Operation Celebration

So I promised in the first post that I would keep you updated on the preparations for the wedding. It has been 1 month and 4 days since Taylor asked me to be his bride and we have almost everything planned! It has been C.R.A.Z.Y. who knew that weddings had SO many details?

The list could go on.... like the energizer bunny. Seriously. The more we've gotten into planning this wedding the more I've realized how expensive things can get and I began to "freak out", if you will, about money and cutting costs but i've been reading in the Bible about weddings. i figure where better to get inspiration from. Weddings are a BIG deal with fancy fabric and good food. It's a true celebration of Christ and his sparkling, radiant, pure and holy Bride! Words which we are not worthy of as the collective Bride of Christ, and words that I am not worthy of as Taylor's bride. BUT words that we are all worthy of because the sweet redemption of the Lord! How exciting! I get to walk down the isle only to meet the eyes of my earthly groom and I can stand before him knowing that I am radiant, knowing that I am pure, knowing that I am complete because that's how the Lords sees me. The Lord yearns to wash his Bride through his Word and present her holy and blameless to Himself. You better belive the Lord goes big or goes home for a celebration like this! Not over the top, but just right.


I am beyond excited to marry Taylor. Can you imagine how excited we will be for the BIGGEST wedding of our lives? The wedding when the Lord peels back the veil that we've been wearing since the beginning of time and we get to look full into the face of our Creator. Talk about a wedding that I don't want to miss!!
