The Big W

Families and friends have kept on asking Hunny and me as to when are we going to tie the knot. It was not an easy question and is not to be taken lightly. We have reached this age and have enjoyed each others' company. There had also been a time in my life when I was too eager to jump into marriage.

But God is good. Through those times He taught me on how to be patient and learn to move according to His plan. He worked inside me that I began to realize that it is not just the wedding, it is the marriage.

Hunny and I talked about bits and pieces of what we wanted. If given the choice, I wanted it just to be a civil wedding and just splurge on the reception. But I also, like every girl, dreams to walk down the aisle towards the man I will spend the rest of my life with.

2011 is a year of saving. For our future. I guess we both came to the point of deciding that we needed to be on the next stage. I don't wanna pressure him. I wanted him to enjoy being single so that when that time comes, he would not have any regrets. I have seen a lot of broken marriages because of infidelity and that "trapped" feeling. I never wanted either of us to feel that way. Nor with that thought just crossing our minds.

I have learned to just let things be until it is really time to settle down. True, there are still things I fear. But I shake them off because they wouldn't do me any good. Instead, I try to look forward to the future -- to what God has in store for me and Donn Rhett.

I love him. With all of my heart and my whole being. Through time, he has been a friend, a confidante and a lover. Though he is meek and often keeps his innermost feelings to himself, there were ways that he has really made me feel special. Spoiled and pampered - I am his princess. And he is my prince. And God will always be our King.
