Gettin' Hitched

I hate weddings.

That being said, I've had fun at the last 3 I've been to :)  God used the wedding of my friends David and Ellie to help me grow closer to Him in May 2009.  He laid my wife on my heart after that.  Then my sister got married a year, to the day, after in May 2010 to my friend Andrew.  Their blog should be linked from mine.  He's a good brother-in-law, and I'm glad she married him.  I had fun at the reception too.  I 'danced' a bit.  I can't dance, and I'm horribly self-conscious, but sometimes I just don't care.  Jason DeRulo will be played at my wedding reception.  I'm going to have to convince my wife to let our first dance be to "In My Head" LoL.  Either that, or I'll have to get in shape and learn the dance :P  I may do the latter one and just sing it to her.  Chris Brown's "Forever" is on my list too.  Jason DeRulo is the soundtrack to my last 3 years.  Tonight's wedding was for my friends Jon and Katie Alligood.  I wish them well.  The wedding was nice.  I'd never been to the Botanical Gardens, and I've lived in Athens for 7 years.  It rained, so we packed the reception room.  Still, it doesn't matter.  Jon and Katie are married.  It's been a long time coming :)  I'm happy for them.

I say that weddings suck because it reminds me how single I am.  As I think about it though, I think for once in my life I'm finally glad I'm single.  It's nice not having someone fully dependent on me.  If I'm honest with myself, I couldn't support someone right now anyway.  Once I get my Masters and have a job with a steady income for a year or so, and save up some money, then maybe.  I'll only be like 28 by then, so it's not too bad.  A lot of my friends have married young, some are already divorced :(, and they have their own lists of struggles.  Still, they have each other.  It's not good for Man to be alone, that's why God created Woman.  Also still, some of the greatest Christians were single.  So, really, I shouldn't worry about it either way, and just focus on my mission in life right now.  I must do my job, make one last A at UGA, find an internship that could lead to a job, and move from there.  If God chooses to bless me along the way, so be it.  I know I'm not perfect, but I know I'll love her completely.  As for tonight, God bless Jon and Katie Alligood :)

For the Kingdom,
