Marriage prep is crazy--wonderful and beautiful, yes, but still crazy. We sigh longingly. We pace impatiently. We doubt. We love. We doubt some more.
Doubts come from fear--fear that maybe I'm not ready for such a big step. Life without the stresses of planning a wedding sounds pretty appealing at times. But then, I can't imagine the alternative. Not so much the wasted dress or reception hall, but the wasted opportunity to grow in love with my beloved, my Andy.
And so we deal with all the aggravating details. And I try not to get frustrated or cranky every time something doesn't go as planned. Because, ultimately, God is planning something far greater--the miracle of two lives becoming one through the sacrament of marriage. We're only in charge of one day's festivities. He's in charge of all eternity.
I think we've got the easier job.
