I know i will include my two sisters and at least two of my cousins, because i know i will always have a relationship with them. We all agreed (my two sisters, two of my cousins, and I) that we would have each other in our weddings, if we get married. We've always been close. I am so looking forward to choosing bridesmaids when i am engaged!(if God allows me to be married)<br />Love these weddings posts, Chelsy, i absolutely adore weddings and can't wait to plan my own sometime!Madelinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-2338039700426663952018-06-09T15:28:54.745-04:002018-06-09T15:28:54.745-04:00Yes, he did!

He surprised me multiple times while we were dating (he is the KING of cool surprises!) but that time was probably the most memorable, because I genuinely did not recognize him at first and thought my dad was stopping to pick up a legit rough looking stranger. =) It's a great story and I will definitely tell the whole thing sometime!Chelsy Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904782642821446762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-4737691834702133872018-06-08T11:01:38.753-04:002018-06-08T11:01:38.753-04:00Awww...it sounds like your having a full first yea...Awww...it sounds like your having a full first year of married life! Just whenever...i check the blog sometimes and look forward to a new post! You'll have to fill us in about all your new endeavors. One question I have about during your courtship time: there was a pic posted one time of John in Alaska posing as a hitchhiker. Did he actually surprise you one time like this? If he did, so cool! I have been so curious about that. Can you tell us about it??? Thanks!

Bride Tribes are often less half that size in the UK, and mostly made up of single gals; there would usually be only one married/mother among them (if at all) who would be known as the Matron of Honour. I love to hear others' traditions and your ladies make a very beautiful crowd!<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more about your big day, and your honeymoon!Rose in the UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-63099257263209047902018-05-06T18:07:35.965-04:002018-05-06T18:07:35.965-04:00Yes me to!

Something I'd love for you to write on someday, is how sibling relationships change/stay the same after marriage. It's something I've thought of often. Is there a point where siblings of opposite gender back off as their spouse takes the number one place in their life? Or do sister/brother relationships stay the same + the added spouse? I'd love to hear your perspective on this! :) Briannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-77834419791516211712018-05-02T19:58:39.654-04:002018-05-02T19:58:39.654-04:00I knew right away I wanted all 5 sisters.. and whi...I knew right away I wanted all 5 sisters.. and while I have alot of friends I decided everyone would understand if I chose my sister in law who'd I'd been close friends with since I was 11.. :) ��Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-16237433350223330132018-04-30T08:07:05.033-04:002018-04-30T08:07:05.033-04:00good morning.

There are so many ways for us to go wrong but you are showing the Jesus us the ONLY way. I so wish I could go back in time and do things differently. So many decisions would have been different. I am now in my mid 50's and see just how wrong I was but I am now in a personal relationship with the Lord and hang on to the word that Jesus has forgiven me and my past and does not hold it against me. I wish I had friends like you when I was in my 20's. Young women who had a desire to be Godly women, Godly wives etc.............I hope the young women who read your blog are blessed by what they see here and read. God bless you and your husband and your families as ya'll live for the Lord and witness through ministries like this blog and music and such.<br /><br />Thank you again, Lee Ann Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146224020825165005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-37115590851913321192018-04-25T22:48:17.619-04:002018-04-25T22:48:17.619-04:00I loved reading about how you chose your bridesmai...I loved reading about how you chose your bridesmaids.

(this is from both the weddings I've been to, and weddings I've heard about/weddings in general)<br />I've also never heard of a wedding with 14 bridesmaids; that is a very unusual number. =)<br />And it also isn't super common to have mismatched numbers with bridesmaids + groomsmen. (although it is becoming more common)<br />So those are a few of the ways my group was different. I loved it! =)Chelsy Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904782642821446762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-23282096894692837102018-04-24T17:56:55.121-04:002018-04-24T17:56:55.121-04:00I LOVE how you did the same thing with choosing yo...I LOVE how you did the same thing with choosing your bridesmaids!
