It's amazing the number of people who plan their weddings to a tee before they get engaged or even meet someone!
Trust me, as soon as you get engaged a lot of your carefully made plans will go out the window.
I thought I'd get married outside - I'm not.
I thought I'd have a small-ish wedding - no chance there!
When I was a teenager (and not Christian), I planned my wedding, even though I was far too young to get married and didn't have a boyfriend. I (like many non Christians) expected to live in a defacto relationship before marriage and already own my own home. Obviously Duncan and I are not living together and we don't have enough money to buy a house.
Times change and so do decisions.
I hear so many chicks saying, "My wedding will be like this.....". For a start, it's not my wedding - it's ours. A wedding is between two people. You are not marrying yourself.
Some singles have criticised me for changing my plans so Duncan and I can compromise. I tell them that if they get engaged, their carefully made plans will probably change too as they'll want to compromise with their fiance.
A marriage is about two not one, or rather about two becoming one. A wedding is a good place to start practising that.
