Wedding Gift
I have never been worried about this wedding with the exception for having a date. When you finally get a date for your wedding you feel a little relieved, at the same time wondering how you are going to pay for it. Just like my future wife, we decided to pray for guidance in this matter. The result as been awesome. I can fathom how God has responded to our prayer. God has been very generous with us. Here is all the blessing he has been giving us thus far:
1. Wedding was free and it is the one that she wants
2. The place of our wedding is only going to cost us $750 instead of $5,000
3. The person doing our photos is one of her family friends and is going to give us more for less of a price
4. My Cuz may do the DJ for a low price or nothing at all
5. My best men are going to rent their own tux
6. The Father of the bride is going to cook the food
7. Two people want to be the bartender
8. Flowers may be cheaper do to knowing the people who do them
9. The place my family is staying is only going to cost around $35 dollars a night
10. My little sister is going to do my invitation.
11. My Pastor doing the wedding (he is willing to come to Florida)
Most of this was possible because of her father. Her father knows a lot of people. Some people will say that he has a lot of connections and that is why your wedding is cheaper than most people. I see it as God’s preparation for our marriage. God put people in her father’s and mother’s life that goes beyond friendship. God has been planning this for our lives and it is starting to come together. All of this is coming from a man who did not like me at first. It goes to show how God can soften someone’s heart and open them up to bigger things in life. I want to thank everyone for putting all the effort to make our wedding come true. This is not bad for a couple with only one income. This goes to show that God can step in and make an impact in anyone lives if you let him. I believe that God will keep working in our lives on this matter and give us the wedding that He wants us to have.

Joe, that is SO TRUE! God has been working in our lives TREMENDOUSLY–on top of all those things, he even threw in a free wedding dress and the brides maid/maid of honor has even said that they would pay for their dresses. (: I love you and I can’t wait til June 17!
