2 is better than 1

I went to a wedding on Saturday night. It has been forever since I've gone to a wedding as a guest. I forget how much effort goes into just participating on a guest level, and not just a bridesmaid. Pricey! Weddings are an excuse to dress up and feel pretty for a night. Here is my attempt. I clean up ok... I think?
Anyways... E had agreed to be my plus one to this event awhile back, but then again that was before I decided to spill my heart to him a few days before. I was a bit nervous of what the night would bring but that's what alcohol is for, right? Kidding. Sorta. It ended up being a great night. We had a good time visiting with an old friend and her husband. E was a trooper for tagging along, especially since he didn't know anyone there, but me. He's a gentleman in every sense of the word.

I think every little girl dreams of what her wedding will be like. It starts at  very young age. For example, there was a little girl sitting in front of us on Saturday. She maybe was 4 or 5 years old. She kept saying "Is she a princess? Is she a princess Mommy?" It made me laugh but then also realize that even at 4 or 5 years old little girls get this illusion that when they grow up, they will marry their prince and live happily ever after. Here I am at 30, still hoping and wishing that I will someday find my prince and live OUR version of happily ever after. I still believe in fairy tales albeit a modified version of one. Life isn't perfect. Neither are people, but I still believe in the idea of marriage even though we live in a world that seems to be the exact opposite. I believe that we were never meant to live our lives alone but in the company of family, friends, and your hearts true desire.

Ecclesiastes 4:
9 Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
¹⁰ If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.
¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
    But how can one keep warm alone?
¹² Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken




I have a lot to offer someone who is willing to share their life and love with me in return. I am good enough. I am worthy of enough. Someday I will experience this. Someday there will be a little girl attending my wedding asking her Mommy if I am a princess while I stand in front of my family, friends, and God vowing to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, with my true love. My impefectly perfect Mate. God is good. God is faithful.  His timing is never early, never late. Always on time. HIS time.

Happy Monday.
