It's officially my wedding day!!!
It's been quite a while since my last post, so I had planned to write a more detailed blog earlier this week explaining all of the activities and events going on complete with pictures, but as it has turned out, I've been quite busy! Still, I wanted to stop to document at least a snippet of how I've been feeling this week.
I expected nerves and anxiety to overwhelm me, but it hasn't happened yet. Cory and I have been blessed with the most gracious team of servant-hearted supporters than we could have asked for. From day one, God has been sending us person after person to take care of every need that we couldn't meet ourselves. After the rehearsal today and incredible dinner that followed (provided by my incredible in-laws!), I couldn't get over how I had no idea what had been going on "behind the scenes," and everything was put together so well!
Besides a few rare moments of "HOLY CRAP THIS REALLY HAPPENING" this week, I've been able to relax and get things done thoroughly and on time. The only real hiccups, unfortunately, have had less to do with the wedding and more to do with the health of some family members. Thankfully, prayers are being answered and everyone is feeling well :)
My biggest anxiety about this day is being ready on time. There's so much to do with so little time, but I will do whatever I can to remain calm and focused on the big picture. I'm praying that I'm able to remember that this wedding is not the biggest and most important thing going on in the world today. The past few weeks, there have been some terrible events that have occurred in the lives of those around me. Even though I haven't been really close to the situations, they really hit home and have made me even more grateful for this joyous season that I've been fortunate enough to be in with the love of my life. Our lives could be turned upside down in an instant, so I will praise Jesus for every moment of bliss that we are granted and thank him for the most wonderful person that I get to spend the rest of my life with. I can't contain my excitement for that!
I wish I could carry on longer, but I must get my beauty sleep. I'll be falling asleep while watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding with my favorite little sister and Maid-of-Honor Joanna :) Good night world!
