From Girlfriend to Wife

My Transformation as a Fiance

I am getting married in 25 days. 

Such a short time. Do you recall when it was way back 200++ or 100++ days. Days run fast. I can hardly catch my breath. Back then, I prayed for the days to be shorter. So that I ca already be Paul's wife and then its done. I've reached my goal. I'm already Mrs. Paul Bumagat. Wow, even the thought of that gives my stomach butterflies. 

But today, all I wanted is to slow it down. I haven't given my ring to the jeweler to be engraved. I havent finalized the program and liturgy yet. And last Sunday, I was just able to add two more ninangs on our list. The funny things is, my fiance was able to secure his leave already. He is a soldier and that takes a lot from him. And to be honest, I haven't passed my LOA request. 

I need time. And I need a lot. 

Or do I really? Or am I just running towards control. Women are control freak. We like to take charge and we don't mind the things we miss out. And  things we don't see. Like buying a very expensive label on sale just to realize it doesn't fit. Or buying several house decorations for options and then not making time on displaying them. 

Today, I am challenged by Mr. Josiah Go. Well, not really him challenging me. It was him inspiring me. Making me realize that I love giving, sharing and talking about being a better wife. And I have hardly written about it. 

So for this 25 days, and in respect beyond everything that I blog about preparing for the big grand yet simple wedding day of yours and mine, I apologize for writing down what I always talked about.

Becoming the best wife. 

Accepting the responsibilities that a wife does. And knowing the things we do best. 

Will it be easy? No. But it will be if you are ready. If you have Christ.

Is it different. Yes. Very different.

And so I promise to write a series on the dilemmas not only Brides like you and I face. But also girlfriends like who we were before need to know.
