22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:22-33
New International Version (NIV)
All love stories are unique and there are infinite ways to love someone. But, what does that have to do with a pickle in a snow storm?
I entered Trav and I in a 5,000 dollar value wedding contest (link below) and I had to share our love story in 150 words or less. WOW. What an incredible thing to mull over.
Can I express to these judges the power of our love and the extravagance of our tale in less words than it takes to explain anything?
And how am I supposed to win?
Even with all this panic I tried. We'll see how it goes, I'll let you know.
In addition to my love story I had to submit ONE photo of us! Just one?! Soooo much pressure.
Any how this is the one I chose:
I thought it was fitting because in my story I explained how he provides for our son and I, and the rules say a picture of "you and your partner" so this way I was able to sneak baby H in there too. ;)
PLUS, this was the most recent professional photograph we've had taken (I can't wait for engagement photos!!).
This contest is so important to me because I am DEAD SET on "the date." Yes, THEE Date I want for our Weddin'. But Trav says it's all too soon for our Mason jar piggy bank. It's the biblical truth that wives should submit to husband's and do so gracefully so I must in good practice take what he says to heart. So this contest I pray will give us the simple, home grown, ceremony and reception that is filled with love, and on the date my heart desires.
And here's our "piggy" bank for giggles:
We've got work to do!
Are you in the process of planning your wedding? How are you getting creative in the budget process? Are you already married? Did you overcome the dollar and have a successful wedding? I'd love some comments or emails! Happy Tuesday y'all! Tomorrow my big fella will be 7 MONTHS OLD!! Be ready for a by month update!!
