Wedding Planning: Only For The Engaged?

Wedding planning shouldn't only be for the girls that are engaged to be married.

Wedding Planning: Only For The Engaged?
Kristin Bass

It's every girls dream to have the perfect wedding with the perfect guy and live happily ever after, or at least as close to it as possible.

I am currently single, and have no intentions or interest in getting married in the near future. It's something that I feel that I am not ready for yet, as I'm still trying to grow to become the best me that I can possibly be. I want to be the best me that I can be before I think about getting married to somebody. I do believe that there is a possibility that a significant other may be able to help me grow some before getting married, but I believe a lot of the growing that I need to do needs to be personal.

Though I feel like I am not ready for marriage, I have thought so much about my wedding and about my future Husband. No, I don't know who my future husband is yet, but I still think about what kind of a wife I want to be for him. I think about what kind of a wife God wants me to be for my future husband. I think about how strong our relationship with each other will be and how strong our relationship with God will be, both as a combined relationship and individual relationships with God will be.

I pray every day for my future husband and for my future relationship. I pray that God is with my future husband and is helping him to become an amazing guy, is becoming the best that he can be, and that God is helping him to become husband material.

Along with thinking and praying about my future husband and about my marriage, I think about my dreams for the wedding itself. I know that I'm going to want to get my future husbands input on some of the details, but I love trying to come up with some of the details on how I went my wedding to turn out. I get excited all the time about my wedding.

I think it's good for a girl to think about her wedding at any age, even if she is still single or in a relationship that she doesn't think will last forever. It gives them a sense of hope of the future.

I also believe that even if a girl starts thinking about her wedding beforehand and starts getting a sense of hope for her wedding, I believe that the older a girl is before she starts seriously planning a wedding, the better the wedding will be, and the closer she will be with God. The older a girl is before she starts planning her wedding, the more realistic the wedding will turn out to be. The older a girl is before she starts planning wedding in a serious sense, it gives that girl a better sense of reality, a better sense of what a wedding should really be like.

When I was a little girl, I wanted a princess theme wedding based on all of the Disney Princesses. Now that I'm older, I want to feel like a princess at my wedding, but I don't necessarily want a Disney Princess wedding anymore. I started somewhere with my dream though, and I have evolved it the further I get in life and the more mature I am

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
