Every girl, beginning at the age she could talk, has dreamt of the day she would enter holy matrimony. Though, more than the actual wedlock, the fantasies are dominated by the dress, ring, music, cake, colours, wedding party and once in a while, the groom (a.k.a. Prince Charming, or Night in shining Armour).
I am one of those girls.
I have begun a list of "Wedding Songs" (which is dominated mostly by country songs) and I heard a song the other day I wish to be played during the traditional father-daughter dance.
For a number of years now, during extra time, or when I just wish for something to aid in my procrastination, I google wedding dresses, hoping to find a style which corresponds with the vision in my mind.
Lately, a friend and I (she who is much further along in her quest than I) have a habit of trying on rings in stores (usually stores like Walmart, and sometimes, make the mistake of trying on the wrong size and then are forced to take drastic measures in order to remove it from our fingers) and discussing our 'perfect' engagement ring. Today, after a brief discussion with a friend about proposals, I found myself googling engagement rings!
But I wonder . . . why is it that girls are so eager to be placed in a position of complete dependence on a mans commitment, completely vulnerable to another human being!
~to be in the spotlight without the fear of being left at the alter or left years later- that's the real dream girls should have~

I think it's Knight. Although Night in Shining Armour has some cool visual imagery as well.
Yes but- guys don't dream about the whole marriage thing since they were young!
I know that both male and female put themselves in a vulnerable situation!
But why is it what all girls want and dream of . . . it confuses me (even though i'm one of those girls)!?
I too am like that. But man does it terrify me. Me and pastor Garry had a talk about it today actually. I am terrified to be married, to be that dependent on a person, to face major problems, face the possibility of divorce, etc. It all terrifies me.
And yet I want it sooo bad!
Me and PG decided I just need to loosen up a bit (ok quite a bit) and just have fun for the time being until I am ready (cuz everything up to that point is preparing me).
Now that will be a big step for me...loosening up that is!
Well the thing with love is, you give someone else the power to completely hurt you in a way that no one else can. YOu just hope and pray that the other person doesn't actually hurt you.
To truly love someone is to be willing to give them all of you...not just the part you want them to have but to give yourself to them completely...it's like dangling on a string ou gotta trust and hope that they won't let you fall...and if you can't do it...then you gotta ask do you really love them
girly love is an entertaining thing. when your young you dont understand the hurt. its just this magical thing that makes people happy and dopey! however as your grow older you cling to the fantasy and hope that you can have the one marriage that is all that. plus who doesnt want a big whooper of a dimond on their finger! lol. you know the one i want
Blondie: remember the days we would spend googling dresses together? So much fun. I found the perfect veil. What are they called...mantilla?
Check it out!!
I'm through the wedding phase now. I'm waiting for the rich doctor who I hardly ever see. Then we'll have 8 babies. Ha.
I can't believe how many comments there are on this one~~!!!!
The thing about love and being willing to give all of me to the other person is...I dont' know when I haven't been willing to do that.
But it also applies to the other person too - they need to be willing to give all of themselves up....that's the part that scares me (for many many reasons)
this one time i wondered what it was like to be married...thgen i remembered i was 20 and those years are far off.
who here thinks that if some random person asks you to marry them, that you would be flattered.
that sentence makes sense in my head....
anywho i would have to say no but i think i would be very much flattered i mean my face would even be red. but the would have to be serious. not those people that try to marry me because of my money.

-there are only 10 types of people in the words. those who understand binary and those that dont.
