100 Wedding Blessings

I have reached a benchmark in my blog and that is reaching my 100th post! I am so excited because it has been a journey that I have loved and have been blessed by. I never knew I could take on something that is a lot of work and love it! I have so many things I want to do with this blog and be able to keep God ever present. To celebrate, I am going to give a weekly list of The 100 Blessings of Wedding Planning.

Planning your wedding is supposed to be fun, but often times, it can be frustrating, emotional, and tiresome. Believe me, even I considered eloping! lol. However, as in all things in life, God gives us blessings big and small, subtle and obvious. We just have to find them and recognize them! So here it is, the first 25 blessings of planning a wedding.

1. Cake tastings
2. Getting to slip on many beautiful gowns (a girl's dream shopping experience)
3. New Shoes!
4. Connecting with friends you may not get to see much
5. Knowing that the man you love, loves you back for sure
6. The Ring (Not just because it is pretty ;) but because it tells everyone that you have found your life companion)
7. Parties!
8. God answered your prayers for true love
9. Writing vows (My husband is not ooshy gooshy but this one day, I got to hear mushy words from him)
10. Tears of happiness
11. Hugs
12. Getting to buy those wedding magazines you've been ogling since you were 5.
13. Feeling like a princess
14. Seeing that dress on for the first time after it has been perfectly altered
15. Seeing your loved ones faces when they see you in your dress
16. Toasts
17. Dancing
18. Getting lost in each others eyes and nobody saying "Get a room!"
19. The honeymoon
20. Getting told how beautiful you are a million times (We love that, don't we!)
21. Slipping that ring on his finger
22. Photo shoots (you are a model!)
23. Getting the RSVPs back in the mail (Always such fun so see who is coming)
24. The wonderful feeling you get when you have dropped the invites at the post office and they're off!
25. Writing thank-you notes to your closest friends and family sharing how much you appreciate them. It will make their day :)

Stay tuned for 25 more next week! Do you have any to share to add to the rest of the list? What blessings do you appreciate from your wedding planning experiences? I would love to add yours to the list!
