Him in almost every aspect of the planning.
