The Forecast Says Rain

So what do you do when you've planned an outdoor wedding in a garden on a day that is predicted to have 100% rain....??

You give up your vision for His, you leave your perfection for His perfect love, you surrender your plan for His better plan.

At the end of the day, Ben and I are making an unbreakable covenant between us and God - a promise of forever spent honoring and loving each other because that's what Christ has done for us.

Rain or shine, nothing will deter that. Nothing will take away from vowing to one another and committing our lives to one another. And once again, God shows me that I need to hold my plans loosely and look to Him. His are always better anyways.

The Women in My Life

One of the best parts of wedding planning has been the people that have risen up to assist me, take off the stress, ask me questions, talk with me late at night, and love me through and through.

If nothing else, I have learned that I have the best friends in the whole world.

They are the true, loyal, lifelong type of friends – the ones that are honest with me and themselves, live authentically, and will drop anything to be there for me. These are the people I aspire to live like – and I can truly say that my friends make me better. They love me and give to me more graciously and steadfastly than I deserve.

I am so honored that God has given me such incredible women to step alongside… they are everything to me! In just 10 days they will be here with me, and everything will feel right and real. It’s the one time in life this will ever happen – 7 of my best friends in one room?! – and I would be lying if I said I am already sad for it to be over. Just to know that these girls are flying across the country to stand by my side… I feel honored and humbled. Engagement is truly an incredible process and I am savoring every single day left.

Our Wedding is 11 Days Away

And all I can say is AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
