Elegant Texas Wedding
Freddy and Brittney have wrote their own story about their love including biblical scripture
Brittney’s Version:
“As a child I witnessed the dynamics of married and unmarried woman in my family. From then on, I made a wholehearted decision to allow God to build me into the woman who could be a good wife to a deserving man. I read about attributes of a noble woman: Proverbs 31:10-31. In middle school I decided to work on the characteristics of a noble wife. As I patiently waited for this man to find me i worked on developing myself to become a multifaceted woman with many talents to allow my future husband to enjoy. I grew up with the idea of: date-to-marry, meaning I would imagine waking up to this person everyday till my last breath. If I could not envision this man in the long run, then I would not waste time. I went throughout life focused on my education, career and character until I got into a relationship thinking I had found the love of my life with no prior heartache thinking it was my fairy tale story. But instead I got a taste of heartache, pain and sorrow which caused me to bring myself back to God and allow him to heal me as well as forgive both myself and that man. I never gave up on the idea of being married to one man as many of my friends said:”I was too particular and wanted too much out of someone”, but I knew God had designed the right man for me. I knew I had prayed for this faceless husband who I did not know, he had no name and his path had yet to cross mine. But God said, if I ask for what I want and what I needed he will deliver and based on that belief I knew God did not design me to be alone. I remember getting stuck in a relationship with this guy who seemed to find the value in me as a woman but added no value to me as a man, it took me all of 8 months to breakup with him as I continued to ask God, is this really the man you have fighting for my heart? Many of my family and friends defended his position in my life which brought on so much confusion but this small voice in my heart continued to tell me, “this is not the man God has instore for you”. Four days before his birthday on the eve of Christmas, I decided to break it off. I almost lost some friendships because of it, however, I did lose 2 clients in my financial practice. I just knew God had somethings greater in store for me. After the break up, I went back to the idea of focusing on my career and education until my future husband found me. My field director insisted I go to southern regional. An event with all leading advisors. I enjoyed myself and learned so much but who would have thought I would be found the man I would potentially call my husband and take his last name. Many of my friends said I was complex and couldn’t find a man nearly as complex as myself, until I was blessed with this one man who I am enjoying my life with today. Thank you southern regional.”
Freddy’s Version
“Back in December 10th 2017, I felt inspired to write affirmations about my ideal relationship with my wife because I was tired of going in and out of relationships. My relationships in the past was not based on character and values, instead they were based on the physical. I continued to go into relationships with the thought process of “what can I solve versus what will compliment me?” Because I have been known to be a big researcher I began to research what a good relationship would look like such as, characteristics and I ended up finding a scripter: Habukah Chapter 2:2 “write down the vision and make it plain, so that those who hear it will run after it, oh it carries, it will come to past”. Therefore, I decided to write down my idea relationship between me and my wife as well as my financial practice. From that day on, I read those words of affirmations in the early morning and late night before bed. That affirmation gave me so much excitement and the belief that it could really happen. When 2018 began, I was encouraged to write my business goals leading me to adding my desires of my future wife, who I had planned to marry the same year. I was approached with the following fear “how many times have you planned for a wife and it failed and did not happen?” I erased the idea of marrying my wife in 2018 from both the plan and my mind to solely invest time to building my financial practice. As I continued the journey, the end of January came I was encouraged to go to southern regional to meet my fellow adviser and celebrate their achievements and the impact they are making in their community. When I arrived to southern regional, I had focused my energy on networking and meet the top advisers in the industry without the thought of meeting a woman who would completely match the full description of the wife I described back in December 20th 2017.”
