15 days and counting....

Wow Beetle! I know your nerves are running crazy. I got chills just reading your post. I can't wait until I'm that close. As of today, I still have 527 days to go. lmao I know it's going to come faster than I think. As for those family members, I know what you mean. I don't want people at my wedding if they're only there to eat and be nosey. Stick to your guns and let them know that you can't have any more guests than you already have.

Honey everything you are feeling is quit normal...do not worry about them family members...they will get over it....relax and let it flow...enjoy the last couple of days because when you think about it, you would have been married for 10 years and wondering how time went by so fast. Congratulations and all the best.

Hang in there VWallace, the mixed emotions are fairly typical this close to the wedding, take pride in the fact that you've handled your business thus far and things are falling into place. Relax, relate, release!!

The 3 R's are very important! I only wish I could be in your shoes right now with only 15 days left! It's normal to feel the way that you do. You are about to begin a new life and a new chapter in your life. Embrace it! Many blessings to you and everything will work out the way you've always dreamt it would!

You are right on target Vw! You think you crazy now??? wait until 2 days before the wedding. [lol]

Rosey you are so right...she will be B.R.I.D.E.Z.I.L.L.A

Just keep in mind the wedding is only one day. Really.... a few hours but your marriage is forever. Even with the monor disagreements you and your FH have had you saw something in him that let you know you could spend the rest of your life with him. Make that your focal point. All those other people and THEIR issues let it be like wall paper to you. You see wall paper , you know it's there but it's just not that important.

Well I

Hey there V, just know that what you are feeling is normal. I am grateful for this site, because one of our sisters IslandBride was nervous too. I too, will only be inviting close family and friends that care about FH and I. You will be ok gurl.

Hey Buggy (your vibride nickname) Congradulations on getting this close and still wanting to go forward. I know it has to be hard but think about all the work and planning you put into it, it will all be worth it. Its better to be nervous now so on the BIG DAY, April 22 I believe it is you can just chill and enjoy yourself. It will all be worth it in the end.You will be happily married to the man of your dreams!Let us know how it goes,we will be waiting.

Vdub you ramble and let off all the steam you want. That's right sweetie WOOOOSAAAA. The "family" will be okay or they won't, not your concern. You don't need any EXTRA this close to the big day. I'm not here too often so just in case I miss it, Congratulations and I wish you and your FH all the best and all the love your hearts can stand.

V congrats! and you'll be fine, that's what I keep telling myself anyway :)It's positve stress.

A good quick tension release is a good scream. And it doesn't make your eyes puffy or give you the sniffles ;)

VWallace, what a blessing? Everything is in place. Everyone gave great advice. I'm learning from what I read so when I'm near that time and feel a certain way I'll know it's a natural thing. Shake that devil off and don't let satan get the best of you. Congrats!

Point of clarification...Bettle has already been given a nickname.....

[quote="VWallace"]You girls are the best. It just seems like everything is falling apart though. We were supposed to close on the house this coming Wednesday, but they don't want to approve the loan because FH is trying to find a job right now. They approved him on the job he had here before he moved back home....It's causing tension between us. So close to the wedding, is not so good. I'm just feeling so much. I know it's Satan, but he's about to get the best of me. I think I just need a good cry...

Girl if you need to cry, you go right ahead! Crying is just a form of release. But remember you have the victory! Nothing is too hard for God. I know what he did for me, when I thought we weren't going to get the apartment we have, the owner of the house called us back and said it's yours. Sometimes things happen for us to trust and rely on the Almighty! Hang in there gurl and be encouraged. I'm looking forward to a happy ending for you guys. The Vibride sista hood has your back!

Tell me I just did not read that...tell me you just did not say that Bettle...especially during this Easter season...the most important time of the year...the time that God sacrificed His only son for me and you...the time when he bore all of our problems on that cross....

Listen here girl...My God, Your God, Our God will never ever put more on you than you can handle,...everything happens for a reason...even though you may not see it now, but these same trials you are going thru right now, will help you become stronger to deal with whatever comes your way in your new life, embrace it and say Thank you God.

Do you remember how many times satan try to get the better part of Jesus during the 40 days in the wilderness...think about it and say the devil is a liar and say it with conviction and authority...the same authority that God has given us over this earth...never let the enemy hear you say something like that again...go and pray and let God fight those battles...those same battles that have already been won..

Charly, those were wonderful words that you said to Bettle. I'm quite sure Bettle is not the only one that needed to hear that. Preach on!!!

Good morning Ladies!
That was right on time Charly. How is everyone?

Sorry Charley,I knew it had something to do with the car name....My bad I know you the one who gives the names...I just wasnt sure what it was.

Amen! I am doing fine Copper! Good Morning to you too!

[quote="VWallace"]Need I say...Amen! I needed to hear that. I'm always the one telling my friends that. It's so funny how we can't take our own words when we feel so down. Thank you for that. Thank all of you ladies for all of your words of encouragement. I'm on my way to Houston Wednesday to get ready for the big day. My MOH are throwing a shower! FH has an interview today and tomorrow which will determine the house situation. It's in HIS hands....Love you gurls!
[/quote]

The sistahood has your back gurl! We wish FH much success on his interviews, touching and agreeing that the job(s) is already his. Be encouraged!

All of us go thru a lot of testing...let's face it that's the enemies job...but every now and then we just need a little nudge as reminder that God is still on the throne and everything is gonna be alright.

AllieS it's not just me that come up with the nicknames.

Amen Charly! The sistahood is awesome, and I truly thank God for each of you. You guys know how to keep us on our toes!

We keep each other on our toes.

So true Charly!
