I usually try to stay pretty upbeat. I don't let a lot get to me. I am a VERY relaxed person. I am NOT a planner. I rarely get my hopes up about anything, but when I do I am crushed if that something doesn't work out. I haven't really been attached to anything to do with our wedding EXCEPT the: guy; venue; and pastor.
I knew I wanted to marry Ross after our first kiss. I knew I would never let him go. He is the man of my dreams.
We picked the venue within a week of getting married. It is wonderful. I just love Turtle River State Park. It feels natural to have our wedding there.
The pastor was actually one of the few things we also picked right away. I have been going to my current church for awhile now and just really feel connected to God through the Pastor. I actually got to know him when I was at my previous job where he was on the board of directors. So we asked him to officiate and he accepted! I was pumped!
Well that all came crashing down on me yesterday. He called to let us know that he had taken a call for another church, in Oregon. I was devastated. I wanted the sermon/ceremony to be meaningful and special for our wedding since that is the whole reason we are there/here. I KNEW that our Pastor would absolutely make that happen for us.
So after an afternoon/night of wallowing in true bridezilla form I am on the hunt for a new pastor/possibly a new church as well. I haven't decided about that yet. I like our current church. It is welcoming and wonderful, but I'm not sure how much of that is just Pastor and how much is the church itself.I am also seriously considering a judge or magistrate to perform the ceremony. In my previously life as an attorney I have gotten to know quite a few of our judges and would rather have a judge perform the ceremony if they know (at least one of) us rather than a pastor that barely knows our names. So keep us in your thoughts/prayers that something will work out.
