Lorelei Jade is obsessed with nuptials. In ever way, shape, and form- she is all about being a bride. Not just for dress up. She refers to husbands and wives as 'love you forevers' since after asking me why I wore a wedding ring. I explained that I wear it because Christopher gave it to me as a promise to love me forever, and likewise why he wears his.
She has never been the little girl under the illusion that she will one day grow up and marry her daddy. She's always had a pretty realistic perspective of marriage. Even when she would wrap herself in tulle and call herself a 'bribe'. And when she used to say she wanted to marry Jake Begines and finally had to come to terms with the fact that he didn't want to marry her.
Driving down the road the other day, she sits quietly for a few minutes [which never happens], then says with such sweet sincerely, "Mom... I don't know who I'm gonna marry." She was actually concerned and worried over the idea that she had no idea who she would her groom-to-be is. I explained to her that she was only three and didn't need to figure that out until she was a grown up and to that she replied, "Okay. Good."
Little does she know, there isn't a little boy out there who can grow into a man good enough, smart enough, strong enough, special enough, wise enough, driven enough, humble enough, passionate enough, thoughtful enough, patient enough, successful enough, talented enough, loving enough, to be her husband.
Although, judging by what I've seen thus far, she's going to be the most epic Bridezilla to ever exist. Ever. So, good luck to the man that thinks he's good enough, smart enough, strong enough, special enough, wise enough, driven enough, humble enough, passionate enough, thoughtful enough, patient enough, successful enough, talented enough, loving enough, to tackle that.
This little tiny girl is going to give us a run for our money. I just pray that God starts preparing us now for the day when we have to give her away.
