From the Groom
Greetings Blog Readers!
I haven’t posted much here besides technical blog info. I am taking this opportunity to write a short note about how I’m feeling and what’s going on with me as the wedding approaches.
For the most part, I am ecstatic! I am so madly in love with Shanny and I can’t wait to start our life together as a family. To some degree, I already feel like our life together has started, but I know dating and being engaged is different from being husband and wife. I am so excited to be Shanny’s husband.
I am also feeling very overwhelmed. My life is stretched these days between wedding planning and work and school… I feel a little thin… and not in a good, more attractive, fit-better-in-my-clothes kind of way. However, I know that the Lord is Good and that He has this whole process in His plan. The conflict comes when my head knows but my emotions/heart forget.
So, pray for me… pray for us… as we walk this path together toward our wedding and our future life together. Pray for peace and for blessing and for stamina. But mostly, give thanks to the Lord our God for all the blessings we already have.
Grace and Peace,
Matty
Oh, if only being busy could stretch me a little thinner for that wedding attire. I want all of you reading to know how much your support and prayers have meant to me, just knowing you are all behind me.
Love,
Shanny
Hey Matty-
Great engagement pictures!!! I am sooo happy for you two. God Bless!
I really think one of the ultimate purposes of the wedding planning process is to force two people to do something really complicated that’s impossible to completely agree upon, throw in two sets of relatives that don’t really know each other, and shake vigorously. The great thing is what comes out the other end is that much better because of it!
