You would be better off saving that $1500.00 and going to see the judge and wearing something comfortable. Weddings are like funerals. They are not for the ones participating they are for the loved ones.
there are a lot of people that are jaded about marriage. many people could tell you sad stories about the difficulties of a bad marriage. There is nothing better than a good marriage. and i can speak to this through experience. Having lived through a very bad marriage, and an amazing marriage. What i found was that the bad marriage included a lot of selfishness on both of our parts. where my current marriage includes 2 main things. 1) God is the center of our marriage and family. Many people believe in child centered parenting, i believe this destroys more marriages and families. as the needs of the kids get put above all else others get marginalized and the parents grow distant. what kids need to see is parents who love each other, not parents who no longer take time to show each other they care. the second is 2) serve the others needs. if you follow the bible, or even if you dont it teaches that we should not seek to satisfy our own needs, but that we should take care of the needs of our spouse. if both spouses are doing this, the husband taking care of the wifes needs, and the wife taking care of the husband. then we can not become selfish. my energy is taking care of her, and hers is taking care of me. there becomes a synergy that occurs that is pure beauty. and that is what marriage is about. if you read the bible read Ephesians Chapter 5, some great things to learn about marriage.
A bad marriage sucks, i will pray that you never find this in your life and in this marriage. the beauty of a good marriage is better than words will ever discribe. I have been married to my wife for years now, and dread the times we are appart and cant wait till we are together . I am writing this post at 5:30am, my wife is singing at church today. I got up at 4:45 with her so that i could make her coffee, and breakfast before she has to leave, i wanted to make sure her needs are taken care of, and that she will never doubt that she is loved.
