His and hers
As time kept passing, I was getting more and more antsy. And, probably to the point I was getting depressed and sad... even with the possibility of having a "giving up" spirit in me. During this whole time, Mr. K was patient with me and kept encouraging me that God will provide, and that we will find something at the end of February. Yes, I believed him and more importantly, I believed that God will provide. But I kept doubting in the back of my mind, that yes, for sure God will provide, but I will have to compromise big time on the quality of the venue. That's the part that was bothering me. I want a budget friendly wedding, at the same time, I wanted a nice venue. Well, realistically that is impossible, right?
We visited out our "last" venue this morning. Well, I call it last because, I was so hopeless and I didn't want to check out any other venues after this point. If it didn't work out today, I was just gonna suggest a Korean restaurant or whatever. Yes, whatever. I hate that word and I especially hate it when my fiancé uses it and now I'm using it. That just shows how done I was with this venue thing.
As we were driving to the venue, and as we were waiting to meet with the coordinator on site, Mr. K kept ensuring me how beautiful that venue will be in the summer. The venue that we checked out today is a golf course, so it was very bare and miserable during winter, especially on a rainy day like today. I tried to envision that and yeah, I can definitely imagine it being full of colours and beautiful in August. But I wasn't buying it yet, just because I had looked up this golf course online and the hall wasn't... well, my style. Therefore, I had no expectation. I went regardless with the thought to just take this venue (or the Korean restaurant), just to get this whole thing over with. But when the coordinator took us to the room, from just the look through the doors from outside, I loved it. I just loved the airiness of the space because of all the large windows! There was so much light coming in, and I could just imagine the green field beyond those glass panes. Ahh! finally! On top of that, there was upstairs! Well, the upstairs didn't have that "wow" effect as the ground floor, but I thought I could work with it.
I was so thankful and relieved to finally have a venue, and not just any venue but somewhere that I see myself and Mr. K celebrate our wedding day. It was another reminder of God's goodness and provision for both of us! Oh, and we knew that this had to be it because this was the only Saturday available for the month of August! Isn't that so crazy how it all worked out? Like Mr. K was saying, I'm sure that it was all God who provided this awesome place for us. A admit that I was overly anxious and worried about this for so long. Apparently I was being a Debbie downer for some time now... but really, I wasn't that bad, was I?
Anyways, thank you Lord for providing this great place for us! We continue to pray that God will walk with us as we plan our wedding day, and most importantly, our marriage together as a husband and a wife!
