I had never dreamed
by As a child, I had never dreamed about my wedding day. I never fantasized about walking down the aisle in a beautiful gown marrying the man of my dreams. It just was not in my plans and I never really thought about it. But for the past two and a half years, this is all I have wanted.
We have been patiently waiting all this time and suffered through all the negative comments about being too young as well as other remarks that I will not get into. Now with a week and a half to go, it seems like a dream that this day will finally be here.
Am I nervous? Of course I am a little. It is a major change in my life. I am nervous about what it will be like to move out of my parents? house and what married life will bring. I cannot predict how I will handle being a wife and dealing with new responsibilities. I am not sure what to expect after the wedding day. Will our relationship change? What if we cannot adjust to spending time alone without twenty chaperones to hang out with and talk to? :)
So I will admit that I am a little nervous about the unknown but more than that I am extremely excited to get to know Mike better than ever. I cannot wait to spend every morning and night with him (instead of trying to call him every morning to make sure he has not overslept..I worry too much), driving to the meetings and out in service with him, the opportunity to have dinner and go to a movie unchaperoned (though I will still welcome company, too, guys). I know not everything in our lives is going to or has to change and I know he will always be my best friend. I am eager for our new life together. I love you Mike!

hahaha, you'll get used to no chaperones real quick. it's great :)
I'm sure. I can't wait till we're not taking 2 cars everywhere ;)
yeah that idea is meant as a protection for the both of you but some people get a bit to carried away about that when its not their business or their children.
I understand the reasoning and I don't mind that much but it's hard when other young ones think it's a dumb idea and dont want to cooperate or help out.
example: Im not gonna see mike tonight cause we couldnt find anyone to travel with us an hour away. he's going without me - lol
aww where were you supposed to go?
a party that mike never found :)
this is just a test.
Katie, in the short time that I've known you guys, I think you and Mike are such a great fit. Don't let the negativity of others bother you because you have plenty of friends here that will continue to show our support. Have a great wedding and honeymoon and enjoy each other's company for the rest of your lives! Love you guys!
How old are you? I was 19 when I got married, still am dispite the stupid things I've done that could have sabotaged my marraige. We just celebrated 27 yrs together. One thing I would do over is not have kids. Its too much heartbreak and pain. Satan is working SO hard on everyone to fall away, but I've seen so many young ones leave b/c they want to experience the world.
but congraduations on your wedding day!!!!
haha thank you! NO KIDS!
I want an army... of 2 being all they can be. haha imagine me with kiddos. they'd be so messed up . we'd go trick or treating in like april.. just going door to door asking for candy in the middle of spring.. it'd be fun. we wouldn't be celebrating any holiday. it's all good. who wants me to babysit their kids?
you could babysit my kids if you want thai
your kids would be my kids
exactly....you never watch them...i watch them, feed them, put them to sleep...c'mon...take some responsibility for them
umm.....u agree? thought I might get torched for what I said.
if anyone wants to see what its like to raise teen girls, they can borrow mine, option to keep.
Oh btw mango, ur my fav fruit and I love your websight URL!!!
HYSTERICAL!
you regret having kids? i would just say not to have them while you're younger and to wait.
i was 26 with the first and 31 with the 2nd....not so young at all.
oo. Don't let your kids read your post.
that's what i was thinking. i think i would cry for weeks and have much deep rooted emotional problems if i found out my parents wish they didn't have me.
for kicks--ask them to honestly answer these questions: "did you have me on purpose or was i an accident? was i planned or was i just a product of heated passion and contraceptive unpreparedness?" tell them they have to answer truthfully under God's blue sky. if my mom said she wished she never had me--"i'd say, sucks for you, but i'm here and i freaking rock! i define you! I'M THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO YOU!"
i keep asking my mom, "so really, where IS my older brother?" (hint: supposedly, i'm the oldest)
i was an *accident*, I don't care, i wish they'd have used birthcontol that night. try having a kid who was SO theocratic till she graduated H.S. then got into all sorts of trouble no matter how hard she was helped by the *powers that be* and then get d/fed and every other word out her mouth is f***.
Try raising another who is a *guy magnet*.
We did ALL WE COULD that the society recommends. Elders and pioneers got involved. Always had a family study.Never miss meetings or service. Parents quite iMperfect, admit it, but kept trying.
Heartache.
I didnt wish I had didn't have kids,i said i WOULDNT have em.
Anyway, I'm getting back all the *heck* I gave my parents. Which actually was way worse then even was what kid #1 is giving me. Cept I wasnt brought up a JW so it IS different.
OK NOW WAKE UP!
I wish you and mike the best not to suffer any hardship that arent normal in marred life but you are marrying mike so do expect something wild and crazy to happen atleast each year. You both are made for each other and the Public displays of each others effection (mmhmm I saw u) shows it. just make sure u put jehovah in your life and all things will be gravy... Congrats Have a great wedding day... and Take Lots of pictures cuz i wont be there :'-((
I think you wanna fight...
No fight
I said Congradulations what else do u want from meeeeee
a wedding gift
hahaha. i thought mike said that and i couldn't believe that. but no, it was adam.
Hey now im on a budget that means i have to buy the gift then ups it alllll the way there... hey bank of daddy doesnt cover all of that..
Katie, you and Mike ROCK!!!!!
