Ben and I are closing in on three months of marriage! It is hard to believe that I get to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams...literally.
Remember that part in The Princess Bride, where the priest with the speech impediment says, "Mawwage...Mawwage (Marriage) is what brings us together today."
Several years ago I had a dream about the man I would marry - okay maybe it was when I was still in high school, so that would be ten, eleven...okay well too many years ago. First in my dream, I saw this board with a list of all of the things that had to be accomplished before I would be married...unfortunately for me, all of these things were blurred, so I couldn't actually read them (thanks for the sense of humor there God). After straining to try to read these things to see if I was ANYWHERE even close to getting married, the dream moved to a second part. I remember sitting in a car, with a man in the back seat (who, for some reason, I knew was the man I would marry). All I remember about him was that he had black hair (for some reason this stuck out to me...maybe at the time I thought it was strange) and a face I could not recall no matter how I tried, and that he had travelled to many places. I also remember very clearly the car having tan interior. I was in the driver's seat, he was in the back of the car. We were sitting next to a park with green grass forever, just talking.
Real life: The car is my 2003 Subaru Forester with tan interior that I currently own. The man...my husband. Yes, black, curly hair. Yes, has travelled on many a cruise over the years.
I remember the first time, after Ben and I were dating, that I recalled the dream and everything fit. I just stopped and kind of went "whoah trippy".
Its a good thing God has it all planned out. And its also a good thing He doesn't always let us in on the plan. It didn't matter all of the wrong choices or turns I made. God still allowed everything to come together as only He can.
Maybe the priest in The Princess Bride should have said, "God, God is what brings us together today".
