Because I promise you, my groom and I will be cutting up
on our wedding day. I might trip
awkwardly down the aisle, laugh as we say our vows, smash cake in his face,
breakdance on the dance floor, and laugh hysterically through it all.
That’s one of the many things I’m searching for as I grow
up. Just someone I can laugh with. After the romance dies down, I want to know I’m
marrying my best friend. The person who
doesn’t take life so seriously. The
person who can laugh at himself.
I know we’ll be different in so many ways, but I ask
that God makes us compatible in two:
1.
Let our senses of humor feed off one another.
2.
Let him be the type of person who has “never met
a stranger.”
I see so many good things for my life. I see myself serving and helping and meeting
so many new people, and I want him to be right there with me.
Right now I’m watching Friends with Benefits. Now, I’m not pro-friends-with-benefits, nor
have I ever been—but to watch the friendship/relationship that develops between
Jamie and Dylan really just reminds me that I want that.
That laughter.
That baring your soul. That
freedom to joke. The fun. It’s fun to watch them. And I pray for that.
I’ve heard from a lot of people that the closer you get
to thirty, the more you know yourself.
The more secure you are in you.
And that has definitely been true for me. I know more about myself now than I ever
have. I’m more confident. More secure.
I know what I want and what I won’t settle for anymore.
And that reminds me that being single will always be
better than settling. And I’ll keep my
heart open for that guy who comes along who can be my best friend, my lover,
and my husband.
Though this is Memphis, where barbecue abounds, I know I’m somebody’s rib...and eventually he'll find me :)
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD (Proverbs 18:22).
