I just celebrated my 25th birthday and must say it has to have been the best birthday ever. I got together with friends and partied the night away in a unique fashion, I spent quality time with family, and I re-connected with my husband -- it was wonderful. Everyone likes to receive gifts; some prefer the material, others like when their gifts have meaning- I am the later and I was given the most beautiful gift!
Recently I shared a portion of my testimony at my church (Catalyst Christian Church) discussing how my wedding didn't go according to plan because my family is "alternative" and how I had to let go of the hurt that left on my heart. Well, I must tell you, I go to an AMAZING church, with AMAZING people, with an AMAZING spirit, that serve an AMAZING God! One of the members there approached my minister and requested that we have a "re-wedding" where the things that didn't go the right way DO go the right way! Some how these people and my family have managed to sit on this for close to 2 months, planning and processing and scheming. Naturally I cried.
I am so blessed. I am so honored. I am so amazed. I am so grateful. I am so hopeful. I am so shocked....
THANK YOU! Thank you! Thank You!
You will never understand what this truly means to me and to my family! THANK YOU!

I don't know exactly what happened to make your wedding less then perfect but it is ashame that you and your family couldn't come together for that one special day to make your day special. I'm glad you have people backing you to re-do your big day if that is meaningful to you.
I personally think weddings are over rated. I was married by the justice of the peace right in his office and my husband and I have been happily married for just over 11 years. The ceremony itself is not important. What is significatnt is the committment and the love that brought you there in the first place. Good luck to you.
I just stumbled across your blog and I really enjoy it! I'm coming up to my 25th birthday - it's a time of reflection and it seems like you've learned a lot! Kudos!
Happy birthday! I am so thrilled that you and your husband are able to have the day you originally planned. It's wonderful that you are surrounded by people who care about you and your feelings. I hope your re-wedding is as special as you imagine it to be and that you have lots of luck and love in your marriage. x
