In ten days Anthony and I will be husband and wife, we ask that you pray with us during the next ten days. We are overjoyed that we have such a beautiful family to love and support us, and we can’t wait to see you (some of u) all at the wedding…

 

 

 

Day 1 Love is the Key

 

1 Corinthians 13:13 “Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

 

Pray for Love to remain the fundamental key to success in our marriage. Pray for a marriage built on honesty, respect, commitment, forgiveness and endurance. May love inspire all these things to grow in our marriage.

 

Day 2 Love is Fertile Soil

 

Ephesians 3:17 “that you being rooted and grounded in love.”

 

Pray that we will provide safe, loving soil for each other to grow so we may flourish with confidence, knowing we are valued. May our needs be met, dreams encouraged, opinions heard and successes praised so we may learn to express ourselves honestly without fear of judgment.

 

Day 3 Love is best when God is first

 

Matthew 22:37 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart.”

 

Pray for us to keep God the first and primary object of our affection. If love is the greatest thing you can do, then loving God with all you are is the greatest expression you could ever make. Pray that we keep God #1 in our marriage.

 

Day 4 Love brings Completeness

 

Genesis 2:24 “A man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.”

 

Pray that as we join together we would experience the mystery of matrimony where two come together and become one. Though distinct in personality and ability, may we see that we are designed to experience oneness in our diversity. May we become so intimately combined that together we live as one complete person with bonded hearts in marriage.

 

Day 5 Love is Fun

 

Ecclesiastes 9:9 “Enjoy life with the wife you love all the days of your fleeting life.”

 

Marriage was designed to bring delight. The Bible says a man should rejoice in his wife and be “exhilarated always with her love”. It says he should seek “how he may please his wife,” and she should seek “how she may please her husband”. Pray that we find ways to enjoy one another’s lives together where a smile on one’s face will bring a smile to the others.

 

Day 6 Love causes Growth

 

Ephesians 5: 25-26 “Husbands, love your wives, just as also Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, to make her holy.”

 

Pray that we will have a marriage where we will refine and strengthen each other. When one or the other reveals a flaw or weakness in character, pray that their first reaction will be to listen and learn helping each other to be more complete and Christ like.

 

Day 7 Love is Patient

 

Ephesians 4:2 “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”

 

Pray that we will develop patience in our marriage that brings an internal calm during an external storm. Pray that we control our emotions “bearing with one another in love.”

 

Day 8 Love Listens

 

James 1:19 “Understand this; everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.”

 

Pray that we will communicate with each other in a way that reflects our heart. May we listen patiently and let love lead.

 

Day 9 Love believes the Best

 

1 Corinthians 13:7 “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

 

Pray that we will be positive and encouraging to one another showing appreciation for one another.

 

Day 10 Love thinks Positively

 

Philippians 4:8 “If there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

 

Pray that we will let love lead our thoughts, to focus on the things we love most about each other, “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, pray that we focus on those attributes of each other.

 

Thank you for lifting us up in prayer, we look so forward to seeing everyone at the wedding.

They say you REALLY feel like a bride when you put your veil on...well...I will confirm this to be true. I can’t wait to walk down the aisle in my wedding dress. I will give you all a sneak peak of my birdcage veil. I really love it, it’s so me...I wasn’t sure if I wanted a veil at all. The birdcage look is perfect for me and my dress. Can’t wait to see you all in Mexico.

Hi everyone, I just want to touch basis with you all. We are only five months away from the big day! We are so excited that you all are sharing this moment with us. As we are preparing this wonderful event, we have you all in mind. We want this to be a magical trip for everyone. If you have not booked your trip yet, I wanted to let you know that airfare seems to be staying consistent at $532.00. This fare is being offered through united airlines leaving San Fransisco International Airport. We have a block of rooms available for our guest starting at $362.00 per night, which is a discounted rate ($55.00 off per night) Please make your reservation by 4/18/2014. After this time period the resort will start selling the rooms off to other guest. Children 12 and under are FREE. I want to remind everyone that this is an all inclusive five star resort. There are four restaurants on site that offer the best of the best. ANYTHING you want can also be ordered and delivered via room service. All your drinks are included (alcoholic, and non alcoholic). A fully stocked tequila bar is also available in each room. Each guest will also receive a resort credit up to $1500.00 (depending on your length of stay). This credit can be used towards excursions, golfing, spa services, water craft rentals, jeep rentals, and much more. You would be responsible to pay an 11% tax on services when the credit is used. The resort has a lot to offer, so  Keep that in mind when considering cost.

The hotel Flamingo (http://www.hotelflamingo.com/) offers rates as low as $66.00 per nite, with a complimentary breakfast each morning. The thing to keep in mind if you decide to stay outside of the resort is that there is a $90.00 per day resort fee to visit the resort (wedding day). We hope everyone is as excited as we are, see ya soon!
