Hey everyone!
My name is Annie Mae If in any way our story could encourage you or any friends/family going through similar situations that would be such a blessing.
I never was that girl to really dream growing up, It never crossed my mind what my future college, future husband, future home would look like. It wasn’t until our wedding was postponed on April 18th of this year that I realized for once I was actually dreaming. That excitement turned to defeat so quickly as I sat in my room crying... my fiancé walked in and my exact words were “this is why I don’t dream... it sets me up for sadness and failure.” I was broken for weeks and the constant change in the news was a tiny jab and reminder each time that my big day wasn’t any where in sight.
It was however... the most incredible day was gonna be different, simple, beautiful, unexpected, and in Gods right time. It was as if God was removing all of the extravagancy and expectations that go into planning a big wedding (a wedding of 300 people) and honed my sight back into looking into the eyes of my future husband.
And That’s the real covenant... the covenant between husband and wife. Not all the details, parties that go into the big day. If anything the Corona Virus has really opened my eyes to this. Although my wedding wasn’t what I expected, everything fell into place...
We got married a month earlier March 21st, 2020 and we will have a huge celebration when all of this clears over.
If right now you are stressed, doubting, In fear your feelings are validated. I was there a month ago, but now I’m sitting in my new home completely content.
It was a day I will never forget... here’s a link to our wedding video if this can give you any glimpse of hope! Hang in there!!
