Yesterday morning kicked off the wedding season activities for Curtis and I. I went to a very nice shower. The location, overall feel, and love for this bride is unreal. She has such an amazing support system between her friends and her fiance's friends as well as her family. I think this is just awesome that she is so happy. I knew her before when she wasn't with this guy and now since she's known him for a year she's is now overall a more.... relaxed person.
Shortly after I arrived (late) the matron of honor had everyone go around the room and tell the bride why they thought she would make a great wife. Everyone had really nice things to say to this girl. Most of it was about how she would be a very godly wife and such. I almost felt like I needed to drink the cool-aid, put on a track suit and wait for the space ship. Mind you this is a lingerie party, and for her to get bedroom things after they are married. Don't get me wrong, I do very much believe that there is a higher power, but I honestly feel like Christians are the worst - especially born again ones. And I'm also not overly opinionated with my beliefs but the whole relationship with Christ I was witnessing was pretty obsessive and unhealthy and to sum it all up, weird. And the thought of having Christ in the bedroom was beyond weird, lol what's he supposed to do? Give you a high five for giving your husband a top notch bj? But for the sake of the party I just swallowed uncomfort and had the best time that I could. Which it was fun! I was really impressed by what her Matron of honor said about her. She told the bride she would be a great wife because she is teachable. POWERFUL! Of all the things I completely disagreed with at this shower with all of these type A women. I completely agreed with that statement. And I didn't expect that statement to move me so much. But applying that to my own life, I want to become better for my husband. Marriage is so give and take, so much compromising. It does not work if neither party is wanting to be "teachable". So after I heard that I was refreshed. I was just overall happy with the experience no matter how bazaar I thought it was. I came across this pin on pinterest Inspire your husband, I want to always keep him surprised and never take him for granted. Curtis and I have been together for a little while, sometimes I want to strangle him, others I just want to let down my guard, release my fists, exhale all of my worries, frustrations away and fall into his arms. He is home for me. It just makes me think of this song Beyonce 1+1.
