Wedding Planning: Only For The Engaged?

Wedding planning shouldn't only be for the girls that are engaged to be married.

Wedding Planning: Only For The Engaged?
Kristin Bass

It's every girls dream to have the perfect wedding with the perfect guy and live happily ever after, or at least as close to it as possible.

I am currently single, and have no intentions or interest in getting married in the near future. It's something that I feel that I am not ready for yet, as I'm still trying to grow to become the best me that I can possibly be. I want to be the best me that I can be before I think about getting married to somebody. I do believe that there is a possibility that a significant other may be able to help me grow some before getting married, but I believe a lot of the growing that I need to do needs to be personal.

Though I feel like I am not ready for marriage, I have thought so much about my wedding and about my future Husband. No, I don't know who my future husband is yet, but I still think about what kind of a wife I want to be for him. I think about what kind of a wife God wants me to be for my future husband. I think about how strong our relationship with each other will be and how strong our relationship with God will be, both as a combined relationship and individual relationships with God will be.

I pray every day for my future husband and for my future relationship. I pray that God is with my future husband and is helping him to become an amazing guy, is becoming the best that he can be, and that God is helping him to become husband material.

Along with thinking and praying about my future husband and about my marriage, I think about my dreams for the wedding itself. I know that I'm going to want to get my future husbands input on some of the details, but I love trying to come up with some of the details on how I went my wedding to turn out. I get excited all the time about my wedding.

I think it's good for a girl to think about her wedding at any age, even if she is still single or in a relationship that she doesn't think will last forever. It gives them a sense of hope of the future.

I also believe that even if a girl starts thinking about her wedding beforehand and starts getting a sense of hope for her wedding, I believe that the older a girl is before she starts seriously planning a wedding, the better the wedding will be, and the closer she will be with God. The older a girl is before she starts planning her wedding, the more realistic the wedding will turn out to be. The older a girl is before she starts planning wedding in a serious sense, it gives that girl a better sense of reality, a better sense of what a wedding should really be like.

When I was a little girl, I wanted a princess theme wedding based on all of the Disney Princesses. Now that I'm older, I want to feel like a princess at my wedding, but I don't necessarily want a Disney Princess wedding anymore. I started somewhere with my dream though, and I have evolved it the further I get in life and the more mature I am

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
