One more thing... Well the day is upon us - or Jen and I rather and we're looking at about 8 hours until we are at least on our way to get married. As I start to reflect on what it's meant to go through this process of Jen and I becoming one, I am realizing two really key things for me.1. In reality - life is going to be really close to the same, at least in appearances... and what I mean by that is aside from rings and maybe a really stupid looking grin, nothing is physically going to change once we are married. What's changing is the really important stuff - the spiritual bond in a covenant before God. That is an incredible thing to even think about being a part of. I have no idea what marriage will be like, but Jen and I will still be two strong-willed people just acting in faith and knowledge of the level of commitment we have in each other before God.
2. The second part has been an ongoing lesson in my life. My family both the Hullingers/Daniels side of things and the Gruits/Hughes side I am marrying into are AMAZING. There are a lot of people who have rallied around the idea of Jen and getting married and they have put their time, talents, sweat and tears into making it an incredible day. NOT everyone has that going for them, but Jen and are blessed to have two wonderful sides to our family. And our friends, well, let's just say they are incredible as well, and picking a bridal party was a painful process. The cool thing is our family sees our amazing groups of friends, sees the commitment, sees the love in Christ they have for us, and they want that - so in a way Christ is already being furthered even before we are married.
I can't wait for 4:30PM today when Jen and I will be Mr. and Mrs... well you know where I'm going with this. It's going to be an incredible start...
