I used to watch shows like Bridezillas, My Fair Wedding and Say Yes to the Dress, thinking that I needed everything all those women had for their weddings. But as I grew closer to God, I realized that those things were not necessary and in fact could strain a marriage financially in the long run! Why would I want to get a horse-drawn carriage, when we could use that money on a house or a car payment? It does seem silly to me now, I guess I have matured! ;)

Now I hardly watch those shows and when I do, I sometimes wonder if the brides really are in love. Do they really know what marriage means? That love means sacrifice? Most of the time, I figure they don't know what they are in for.

So the perfect marriage for me would be a white dress, my family, and most importantly the man God has for me. That's about it. I don't even need food, it we're that financially strained. I do want cake though! :D

Also, I found this and thought I would share.

Why spending less on your wedding could save your marriage

"Couples spend $30,000 on average planning their big day–but new research shows the more you spend, the shorter your marriage will be."

No worries Molly, I had a crush on Fonzie now I know the show was on before I was born, but I loved his rough, tough exterior but inside he had a heart of gold.

My husband and I would've went to the Justice of the Peace, but we had the wedding for the family - it was more so they could celebrate with us, than it was some desire for the perfect day for us.

That's funny! My aunt who is about 20 years older than us told me the same thing about Fonzie. :D

My brother had the Woody doll as a child, even though I would take it from him and make him Barbie's boyfriend (I never really liked Ken) but eventually it got beat up, old and dirty so mom threw it away. Then when I was 18 I got the same Woody doll for Christmas from the Disney store. Best gift ever! I have him put up so it won't get dirty this time ;)

My sister had the biggest crush on Chuck Norris. One time my grandma convinced her that she wrote a letter to him that her grand daughter had a crush on him and wanted to meet him. She had her convinced for two years until my sister caught on.

Wow, Jamie! You are a giver, not a mean person (and that can be seen on your openess).

I´m happy to see God helps "the man who fight his fears".

My Junior year in highschool, we had class competitions...one day was dress as a famous person day...I dressed up as Chuck Norris. I ended up getting that nickname until I graduated...I think I heard every joke just from that experience.

Wow!

"Statistically, divorce is higher among the deeply religious, literal-minded Christian community. Mainly because their expectations are often unrealistic, because they are fed in church as youth concerning selection of a mate: "God will do all the work, just sit back and wait."

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't findChuck Norris, he finds you.
Your search - Chuck Norris - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:

  • Run, before he finds you.
  • Try a different person.
  • Try someone less dangerous.

I'm not sure if I overstated this - but I have read that people with a strict view of relationships (especially from a sexual manner - and cohabitation is frowned on because having sex is assumed by extension) in this climate, tend to have a more rocky time with it.

And gender role beliefs and ideas play a huge factor in friction between couples.
