Lux Thinking Aloud I Have Found The One Whom My Soul Loves - My Wedding Day 4:38 AM I have found the one whom my soul loves. - Song of Solomon 3:4 It seems only yesterday when I was writing about why I was single.People I know and even I myself was a little surprised as to how fate made an unexpected turn.Today, I'm sharing the day God fulfilled His promise to me...The day I have found the one whom my soul loves...my wedding day!I Have Found the One Whom My Soul Loves The WaitingEven when I had unsuccessful past relationships, my faith in love was never tarnished. I knew it was going to be a long journey so I decided to enjoy it. I kept working on myself and I waited---sometimes in faith, sometimes in fear. There were days when I was blissfully reveling in my unattached and uncomplicated single life...And there were nights when my heart would long for a partner. I already had plans of living alone yet I felt a prodding in a different direction. Prayers and Discernment Interestingly, I met my husband when I was resolved that the single life was for me. It was when I fully embraced the thought of staying single forever when God was like, "Wait! I've got a better plan." Every night I would ask God if this man I met is the one because otherwise, I don't want to waste my time. It's funny that I used to ask for specific things I want for my future spouse, and when I met someone who checked all the boxes, I was in doubt. There are a lot of prayers from me and my friends involved.It's going to be a major life change so I need all the spiritual guidance I could get.My husband on the other hand had been praying for years for God to finally give him his wife before he turns a certain age.Single friends, remember these two important things while you wait:Write down your non-negotiables for a partner. Be as specific as you can be. Pray. A lot. Our Wedding Day It may seem rushed, but there were a lot of things involved from that fateful day we met to the day we exchanged I do's. It wasn't a perfect wedding, but it was beautiful. The planning and preparations brought me to a whole new level of stress---which unfortunately showed on my skin even on our wedding day. My husband's first words to me when we met at the altar were "You look beautiful, honey." 😊 So I guess it didn't matter how my complexion was. Not all things would go according to your plans. But I've realized that at the end of the day, it's not about that perfect Instagrammable wedding picture. It's not about how much the flowers cost or how gorgeous your wedding dress is (I'm blessed that mine was 😝 and it's unplanned how I found it). Your wedding is a celebration of your union with the person God gave you as a partner. It's about you starting your life with your best friend. It's the day you share your promise to the world. And that's all that really matters. Everything else is supplemental. Here's our wedding video: Dear readers, thank you for journeying with me from when I was single until now. I will still be blogging about being single because I love that stage of my life and I learned a lot from it. My hope is to continue to encourage everyone regardless of their relationship status. And my prayer is that if you haven't yet, may you also find the one whom your soul would love.
Listicle How to Choose Your Perfect Wedding Venue 5:38 PM What do you picture when you think about your wedding day? There are so many options and varieties available that it can be difficult to know which one to choose! It could be a quiet stretch of beach, a quaint village church, your favorite restaurant, or an elegant ballroom. Ultimately, it’s not a decision you can leave in the lap of the gods because so many other factors of your day depend on the right venue. It’s very easy to become excited about a venue without checking specific details first. To ensure you don’t have to miss out on your dream location, here are some tips to help you narrow down the search. How to Choose Your Perfect Wedding Venue Is it Big Enough? The answer to this particular question depends on the type of wedding you’re organizing. Choosing whether you’re going to be having an intimate ceremony or a large capacity celebration will determine the kind of venue you want. Have you already got a guest list? Are there any guests who’ll be bringing children? Knowing who you’re going to be inviting is going to be a big help and will prevent you from choosing a venue that can’t cater to the needs of all your guests. If you can, take the opportunity to visit the location and see what’s available. View it when there’s a wedding taking place because it allows you to see how it looks when filled with tables. If you can’t visit at such a time, ask to look at some photos. Is it the Right Location for all Your Guests? Where are your guests coming from? Are they all local or are there some guests arriving from overseas? What about the age of your guests? Elderly and young relations might require additional facilities. If you decide you want to look at wedding locations in Jamaica, are your guests going to be able to get there easily? Do You Have a Theme? Are you hoping for a glamorous feel for your wedding? Would you prefer something more modern? If you and your other half are lovers of the great outdoors, you might want to consider having the wedding ceremony in a garden. Ensuring the venue fits in with your wedding style is going to be important. Questions to Ask When you start making plans, there are several questions you need to ask about the venue. How many guests can they cater for? How will the day proceed? Is there a master of ceremonies who can ensure the day runs according to plan? Is there any advice with regards timing? Where will you be able to take photographs? Are there any restrictions? Are children welcome? Is there an outdoor space where guests can stretch their legs? Finding the right venue for your wedding is a significant milestone you’ll want to check off as soon as possible. A number of other wedding decisions are going to be influenced by your choice. The tips mentioned above are going to help you stay focused and find the perfect place for you to say, “I do.” Once you’ve decided on a venue, make sure you get in touch with them well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Reviews Choosing My Online Wedding Invitation: Paperless Post Review 7:04 AM In case you missed it, I'm getting married soon! It seemed only yesterday when I was enjoying the ups and downs of the single life, wondering if I would ever find the one. It was a long journey, but God has plans far better than I imagined. Fast forward to today, I am stressed out and excited at the same time, planning a small and simple wedding, meeting suppliers, finalizing details, and choosing my online wedding invitation because it's more practical and better for the environment. Why I chose to go digital? Paper wedding invitations are expensive. All suppliers I've contacted both locally and abroad require a minimum of 50 copies. But, again, this is a small wedding. We don't need 50. People will either throw it away or keep it and forget about it afterward. It will only collect dust or add to people's clutter. We want to help the environment and save a tree. Paperless Post Review It was another part of God's beautiful plan that the wonderful people I've worked with before from Anagram Interactive introduced me to this excellent website creating online invitations. What are the chances?! Why I like it Paperless Post is easy to navigate, have expressive and various designs and layouts and even has designer collections (Kate Spade, anyone?). They have invitations for any holiday or event. If you have a finished design, you can upload it, customize and send it to your guests using the platform. You can import Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL mail contacts, create recipient lists, and invite guests. It's fun that I did not only see wedding invitations and RSVPs. They also have thank you cards, a Bridal shower, bachelorette party, and engagement party invitations. With RSVP, you can track who's opened your invitation, who's RSVP'd, and who needs a nudge. So they really have all the cards you need in an online version. Oh, just check their website and see for yourself. They also have friendly customer service so it will be easy for you. Here's the result of me playing around with their Our Big Day design by Crate & Barrel. You can customize the background. For example, I chose these pretty blossoms.Choosing My Online Wedding Invitation I changed the envelope color from yellow to rose gold and the stamp to a gray heart. The lining can also be customized, so I used one that's colorful and dainty. Enter your recipient's name: I enjoyed trying different styles and layouts; I have a few saved on my draft. Note: These are only samples for your reference. The holiday is fast approaching. I'm sure you'll find a card to send your loved ones this season and show your thoughtfulness and creativity even when you're far away---in an efficient and environment-friendly way. How about you? Which do you prefer? Online or paper invitation? Why? Note: I have received compensation for this review, but all opinions are my own. Listicle Here Is What Should Be A Part Of Your Wedding Favors Set 6:13 AM A wedding is all about details. One of such details is planning for the wedding favors set. From selecting a theme to deciding things that should be going in a set, there are chances that you will go crazy attempting to come up with a unique and useful favor for your guests. It isn't difficult to put together a creative wedding favors set – trust us when we say that you won't need a fairy godmother to compile one! Guests who became a part of your wedding from far and close can be thanked by being gifted a wedding favor. Back in the day, it used to be a small treat; today it is a chance for couples to add a touch of their personality. From customized dishes to boxes for savory foods, every item will bring a smile on their face and leave a lasting memory. Once you’ve settled on the idea, you can choose from the following list that will make sure to impress your guests. What Should Be a Part of Your Wedding Favors Set First things first; a canvas tote bag: If you don’t want the guests to toss out your favors on their way back; then here is a great idea: give them canvas bags tied up with small cards to say thanks. A canvas bag will not come in handy just at the time of your wedding but can be reused at the times of grocery shopping and picnics. A canvas tote not just conveys your swag, but it is pretty great on its own as well. Who wouldn’t want more bags to stuff their cupboard with? You can either personalize them according to your event’s theme or choose fun patterns online or at any retail store. Customized canvas totes are currently one of the hottest trends for wedding favors. A canvas bag is an ideal gift for the wedding party or as a welcome bundle for out-of-town visitors. The solid material of canvas tote bags enables them to carry a bottle of wine, snacks, tissues, custom can coolers, emollient and other essentials. While you might be busy on your wedding day to meet everyone, make sure a canvas tote bag is there to greet them as a thanking gesture to share your special day. Flip Flops Flip flops will bring comfort to your guests at the time when ladies are tired of wearing painful heels and men want to kick off their tight shoes. Your guests will joyfully dance the whole night away. One thing you must consider is that the sizing might be an issue, and you additionally need to ensure that the space is sufficiently warm for people to remove their footwear. Lotto Tickets A lottery ticket is enough to thrill your guests for the rest of the wedding period. Wrap up the lottery tickets in a nice way, maybe in a pretty envelope or pair it with a small packet of snack. Giving them all alone may fall of crude as the tickets do not seemingly appear very appealing. Souvenirs Territorial souvenirs are awesome when guests are traveling far for a destination wedding. They will get to spare their cash of buying a keepsake on their own, and they will have the capacity to relish the recollection of your wedding and the destination with the trinket. Vintage Postcards Postcards also make for a great wedding favor especially if you are doing a destination wedding. Attendants can send them off back home to their loved ones. Even if your wedding isn’t a destination wedding; you can still design or buy postcards of landscapes or objects that hold a special value in your relationship with your significant other. Vases Are you in search of a snappy approach that will bring purpose to your wedding flowers? By the end of the evening, an assigned individual can be asked to break down centerpieces and bunches to put them into glass bottles. It is an incredible idea to make sure that attendees take home an actual piece of that day – your big day – and ensures that those expensive blossoms won’t go to squander. Seeds Seed bags are usually perceived as a figure of nurture and concordance, which makes them a valuable wedding favor. You can put in any flowers you like; however, it will be particularly affecting to place a type of bloom that was used throughout your big day. Hankies Foreseeing a couple of happy tears amid your function? Vintage handkerchiefs are a touching and wistful remembrance that your visitors will acknowledge as you're rendering your handwritten promises. Chocolate Bars People with a sweet tooth will be delighted to see a chocolate bar with an illustrated label making it more sophisticated. Milk or dark is as per your choice, but this is going to be a certain hit for your guests. All you need to keep in mind is your wedding happens only once. But this should not mean that your guests and you have to forget about it once it happens. This is where a wedding favor set will play the role of a souvenir.
