Much ado about Weddings






So for some days now I have just had the opportunity or would I say happenstance to watch movies about Weddings,  the famous "The Father of the Bride" and another called " June in January " now both were completely different story lines but had the underlying fears about getting married.
In Father of the bride, the Father himself was the one skeptical about his 'little girl' getting married cause he thought she was still too young at age 24 and hey she just finished University. Well you can't blame him, after waiting for his daughter to graduate from school overseas only for her to spring a surprise of a marriage to someone she had just dated few months in school. 
Which brings me to the question... How long is suitable for you to date the one you intend to marry? A year, six months, two years?  How long to me doesn't matter,  what matters is you guys are right for each other,  those who have married have this knack for knowing the person once they meet...lol.  But now begs the question,  what happens to those who get divorced or separated after like a year or more of marriage?  Didn't they get that feeling?
Hmm, so now this is it, it's not so much of a feeling but a confirmation from God and your spirit man. Do you feel peace inside of you when you think of a future with the person?
So now we all hear that marriage is not a day's job, a Wedding is a day's job, cause after all its just a day's event, and after that marriage begins.
It's said that when you Marry you don't just marry the person 'Man' you marry his whole family,  because trust me no matter how much your husband is fond of you he still loves his family and belonged first to his family before he even met you.
Which brings me to the second movie        'June in January ' so this lady named June had met this lovely guy who was from a well to do home and just got a job in another state and he wanted to marry her and move out with her cause he could not bear living without her, facing a new city, new job all alone (yeah he was kind of selfish yeah...). Now the lady who was born in June, her parents got married in June, infact wanted a June wedding,  but no, her Fiance wanted it now (January)  cause he had to move with her, so she had to sacrifice that month aspect, also leave her nursing job and move with him...and guess what? The mother of the groom didn't like her a bit. So we all know how Men and their mothers can be, she tried all she could to sabotage the wedding,  even when it eventually pulled through in 3 weeks for some reason the Clergy to wed them was told the wedding had been cancelled..  In the end though they got wedded.
So bottom line, getting married entails much more than the wedding day, before you wed ensure you have looked into every detail, be friends with the family of the guy, even if it seems they do not like you, the fact their son loves you will definitely bring them around. (Hey same goes for the girls family cause some parents don't also like the Guy).
The final thing you should do is always ensure God is involved, he loves Marriage,  he instituted it so why shouldn't He?
