To Be? Yes! (but not to be for less than $5,000)
Ok, so I'm getting married in less than 7 months!! So exciting right? Extremely!
But wait a minute...flowers, cake, candles, favors,food, invitations, not to mention the wedding dress, it's all getting soo expensive..and that's with the "cheap" stuff. I have in my mind a very elegant, simple wedding. But I cannot believe how fast this is all adding up to be. I haven't even really bought anything yet and I'm already in over my head. The budget is indeed supposed to be $5,000. We also gave ourselves an extra $500 to cover the last minute stuff that always comes up. But it just seems like so little.
So my proposal is: $5,000 is not going to be enough for the wedding I would love to have. If I get one thing I want, the other thing has to be forgotten, and if I want another thing then I must give up another.
So, instead of all this mess, elope!!!
Ha..gotchya. Nah, but what about just having a simple ceremony out on a lawn..or it could still be at my church, but no decorations, just the maid of honor and best man as attendants. Then, just family and close friends attend and we all just go to one of the family's big houses and have a big reception of sorts there.
That would save a ton of money and we could just have a fabulous honeymoon! (which is already booked by the way! =)
REACTIONS??
I just don't know how my family would react. I'm the baby and they are all really excited about me having this big ordeal which to tell you the truth, I don't really care either way. I just know that if I had the "big ordeal" I would want it a certain way..and we don't have that kind of money. At this point, I could still be swayed either way.

Revival Results!!
Wow!! Is God awesome or what?!
We had a total of five people receive the Holy Ghost and two were baptized in Jesus' name! It was an incredible weekend ya'll. We had an encounter with God that's for sure!
And now, I'm at a loss for words. =) I guess I'm pretty tired. You ever have one of those really long Mondays?
Oh yeah, my parents are going to Russia and Ukraine tomorrow for three weeks to teach family life and marriage seminars. Also, my dad will be teaching his specialty, church history. That's actually the real reason they are going over there lol..the marriage class was actually a last minute request.
I wish I were going!! I miss it a lot over there. Maybe that's what I'll talk about next time and show you a few pictures from our last trip!
Well good night everyone!
