Hi All! My name is Andrea and this is my blogsite for the modern Christian bride! As an engaged person, I have found several wonderful blogs for brides that help give inspiration for decorations, fashion, and even advice on how to organize and plan. But there didn't seem to be all that much inspiration in regards to the faith and spiritual needs of the bride...and so here I am!
I love my faith! In fact, I love my faith so much I am currently in my last semester of grad school at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry to become a Religious Educator :-) I also am very much in love with my Ryan...that's my fiance...he's so wonderful! And as a woman in love and about to get married, I feel as though I am growing each day in my sense of self, in my spirituality and in my relationship with God! I feel so blessed!
But I also sometimes feel a bit overwhlemed with all the wedding planning. I think nowadays sometimes, in the midst of all the details of the wedding, brides and grooms forget about the great blessing they have been given with the love of one another. With the overwhelming amount of decisions that need to be made and the large indentation the wedding makes in the bride and grooms wallets as well as all the stress of trying to make the special day "perfect"...we sometimes all forget in this wedding process what the wedding is really all about -- LOVE!!!
As Christians, we believe that God is Love! and that a wedding is a blessed, sacramental occassion in order to celebrate the Love that has so beautifully joined two people together! So with that in mind, this is my blog...a blog of inspiration for the modern bride or groom of faith! Hopefully it will help both you and me remember what weddings and marriages are really all about...because that yummy cake and beautiful dress are really only going to be for one day...but Love is forever! :-)
