Preparing for marriage like we're preparing for christ to come again
Notes from 1/3/17 convo with parents:
- Taking a beautiful gift and using it as leverage (will say something if it continues to be an issue in the future.
- So we gave you the ring and you're just going to do what you want anyway
- Salary and benefits:
- bleh. Not theirs to worry about. I am doing fine on just my salary. God will provide. Not theirs to choose, it's Hunter's choice what he chooses as a career/vocation
- It's going to be hot and your make-up will run down your face
- Told them about possiblity of Indy
- You need to be in Ft. L for more than a week before the wedding (need to discuss)
- NOt good listener
- This isn't set in stone, I wanted to run the dates by you first... you already picked July?
- Are you looking for jobs in Indiana? Resumes?
Positives:
- I can understand where youre coming from... July does make more sense
- time off
- lease is up
- more people can come
- venue is available
- Dad can still pick details
- Can your pastor do it at the church? Meant alot that she asked and was cool with it
- I can also look for more churches (send em to me. Want to hear your input)
- Coral Gables is a beautiful area
- Will, Lord willing, be done with internship
- Start to set boundaries
At the end of the day:
- Reminder that I deserve worse
- Think I deserve to be treated better by them. Is it my pride though...
- It's not their wedding, it's not our wedding... It's God's
- We are still trying to honor and respect them, but need to be firm
- After the fact, things will simmer down. Just a short period of time that we need to get through
- Makes me appreciate Hunter's family... They aren't the norm and the way they respond isn't my standard for my parents... it's just another example of Grace
- Not willing to compromise on the ceremony. But do want to explain my reasoning why I'm doing certaint things/ the significance
- Reception is a celebration... more for the parents anyway
- Could be sweet for my relationship with Dad
- showing him my desire to be married... it's not just to leave and make him sad
- might make the transition easier
