And folks, that means you can't just read it, you have to actually leave a comment with your opinion!! If you are really comment challenged, then shot me an email. Indulge me people!
Ok - this is a fun topic...well, fun to some I guess! Kevin and I have been talking about our wedding lately (gasp - what?!? Did she say wedding? Yes, she did! Now, before the gossip really kicks up, let me say this - we are not officially engaged or anything. We are kind of like that Dixie Chicks song "I shouldn't be wearing white and you can't afford no ring." LOL!) Ok - seriously, it is not a matter of if we get married but when. I mean really do you think we we've been through all this and stuck by each other for nothing? :-) Our love has done nothing but grow stronger with each trial that has come our way.
So...here's where your opinion matters (sort of - I mean you know we'll do what we want anyway! Ha!). What kind of wedding should we have? After all, it is a second marriage for both of us. But, then you gotta look at our history and all we've been through together over just the past 2 1/2 years...that doesn't even count us breaking each others hearts when we were 15 years old. He will, of course, tell you that I broke HIS...But, I am getting off topic...
Here are the wedding options we have come up with:
Option 1 ~ (Kevin's idea & a sweet one at that) We could get married in Newport at the church where we met & grew up in as little kids by the preacher we both loved as kids. Small, simple, very casual ceremony with close friends and family.
Option 2 ~ (my idea) We could take our parents on a trip and just get married on a beach somewhere barefoot in the sand...no stressful planning.
Option 3 ~ (Director at John 3:16 idea) We could get married at the chapel at John 3:16. Again, small, simple, very casual with close friends and family. No one that has gotten married there has gotten a divorce. (just a side note - ha).
**Note: When I say close friends and family, both our families are big. A family gathering with my family alone is 45 people and his family is about the same...I don't want big...how to do you make cuts? There are so many people who have supported us and I wouldn't want them left out. This is when option 2 looks good to me! :-)
Now...let's hear it. You have to choose 1, 2, or 3 unless you have a really cool idea. Oh, if there are any negative nellies out there who don't think we should get married, well, your vote doesn't count! hee-hee
