Only one thing missing....

So, I haven't blogged for a long long time.  I'm sorry.  I've missed it, and a recent habit of mine has sparked my blogging interest once again.

STUMBLE UPON.

I know I am a little behind on this ultimate form of procrastination craze, and boy am I sad about that.  For those of you who don't know Stumbling is a term used to describe hours small amounts time spent surfing through hundreds of pages of blogs/websites/articles handpicked to fit your interests.  

When I created my account 2 days ago I said I was interested in things like Christianity, fitness, food, humor, and.....weddings.  This last one is what inspires tonights post.

I am a completely hopeless romantic. 
I cry during romantic comedies.  
I gawk at couples holding hands and flirting in public.
  I daydream of just having someone to spend the rest of my life with.  
And mostly I fantasize about my future wedding.  
The dress: ivory lace with a v-neck front and back adorned with some sort of sash.  
The location: outdoor, or in an old vintage-y chapel. 
 The bridesmaids: many, and wearing simple J-Crew dresses in matching colors but various styles.  
The time: autumn.  
The theme: going with the season, autumn; fully equipped with earthy features to celebrate my favorite time of year.
The decorations: homemade (this will allow me to dip in to my crafty/resourceful/thriftiness)

What's missing?  The groom.

Am I bitter?  No?
 Why would I be bitter when it seems like everyone is growing up, finding the loves of their lives in college, and making plans for the rest of their lives?
Why would I be bitter when the sole wish of my young life is to be in love?
Why would I be bitter when every single wedding that comes up as I anxiously click "Stumble" are the epitome of my big day?

The dresses they wear? Perfect.
The decorations? Definition of craft perfection.
The themes? All outdoor and fall.
Bridesmaids? Flawless.

I see a pattern emerging....

But then I take a look back and think,
 "Is it really the wedding that matters?"
"Once I find the perfect man shouldn't it all just come together?"
"Should I really be spending my newfound time and freedom sulking over what I want in my future?"

I guess I'll just stick to my routine for now:
Praying for my soulmate knowing that God's got him out there somewhere, just waiting to be stumbled upon.
