Last night we were talking about the grace of God, and it really dawned on me how God HAS been gracious to me in this wedding journey as well. It is easy sometimes to see how certain things were so difficult, how some people took quite long to get back/the styles were quite different. But at the end of the day, there's so much to be thankful for

1. For ALL the people who have helped in big or small ways. whether its with the save the date, folding the pompom, writing names on my invites
2. For Clarissa who has helped us with so much of the artwork - our invites which received lots of compliments, the signages, guest cards, and more
3. For my mum and dad - who has helped with so much of the things we did not or could not do - picking up our invite prints, guest card prints, the pom poms and packing them so neatly into boxes which I would never have done. getting the table cloth ready, communion stuff ready and etc
4. For both our families - who were so accommodating to all our requests even though we werent doing everything the traditional or typical way
5. For my parents who provided a temporary place to house us so we could have our own privacy without the pressure of finding a house
6. For all the people who have spoken words of advice to us; and prayed with us and for us
7. For everyone who has agreed to be a part of our wedding - whether as an usher, bridal party, baking for the table, emcees. we have so many people involved and we know that it is our privilege to have them on board
8. that God took away all my bad dreams/nightmares about the wedding after abi and charlene prayed for me. this is one of the few times where I've seen a direct relation to the prayer and my dream, and not in a "it was going to happen anyway" kind of feeling so I am truly thankful to have this experience so I know prayer works
9. That we could take all the leave we wanted smoothly - whether it is for the wedding or for church camp or honeymoon
10. For everyone who has rsvped and are coming! A wedding is not one without witnesses and guests, it takes time out of peoples schedules and so we are truly grateful for every single one who is coming; and even for those who cannot but have given us their well wishes, and for those who have so graciously dropped us a red packet even though they arent coming.

Truly, it is not possible to hold a wedding on your own and while there have been frustrations working with various people, it is only one side of the coin and it is good to look at the flip side and count our blessings.

Two weeks to our big day, and i know we will look back with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving. I cant wait!
