He revealed later on that he was nervous. He had planned to get down on one knee but at the last minute couldn't do it. I want to say he pulled the ring box out of his gun bag. I could be wrong. But that would be so perfect. So my hubby!
It was beautiful ring. One that I never would have expected. Actually we talked about that just a little bit on Monday night (when we went for dinner to celebrate.) I really had no expectations of what I wanted. In a ring, in a wedding, in a dress. I was never one to fantasize over such things. I just knew I wanted to get married. And I knew I wanted to marry him. There was just something that let me know that everything would be great!
That was in November of 1996. We were married in April of 1997. We had been together for a long time and we were ready to live together as man and wife, so why wait. I have said it a million times and will tell anyone the story of my wedding day. The whole thing was so inexpensive. Especially by today's standards. But, it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. (Yes, I am prejudice.) But, it really was a fairy tale thanks to my mom and her wonderful friends!
The last 15 years have been full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations. There are many things I wish someone would have told me about love and marriage. But, God has been faithful to show me what I am to be as a wife, mother and follower of Christ. And everyday He gives me a brand new slate to show His love to my family through me.
For that I am so grateful and thankful. I don't know how a married couple can survive without God's redeeming love for all of us. His faith, His promises, His truth.
