I'm feeling sorry for myself.
When I look on Facebook, all I see are countless posts from FB friends who are planning their upcoming weddings and engagement/wedding photography blog posts from recent weddings. And it's making me sad.
Weddings are happy. Marriage is wonderful. I loved my wedding, my husband is a blessing, and I couldn't be happier where we are today. But I can't help but feel a little sad that I don't have a wedding to plan for this spring and summer.
Don't get me wrong. I'm more than thrilled for anyone tying the knot. It's a big step and a huge committment; one not to be taken lightly. I sincerely hope that all couples take time to really consider what they're getting into--pledging their love and their lives to one another in front of God, their families, and their friends. Promising fidelity, loyalty, and friendship that will last forever.
Ok, getting a little off topic here. As you can tell, I'm really into marriage. But that's a whole other blog post...
Anyway, I'm just a teensy bit sad that I'll never have another wedding to plan. (I don't like to entertain the thought that I could ever remarry. Again, another blog post. To keep it short, King's the only husband for me.) Yes, my niece Sydney may call on me for help one of these days, or I might have a daughter one day who will need me. But the difference is that I won't be the one in the driver's seat. I'll just be a helper. I couldn't have made it through our wedding without all my little helpers--my mom, sister, niece, aunts, cousins, etc. They were all so wonderful! But I'll never be the one to make the decisions again.
**Sigh**
Oh well. I'm happy. I'm happily married to a happily married man, and we're happily expecting our first baby in a few short months. In case you haven't noticed, I'm happy. So in honor of how happy I am, I'll show you a few photos from THE HAPPIEST day of my life--August 7th, 2010--the day I married King.
Enjoy.
