Fourteen years ago we got married. I am so thankful to God for my husband and the life we share and the children we share.

We had a smallish wedding. My daughter was in it too. I had a Maid of Honor too. My husband had a Best man and a Groomsman. It was the exact wedding we both wanted.

It was a 2 pm wedding with lots of finger foods at the reception because I didn't want a sit down meal.

I cried throughout the whole ceremony and my eyes weren't even red!!

It was a beautiful day, sort of like today is. It was a fall day since I wanted to be married in the fall.

We were at our hotel by 6 pm. My husband rented a themed room and ours was "Grecian".

He planned the honeymoon too. We were going to do a cruise in Alaska but the last ship sailed one week before we got married.

We went to Maine and Boston and had a beautiful time.

My daughter joined us in Boston for the last few days and we all had a great time.

A lot has happened in our 14 years but I am not sure I would change much that has happened--the good or the bad. I know that God has a plan for us and He has had that plan from the beginning of time.

My husband and I met at dance lessons that a friend and I took together. I hadn't really dated much in the 9 years I had my daughter but decided I needed to learn to two step, three step and the waltz--all country style!!!

And it was all God that we even met since my friend and my class was cancelled and we had to wait to take the class where I met my husband.

We took the next set of lessons and started dated and then 9 months later we got married!!

I love my husband and love the life we have and I look forward to all our years together.

2 Corinthians 5:1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Ephesians 5:22-24

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Genesis 2:23-25
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Weddings...........

We went to a wedding late yesterday afternoon. We don't go to too many weddings lately.
This was a young couple. The groom we have known for about 9 years or so.
It was fun to be with people that we have known so long and have seen grow up. And there were other guests at the wedding we haven't seen in years. It was fun to catch up with everyone. The children aren't children anymore but young adults. It was almost shocking to see the young people grown up.
It was a simple wedding and reception. The reception was supposed to be outside but it was raining so it was in the basement of the church.
I've heard it supposed to be a good thing when it rains on your wedding day!
