Everything's Different

Well everything is different--again. We are overjoyed to announce that through a work of the Lord, we are now going to be married on March 24th! So soon? I know, right! Plans began right at the end of February, and we've decided to have a small wedding (which is turning into a bigger and bigger wedding) and have it in Sarah's small church. We are so amazed that the Lord would work it out for us to be married so soon, but as the day comes closer and closer, we both see how we could have never waited all the way to December, and that our wedding will be at long last! We see how March 24th, even though we didn't know it was coming until we arranged it last month, is the perfect date from the Lord; it could have been no later, and no sooner.

Sarah and I are pretty busy now! She's getting her dress fitted, my parents bought me a black suit for my birthday, and we've been shopping for rings. It is so strange to be shopping for a ring for myself! As if I know what I want in a ring--something I have never worn before... All I want is something that says "I am a man and I am married" without making my hand look girly. For Sarah, we have the option of buying a nice, but very inexpensive plain wedding band that matches her engagement ring well, or get a band with 8 little princess-cut diamonds in a channel on the top that, together with her solitaire princess diamond, looks so pretty. The only problem is that the diamond band is 6 times more expensive, but I have a feeling it would be worth every penny... We'll see.

We are so excited, and expectant that the Lord will bless.
