...maybe not the wedding part, but the planning of life part:) i love these moments when God speaks to you through someone else, but there is no doubt that it's all Him.

"The myth of the perfect wedding day is just one more story we tell ourselves to maintain the illusion of control. No amount of pinning or planning will guarantee the perfect wedding, the perfect body, the perfect baby, the perfect home, the perfect life. If I could do it all over again, my wedding would be just as imperfect the second time around...
Try as we may, we don’t get to custom-build our happiest moments. Instead, they sneak up on us. They show up, ready or not, in everyday acts of love and grace—a lazy summer night with all the windows open and the fans blowing,
a love note on a post-it stuck to the mirror,
an unloaded dishwasher,
the smell of home after a long road trip,
forgiveness,
perseverance,
chocolate-chip pancakes,
a finished project,
a shared history,
laughing until you pee in your pants a little,
that hug that feels like the safest place in the world.
It is in these unplanned moments that my boring, traditional wedding and my boring, traditional wedding vows don’t seem so boring after all.
For better or worse...
For richer or poorer....
In sickness and in health...
Is there anything more spectacular than that?"
