Our wedding is in 125 days. In honor of that I would like to post this video of a wedding that I am considering taking inspiration from. Does anybody want to volunteer to make this a musical wedding ceremony?

Lots happening
So I started a post a few months ago. Obviously that didn't turn out so well.
Coleman and I are in the middle of planning a wedding. Parts of the actual planning is stressful like everybody talks about. But the most stressful part so far has been my brother. His wedding is almost a month to the day before ours. And apparently ever since Coleman had the audacity to propose before Chris and Colleen were married (note the sarcasm) he's been incredibly selfish. This is where all of my wedding related stress has come from. He didn't talk to me for 6 weeks because we're using the same venue for our reception that he is. It makes me sad.
I've spent so much time praying for my own pending nuptials that I haven't at all for my brother's. Sometimes I feel like he is still living off our parents' faith and not claiming his own. He didn't find a community of believers in college. He still hasn't connected to anybody in the group he's going to now. I think more frustrating than his selfishness about wedding stuff is his lack of spiritual growth since high school. I feel like the rest of the siblings have taken the opportunities for growth that God has given us. Sometimes we learned our lessons the hard way, but we still grew. But it appears as though he's stagnant in his faith.
Please join me in praying for my brother, and my, marriage to be anchored in Jesus.
