 In about exactly one and a half days' time, I will be married. People keep asking how I feel, whether I am excited or not. Frankly, not really. Mark and I have been tired and busy with so many things to wrap up, it seems. Right now I think my poor dear is still working out the logistics list at home, while I am preparing some of the things we need to bring.I am 10% excited, 10% happy, 50% tired, 10% nervous and 20% sad. About there. Sad because I will have to leave my family, but right now trying not to think about that. Besides, I think I have been crying enough the past few months and weeks over the issue that now I feel it is time to stop crying and be brave. The little girl in Yinny Finny (my family's nickname for me) has to grow up, as all girls do. Besides, as Feng says, I am hardly leaving them. After all, our new flat is only 10 minutes' drive away and a half hour walk down the canal. The happiness comes in short waves, especially having ALL my family members reunited here for the wedding. I feel much loved, especially since I have never been the one to demand to be in the limelight. It feels rather strange. I am 10% nervous about tripping and falling down the aisle in my 2 1/2 inch shoes and long, heavy train.Am I happy? It's really not so much about happiness, I feel. Yes, I think it is exciting, all this wedding flurry and I must admit I love the pretty dresses I will be wearing :). What I can say, though, is that I have been 100% peaceful and calm. It seems to be a quiet determination I have acquired, when I look across the room at Mark, that this is indeed the man I have found to spend a lifetime with and He is the very one God has intended for me. Of this we have been sure. And thus the peace that comes, through it all, the happy, sad, exciting, nervous, tired times. The blues, pinks, purples and maybe even greens.And so when I say the vows I have been memorising, and I hope I don't forget! I will say them with a quiet and joyful acceptance that this is the path I have chosen to take, it is a solemn and serious commitment to last us a lifetime, and it is God's will so that we will learn to love one another with a love that can only come from the true Lover of our souls, and that in doing so our lives will reflect His glory and the love He has for all. May our wedding truly testify of His love.
