Covenant Marriage

Here's another website that I found describing a covenant marriage. It has a much better explanation of it all. I hope this helps those of you who have asked!

Another Wedding Update

Wow...It's getting close! Less than a month away now. Things are slowly coming together. This past weekend we ordered our cake. Its going to be two round layers sitting on top of each other....(I didn't want the whole pillar thing separating them). It will be off white with dusty blue flowers. Instead of a cake topper...we decided to just have them fill the top with the dusty blue roses. It's sooo purty. I wish we had a picture.

We visited Mawmaw and Pawpaw for Easter and were telling them more details of the wedding. I guess they should know...since it's going to be in there house...lol. Mawmaw seemed kinda shocked when I explained what a covenant marriage was. That seems to be the reaction that we have gotten out of most people. I don't understand what the problem is. I mean...marriage is supposed to be a lifelong contract between two people and God. Is it not? So why are people so shocked and concerned when they learn that we are signing a legal document to make it just that? It almost pisses me off. Maybe nowadays most people don't have the balls to do what we are doing? Maybe people like knowing that if there marriage fails...they can take the easy way out? Maybe when they get married they aren't so sure it will work?

Well...we are definately sure. We know that we were put together for a reason. God brought us together...and this is the way it is supposed to be. From the moment we first met...neither one of us has had any doubts. And after living together for over 6 months...neither one of us has found anything about the other that we don't like...or can't live with. We have never fought or had an argument. It has been wonderful. I'm sure down the road we will have disagreements...or things we do will annoy each other. But we are prepared for that. It's only natural. And we are only human.

Wedding Update

Wow...a little less than 6 weeks till the big day. We are getting excited. And things seem to be running smoothly so far. We have the minister, who can also counsel us for our covenant marriage...we have our rings...I have my dress...and Jon has his suit...the flowers are pretty much taken care of...and we have a photographer. The invites were sent out early last week, so everyone should have them by now. And most importantly...we have a place to get married...lol.

The ceremony is going to be at my grandparents house. Their house is nice and spacious and we should be able to cram 20-25 people in it...lol.

Jon's parents will be coming down for the wedding too. It will be there first time here in New Orleans. We just wish we had more time to show them around. But things will be so hectic while they are here. We are just glad that they can come.

Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly during all this preparation :)
