Today, Kyle's brother, Joel, was married to his girlfriend, Katelyn. They've been playing house for over a year, I believe, and already have a 9 month old son. Kyle said that the wedding was little more than a ceremony where they said their vows, ate lunch, and went home to take a nap. It was all so anti-climatic. Almost like it was another day to the bride and groom. Isn't a wedding a celebration of two lives coming together-and of one day raising a family?
To Joel and Katelyn, it really was just another day. They are just official and legal now. They had no wedding present for each other. No happiness to finally share with each other after waiting and making the day special and spending it with the one your heart truly loves. They played house-had a child even, and either could have walked away from the relationship, because there was not commitment involved. Who's to say they actually love each other?
I will take what I have heard about today as a non-example of how I want to live. I want to save myself as a wedding gift to my husband. Someone worth waiting for. I also want to throw a huge party for my special day and invite all my friends to celebrate with me what the LORD has put together... two lives, becoming one...
