Here is post #2 while I am away in New York! If you want to see post # 1 from my sister, Maddi, click here. This post is from my best friend Kristen! She has recently started a blog called Living In My Adventure. You should totally go check it out! So here she is!
to be writing a little something while Mariah is in the big city. Here are a few
things about me! I love Jesus, I am 19 going on 20, I love all things Disney, my family means everything to me, and my parents are currently missionaries in Haiti. AND the really awesome important thing is that I am in the process of
stealing my best friend’s last name. That is what I want to talk about today.
On October 5, 2013, my best friend, Sean, asked me to become
his wife. It was one of the best days of my life! Our wedding is set for March
2014, which leaves us a five-month time frame to get this thing planned. I am
beyond excited to be beginning this new adventure with Sean, but as we all
know, weddings can be very stressful. I am trying to avoid the stress, and so
far it has been going pretty smoothly (I know… We are only a month in and have
four months to go).
being productive or that things aren’t going as planned, I pray that the Lord
would give me a peace and direct me on what I should be doing. I can never
doubt my God, He has ALWAYS, without fail, provided for me. The Lord has been
showing me to just simply trust in Him. A verse that reminds me of this is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
because I am marrying my best friend, and embarking on a new adventure with him
by my side, leading me and pointing me towards Christ (what more could a girl ask
for?!).
we are having it outdoors, but even then, how fun would that be! I love rain! It would make for some pretty cool pictures, and an interesting story.
Plus, God is in control. He controls the rain and sunshine, so why doubt? He
gave us this day and these venues, He already knows how it will turn out, so
why even begin to stress?
some unique ways to make my wedding even more special. I think about what I could do
that would make this day represent Sean and I even more so.
Some other details about our wedding that I would love to share with you all is that our color scheme is red, white, and black. We are going for
more of a vintage feel with an additional Disney twist (remember…I love all things Disney). We will be having a few
things that resemble Disney’s Pixar “Up”.
with just family in our friend’s back yard that has a beautiful view. Following
will be a huge celebratory reception with everyone that has impacted our lives,
which will be at our church. The Lord has been providing tremendously, and I
can’t wait for our big day!!
Useful stress relieving tips! I think almost anyone will feel stress on such a special day but its important to regulate it as much as possible!
I totally agree!
